I worked at NCO Financial full-time for more than a year
Pros – Very easy to move up due to lack of qualified individuals
Cons – Very stressful to get yelled at all day by Apple customers, and to only have 8 seconds between calls. Everything is very closely monitored and you have to follow a break schedule to a T just to be eligible for a bonus.

I worked at NCO Financial full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – It's a job, and honestly there are people there that are great to interact with. Also, if the center as a whole is doing well then they do try to put prizes out there for exceptional performances.
Cons – When I was there last there were several issues with the upper management not working with employees on things like schedule. I've had and seen several issues there with paychecks in the past that are difficult at best to get resolved. The grading system they had in place when I left for the quality monitoring of the calls was rather subjective. They also had an issue with a high turnover rate on employees.
Advice to Senior Management – The changes that were needed may have been taken care of by now- I don't know. However, my suggestions would be to stop keeping unions out of the place, or at least make it so the unions wouldn't be necessary. If someone is sick, or has a sick or injured child or family member it would be a good idea to let them take care of that. Such actions would help employees feel like they're cared about and thus would make them more willing to work through any mess in a positive way and keep them there.
