I registered for this company and they take down your social security number. But when I clicked the final button it said that my information could not be verified. I sent the message to the company to ask for them to see what happened and they just sent me another message saying "We have been unable to validate the Name and SSN information you have provided. Therefore you are no longer eligible to register to use the Arise platform. " JUST LIKE THAT. No investigating WHY my information could... Read More »

Arise gave us the opportunity to work from home as well as allow other CSPs who do not have their own company to join us and work from home as well. With this company you can pick your own hours, days and project. Read More »

I recently took a class completed it and signed my SOW which is the agreement to work and it details out everything about the company you are servicing. Well I am about 4 weeks into this SOW (contract to work) and I get a revise to my SOW that they are lower the revnue for the time I service the client. First let me start by saying I have been doing the kind of work I am doing for Arise for years in the working world and made a whole lot more money. But really liked the idea from doing it f...

I am surprised by all the bad reviews. I am an IBO and have not experienced any of the issues being mentioned in a lot of the reviews. I would suggest you do your own research. The only issue I had was not receiving calls which wasn't an Arise issue it was a client issue. Secondly, ensure that you match up with an honest IBO. Arise doesn't charge any outrageous fees. It could be that the IBO was charging the CSP a fee. It is a good practice to read the Opportunity Announcement. It spells ou... Read More »

I have been with Arise for one client. Unfortunately the management has no idea what they are doing unless it is their intention to steal. They cannot track minutes, it's always the client's fault. They will take your fee and then find a reason to release you from certification with no refund. They will approve you for a client and then pull it away, they will deny you a client and not notify you. You get blank virtual stares and one liners after waiting for sometimes hours for "Partne...

When I first heard about Arise I was excited. I created a company and jumped in with both feet. I registered and paid for training, 4 weeks at 20 hours a week and 15 hours of week of home work. I started with the client and was terminated a month later. No reason given except the client changed their plan and went to sales. So I paid for and trained for 6 weeks 20 hours a week and 15 hours of homework for another client. I worked for this client and told everyone what a great 'gig' I had.... Read More »

Stay as far away from this company as you can. They make you pay for training, which is justified by them telling you that you will make that back upon certification. I can't begin to tell you how many people did not certify due to no fault of their own. They over schedule, then under schedule, release the schedule at odd times other than when it is supposed to be available so that it is impossible to get the hours you need. Their technology is cheap and outdated, constantly failing and makin... Read More »

Its impossible to talk to a real person when you have issues. Their tech support is a total joke. All they care about is getting you to enroll in a course so they can collect your money.

I have been working for Arise for 4 years now. Yes, it is a legit work at home business. It is true you can create your own schedule, providing the shifts are available that you need. It is a good job for someone that needs to be at home with kids. However, you basically have to work a million hours a week to make any kind of money because, like any other company, you will only make minimum wage. You have to pay for your background check and the initial testing. Then you have to pay to train... Read More »

Arise has had numerous complaints about their practices and policies, but seems to avoid any investigation. There are several complaints against them on Rip off Report dot com, and Arise seems to try to put forth effort in resolving these issues on Rip off Report dot com. Perhaps you should post your complaints with them as well. Rip Off Report dot com has facilitated a few resolutions with its members. I wish you all the best in having these issues resolved.

Let me add this only happens to classes that they are not desperate to fill. If they are desperate they will do anything to get you in. The rules change according to what is going on at that time.

Once a business PAYS for a membership with the BBB then they get their A+ rating, so know your facts. Here is another FACT! Arise is now under FEDERAL investigation.

It’s impossible to get any response from a human when you have problems. Yes, it’s a business opportunity, but even McDonald’s has support for their franchisees. The first project was with a major electronics company. After training, it was nearly impossible to post hours since it was the slow season. Finally, I was able to post about 3 hours. T...

Nothing less and nothing more. I have never had a four hour wait for tech support. EVER. However, I do know they have a smaller staff over night that is to be used for urgently working ACPs only.

Greetings, Unfortunately, my experience with Arise Virtual Solutions has been quite disappointing. There are quite a few things Arise can do to improve their Business to Business relationship with their Virtual Service Corporations (VSCs).

Hence, you HAVE to create a Incorporated business or Limited Liability Corporation (L.L.C.) if you want to work with Ari... Read More »

I have used this company and I have spent money on becoming incorporated and other various requirements. I think it is totally unfair to have to pay someone to be trained. This company makes money off of the hopes of their representative's failing. This is how it works: You spend hours studying for an exam to become an agent, if you are lucky enough to pass, you have to pay the company to be trained for various jobs. If you fail, you are out of $200+ not including the cost of becoming an inco... Read More »

As with any business there are risks that you take when pursuing. The clients that I work there are hours to post all the time.

They fire perfectly good agents so they can train and hire more (must be where the $$ is). That has become the normal practice and it's really getting old to watch.
