Okay pay for a call centre
Cons
You are expected to be on the phone at all times. 10 min toilet break time which goes against you if you take it. Management does not listen. Expected to push boiler cover and other services although advertise as a Customer Service role with no sales. They are also really into safety and can get in trouble if you don't hold on to the left hand side of the handrail when walking down the stairs.
