Pros

Met a lot of nice people. training was fun. Tried to be optimistic. Other than meeting nice people, there was nothing else.

Cons

I have worked as a customer service rep for about 15 years. I have never had a such a negative experience. You were unable to have a pen at your desk, the script was too long and the head phones which you pay $80.00 for did not work well and you could not hear the customer with all the music and background chatter.

Pros

Trainers and Supervisors had a great Team Spirit helping everyone , even outside of training and their own individual teams, ...A REAL PLUS!. LOTS of overtime available. Fair company. Pre-employment tests were easy. Training was good. NOT a "clique-e" environment. NO discrepencies on accurate and timely pay.

Cons

Recruiting/new hiring was TOTALLY disorganized and discombobulated, ...made you wonder, ...somewhat demotivating. Downtown location had poor and limited parking @ $10/day, ...getting a ticket for expired meters and expired spaces was very common. Raises are very structured, regimented and slow. No assigned seating in call center from day to day... first come/first served, seat and work station still warm from previous shift. Ventilation not very good, fumes from carpet glue, or whatever, gave frequent head aches.

Pros

Paid training in which you barely learn your job functions but hey, it's paid training. Everyone I trained with were very nice people For the most part everyone I met was very nice (some had attitudes but that was usually supervisors which I am assuming because their job sucks) Mgmt advised our class from the beginning to keep looking for a better job elsewhere (thanks for the advice!) Got paid to sit in on seminars from people pushing office supplies to bank products which had nothing to do with me but it was paid

Cons

*Another cheap outsourcer nothing special about this place *Poor training (My trainer was nice but the curriculum provided by the client is horrible) *Low pay for what's expected and they are very demanding *Commission/Incentive whatever you want to call it is not really attainable and so low that it's depressing. They should be ashamed to even offer it that low. *Dance around questions *Lots of finger pointing at client *Nickel and dime your pay. *First day on phone and they were already going off about everyone's handle time and sales *The call types constantly change but I won't even go into that *Bottom line only work here if you are so desperate for a job that even McDonald's won't hire you.
