Pros

I work from home so when things are slow I can do pretty much whatever I want as long as I stay near the phone.

Cons

Worked for another company that moved their support to Teleperformance, and it has been all downhill. We were told by the recruiter that we would be able to keep our current schedules when we moved over. This was a lie. I was on the first shift and was moved to the last shift. We were told there wouldn't be shift bidding but when warned that the schedules would be changing again we would "have to earn it" and this was "our warning." I took pictures of these messages as proof if necessary. There is no clear way for any of us to change to a different shift except to swap with somebody (I hate the current shift I am on and and desperate to get my life back). Whenever I have any kind of technical problem and call their help desk, their first through is to blame by internet connection. The most recent issue, I thought it was a problem with my profile. I told them this and they insisted it was my connection. 4 days later they realized it was in fact my profile. I contacted my supervisor about this several times and did not get a response until I requested he reply Communication is terrible, almost non-existent. I had checked my schedule on a Thursday. When I went to sign in on Sunday I found out I was scheduled to start my shift 6 hour earlier. When I contacted my supervisor about this I was told the schedules changed on Friday.We have no way to check our schedules when we aren't working so I had no way to know my schedule changed. Also related to this, I found out I was to be moved over to a different product when I noticed my profile had changed. I asked my supervisor about it. Supposedly there was a conference call about this, on my day off. Nobody notified me of this in any official way. To date, I still haven't been trained on this new product and had to request it be removed from my stills twice. The supervisors and SME's (whatever those are) have never supported the products so they do not fully understand what is necessary to troubleshoot and solve issues. They add extra players of bureaucracy to simple things such as asking for assistance or escalating issues. There is no room for advancement unless I relocate to Florida (at my own expense).

Pros

The hiring process was quick and efficient. During onboarding for my initial position, the equipment arrived on time and setup was straightforward. As a seasonal Medicare Sales Agent working through a third-party vendor, I appreciated the opportunity to gain industry experience. While my role was limited due to the seasonal nature of the position, it strengthened my customer service, sales, and communication skills. It increased my interest in pursuing a long-term career in healthcare and insurance.

Cons

Transitioning to a new role within the company was extremely frustrating. After my seasonal assignment ended, I spent approximately five months attempting to move into another campaign. I accepted a position in December and attended multiple technical checks, but the equipment issues were never resolved. Rather than providing updated equipment, repeated attempts were made to use older equipment that was not functioning properly. Because I was still tied to the pending position, I was unable to apply for other opportunities within the company until the role was officially closed and the equipment returned. After several technical checks went unresolved, I ultimately decided to stop pursuing additional roles with the company.
