Pros

The company does try to "give back" to the employees with luncheons, bagels, picnic.

Cons

Management is very unprofessional and relaxed at best. There is no training what so ever. The motto is "figure it out" There is no team work. Advancement only if they like you. Very stressful environment.

This March, COCC launched its annual Employee Training Program. This program consists of a wide variety of resources to help employees succeed and excel in their roles or grow into new ones! These programs are available through open enrollment to ALL employees, with no cost to the employee. In 2018 we will offer employees over 115 onsite instructor-led programs. Topics range from communication skills to business skills to technical skills, as well as wellness and mindfulness modules and teambuilding classes that bring together employees from all levels of the company. The goal is to provide a diverse and flexible program of learning. In addition to onsite classes, we provide access to multiple eLearning licenses depending on the subject matter, including SANS, PluralSight, CBT Nuggets, New Horizons, and Learning Tree International. We provide a multitude of internally developed, custom workshops created and delivered by our subject matter experts focused on building product, service and technical knowledge. Employees have access to these programs beginning day one of their employment at COCC and are encouraged by their managers to attend. COCC also has an active and robust leadership and development program. Workshops range from coaching and performance management to inclusion and emotional intelligence. One-on-one coaching sessions with certified coaches are available for managers, supervisors, and team leads to encourage growth and build skill. Managers, supervisors, and team leads are required to attend this year’s Service Excellence track, which will cover what it means to be a manager at COCC. In addition, our Women in Leadership programs support the advancement of women into leadership positions across the enterprise. Our custom early leadership program encourages our newest leaders with interactive roundtables and customized micro learning tools. This year’s program will include over 50 of our new leaders, the vast majority of whom have been promoted internally.

Pros

COCC is a fair call center workplace, there's enough to praise, but it is not without it's flaws. I'll start with some things I can say are pretty good! There's small bonuses given during the year, and starting pay is more than most call centers. Lots of Resources for learning call structures, and how our products work. Enough PTO hours throughout the year, including carry over from the prior year. Forma benefits for Full time and Part time. Days off on Xmas Day, 4th of July and Thanksgiving. Communication from Supervisors and colleagues is pretty good and most of the time clear. Colleagues can be very supportive and helpful whenever they can be!

Cons

Lack of communication with Clients/Banks. (Banks are always closed or busy when needing to contact them for help.) Customer attitudes are horrific, and much worse since tensions have been very high in the last 8 years with AI and other current events. You will get accused of working remote as if it is a bad unethical thing, and doesn't benefit poor people who struggle with mentall illness and disability. A little too much of a positive outlook on big projects, when lots of things go wrong 100 percent of the time. (But yet they do improve over time, so its more of a so-so thing.) Training is way too short, and probably needs more time and structure before sending people to do calls on their own. PTO is hard to use, and sick days are limited to 5 before you could be suspended. Blackout periods (AHOD weeks where you are forced to work) are also a lot of trouble especially when there might be alot going on in your personal life. This is possibly the hardest call center job, there is a lot of things you will learn about, and use during your time here. On top of that, customers can make things incredibly difficult.
