Pros

Intro pay is okay and provided free parking, although it's a ten minute walk away.

Cons

Selfish work environment, squeamish leadership, poor company-wide communication, hires under-qualified workers. Frequently answering for someone else's mistakes. Very conservative/old corporate standards for workplace expectations and business conduct. And a somewhat disturbing facade of upward mobility - this is stressed so often during the training period but the actual "promotions" are actually insignificant steps up the ladder, effectively horizontal moves. Employee retention seems low, with several found instances of new hire groups that diminished over 75% within six months.

Pros

Free bus. Relatively stable jobs, nice people, comfortable work areas, lovely Facilities team, free flu jabs, that's about it really.

Cons

Historic abuse of power by managers, failure to follow own policies and processes, senior management won't give you the time of day if your face doesn't fit, absurdly overpaid top level and underpaid lower level. Probably the worst Reception staff I've ever seen, unhelpful and a bit grumpy looking! Horrible food, not subsidised.

Pros

-Generous PTO and holidays. Follows the stock market schedule, which means nine holidays. -Good benefits. Decent starting pay. -Good training program. Opportunity to learn about an interesting industry. You don’t have to have previous experience in the industry. They will teach you what you need to know. -Many supportive, caring people work there. You might have to look for them, but they are there. Some of the team leads are great and always ready to help. If you are lucky enough to work under a great team lead, they will encourage your development and morale. -There will be opportunities to advance, once you survive the call center floor. -Lots of parties, holiday events, and rewards such as gift cards.

Cons

-Some team leads are not so great. If you work under one who doesn’t build morale or give a lot of support, you will have to work harder to develop on your own as best you can. -Difficult expectations to meet: Quality must be high. Adherence must be high. Average Handle Time must be low. Personal time must be low. Run to the bathroom and grab your drink from the break room as fast as possible, then get back on those phones! -Quality expectations: It’s hard to feel like you have the tools to keep quality high. You will get calls that you’re not trained to handle, which means it’s too easy to handle them wrong. Then that call will be the one pulled and scored. This is bad for agents, and it’s also bad for the caller who gets an agent not trained to help them properly. -Not transparent about raises: They give the impression that you will get a raise soon after you start, but they don’t tell you that the raise is based on your quality. Good attendance and adherence don’t matter; only your quality matters. But you don’t find out this until your team lead tells you that no, you won’t be getting that raise. The manager decided you haven’t done well enough. They give the impression you have a lot of time to develop, then pull the rug out from under you when you’re not nearly perfect right at the start. This hurts morale and feels like managers are not there for you.
