Pros

There is opportunity for advancement. There are many people in the company that do everything they can to make the work experience enjoyable. Unfortunately, these people do not have as much power as the liars who call the shots.

Cons

1. They start off on a bad note with many employees because the terms of hire are falsified. They state that employees receive 3 weeks of training pay and then regular salary. Unfortunately they tell every new class that they can't change the pay rate in the middle of a pay period and stick them with the 4th week at reduced pay. 2. Management offers are often adjusted without notice and forced on those who accept the position. I was offered 32,000 for a supervisor position. When the offer letter from corporate arrived, it stated that I would receive 28,000. I refused and was told that the change was already entered into the system and nothing could be done about it. This continued for about four months until it was finally corrected. However, no backpay was issued. 3. Pay for the Laptop / Printer group is not competitive with other companies in the area that provide the same level of support. They aim to recruit the cheapest help instead of people with the necessary skills to support the customers which places a strain on supervisors when they have to babysit agents on phone calls because that lack basic knowledge such as how to get to the device manager on a Windows PC or what an IP address is.

Pros

Lunch lasts for 1 hour. Some managers are nice. Compensation is not bad for a call center job.

Cons

Contradictory set of info provided during training compared to later on, and sometimes you get penalized for providing honest information that you aren't prohibited from giving out. There's about seven million rules that you are expected to follow, and many of them are dumb. Some managers are annoying/jerks. Management gets really frustrated that customers leave from conversations dissatisfied even though we are literally calling them as Collections Agents for a credit card company to tell them they are thousands of dollars in debt. If you get 2 Compliance fails they fire you (and Compliance fails aren't just for regulatory things the company can get sued for). Expected to follow regulations that do not even apply to our particular company. (Newsflash! HIPAA does not apply to credit card companies!). Now if you get 4 dissatisfaction surveys from customers they fire you. (Getting fired at this job is extremely easy! I nearly got fired when I was reluctant to take a transfer call I was NOT authorized to take and upper management said I wasn't being a "good teammate" because of my reluctance to take the call.) Dissatisfaction surverys are also ridiculously hard to dispute. Customers are extremely horrible, foul-mouthed, stupid, vindictive and nasty. You get like 2 hours of PTO per month, which is about 2 days out of the entire year. No holiday pay - they will just send you home with no pay on Christmas. People steal your lunch if you put it in the company fridge. There's an oppressive atmosphere of complete misery that hangs over the whole building. If the company decides to move on to a different call center, they call a townhall meeting the day that it happens without any advance notice to let all the call center agents that they are being furloughed or let go. Also, they have confirmed finding a bed bug problem in the building. Run, run away!
