Pros

I applied for the job because of the flexible schedule (as long as you have 40 hours by Friday you're okay) and the pay, which is higher than a lot of call centers in the area. The recruiter actually talked me into taking the job because I'd never done sales before and I was really nervous about it. Im glad I took it! Ive learned so much. The management has been so encouraging and patient with me. They're all really nice (even the upper level and clients, who are always approachable) and will stop and help anybody, even if the employee is on another team. Managers create fun contests with prizes such as spiffs, lunches, ice cream, and even an iPad. My project is new and we've all become very close because we had to learn everything together. As far as people saying that they're liars...its a new project and there are going to be some inconsistencies until things solidify. I've also never been told to lie to the customers. Not sure where that came from. So if you're considering applying, go for it! For the most part, all of my coworkers seem happy to be there and any drama or bad attitudes get the boot immediately. The people who get fired are mainly the ones who either don't follow the rules (regularly not dialing, slacking off, breaking policy, etc) or expect an easy paycheck.

Cons

Not many, and the ones I have are minor and tolerable-hard to find a good parking spot, elevators are too slow, the cafe closes too early. Although my only serious gripe is that the system we use for leads is a pain in the @#$! One time the guy next me called the same lead at the same time that I did. Management is aware that's it's a quirky system and hopefully something gets fixed.

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!
