Pros

This is a call centre. where you work in 24 hrs shift. You will talk to several people. You will be 6 minutes to complete the case.

Cons

I strongly advise against considering this company. My experience with Foundever, formerly Sitel, in Portugal has been quite challenging. The company's treatment of its employees raises serious concerns. Despite mentioning a 5.1 EUR hourly pay on the payslip, the actual pay is only 3 EUR/hr. Team Leaders consistently pressure employees to meet targets, enforcing a strict six-minute timeframe for each case and requiring a minimum of 18 open cases simultaneously. This workload places a significant burden on employees, affecting both performance and well-being. Issues with compensation, including deductions from meals, bonuses, and extra hours, are common. The HR department's lack of competence is evident, with poor responsiveness to emails and a tendency to redirect concerns to Team Leaders. The company's system seems designed to discredit or penalize employees systematically. It's worth noting a pattern of hiring individuals at low salaries for short-term contracts, followed by frequent terminations. This strategy avoids providing raises or benefits. Diversity initiatives seem disingenuous, as employees from diverse backgrounds, including Asians, Mexicans, and Latin Americans, are often exploited. The company's approach can result in a significant negative impact on personal and professional aspects of life. It's essential to be cautious about the company's self-reported ratings on its website, as they may not accurately reflect the actual work environment. Career advancement opportunities appear limited. Overall, joining this company may lead to financial loss, compromised freedom, diminished creativity, strained relationships, and a significant impact on one's quality of life. It's crucial to carefully consider these aspects before deciding to become part of this organization.

Pros

Some level of job security. You know exactly what you're doing because it's a call center. Different client projects that you could apply to be part of. Located in Orem by the mall. Decent pay ($25 an hour... for now).

Cons

You can't have anything on the call floor depending on the client (I support Intuit, so there are no phones, paper, pencils, books... nothing). The benefits are atrocious. PTO doesn't start until after 6 months. Company politics and favorites exist here. I'd say about 30% of calls get transferred to us from other departments (Payroll, Payments, Desktop, Saves, Sales, pretty much everyone) that should not have been transferred and could have been solved without us. They're going to hire more account resolution specialists soon after so many agents left, and they're starting their pay at $20 an hour.... so just think about what means for us. You get one occurrence per day you are absent even if you call in sick. I think 10 is the limit.
