Pros

Good experience on resume Easy to get hired Sutherland is a good place straight out of school to get some relevant experience to put on your resume. That's about all you'll gain here. We had 2 weeks of paid training which you will get a crash course on what you need to be proficient in. Sutherland will hire anybody with a good attitude and very basic knowledge of PCs. This would be a Con if you're competent because it lowers the overall quality of your program.

Cons

Low pay Long work hours Thankless job Working tech support at Sutherland Global Services you can expect to be paid at least 40% below national average for your line of work. You will work long, thankless hours and the more talented you are, the more you will be taken advantage of. You will recieve a larger work load to compensate for the lower quality portion of the techs. Sutherland Global Services from what I've seen, will keep the terrible techs because I suppose they're too soft to let people go. That is a Pro if you lack confidence in your abilities or knowledge. If you want to advance around here it's simple...you do not have to be smart, just suck up to your superiors and become their buddys. Advancement will go to friends first and the deserving if there are no friends left. At the end, our program was very successful and we got outsourced to call centers in India where Sutherland could pay their employees much less.

Pros

Remote work and great coworkers

Cons

Extremely low pay for the amount of work and the type of calls that you have to deal with. Lots of mircomanaging. Unrealistic metrics. Lack of knowledge and competency from leadership because at no point should your workers know more than you about the job itself. No care for unforseen life circumstances that affect your ability to work. Very stressful and mentally exhausting which often leads to burnout. No recognition for hard work and meeting metric goals. Too hard to get PTO approved. Tech and internal systems are always breaking which affects your ability to do your job. No one is ever on the same page which often leads to being given incorrect information. No room for growth or opportunities to go into other roles. Benefits are not that great. Mid health insurance plans, no 401K match, no parental leave, and no internet reimbursements. They'll sell you a fairytale in training so BEWARE.
