Cons
Doesn’t promote work-life-balance No mentorship for newbies, you have to do it your own No solid process, no guidelines or standardize process per site Non-transparency on workload, you function differently when you go live even if it’s not in your contract
Advice to Management
Kindly consider your employees life outside work. Yes, free trainings and book reviews is a privilege. But atleast check with your employees first if they’re OK with it. Also, provide the necessary guide or transitions on newbies especially on by laws, heirarchy of command per dept, dont overload them with projects that requires redundant reports to maintain.

Why do SYKES employees quit?
Pros
There are no real pros
Cons
They will terminate you for medical reasons, they give you a totally different way to call out the when you push hr for reasons they say you did not follow protocol. They will use a wrongful termination to not allow for a promotion even if you are more then qualify while letting others who have no clue get a promotion.
Advice to Management
Make sure you follow basic legal laws. It is ashamed that employees have to seek legal advice and threaten wrongful termination in order for you to open your eyes and see the injustice between programs. I would suggest that you make sure that your programs all follow what you write rather than say one thing and be told something else.

How are promotions handled at SYKES?
Pros
The work environment, your peers and most managers are really great people to work with and you will learn a lot of great skills that will work with most jobs out there.
Cons
Promotions are biased, it's a favoritism competition and in some cases tests are given in secret to the person that they want to give the promotion.
Advice to Management
HR Managers, stop reviewing policies and taking decisions from your desk, get involved and see how favoritism is ruining the reputation of that place. What people write on their exit interviews is not realistic and they just do it so they won't leave a bad record.
