Pros

If your face fits, you will do fine. Training programme is comprehensive and thorough, certainly make you feel welcome (at the start). Individuals make the atmosphere workable.

Cons

Very toxic call centre culture. Heavy, heavy focus on stats is almost unbearable and suffocating. There is an undercurrent of corner cutting which leads itself to manipulation of impossible stats to achieve. The problem is this begins at management level so culture is wrong from the get-go. Customers get the brunt of the toxicity by being reduced to a number and not a person. Miss-selling is rife. Products pushed to those who have no need of it for the promise of the bonus for the adviser. Little to no consideration of the human being on the end of the phone. Offered impossible deals to stop customers leaving by other sites (or the colleague that sits right next to you) that cannot be replicated. Most struggle to make it through a year of service and it's not hard to see why, The relentless nature of the role is hard to stomach.

Pros

Benefits are better than most US companies. You get twice or triple the numbers of days off per year.

Cons

Focus is more on originating company location for group events and emails. Due to time zone differences, it can be difficult to work with others without adjusting your schedule. It is difficult to get promoted outside originating country. Roles are few and far between in the US.
