Pros

They give you food Company transport Free snacks and coffee

Cons

They fire people in a blink just like any other call center in Pakistan. This firing process will eventually make them a call center and people will not take work seriously. There is no job security at least in the lahore office. You never know when you are next in the line of “ we will have to let you go”. I never expected this from a company like KT. I will not rate it as the best work place in Pakistan. They have to seriously work on retaining employees and stop firing. Change your strategy KT Pakistan or you will be doomed.

Pros

- The base pay is competitive and the commission structure is awesome. - good benefits - free lunch and snacks -happy hours - great product for long haul market

Cons

- unfair expectations put on certain sales reps. If you are liked by management than they are more likely to be lenient towards you. The expectations are not standardized across the board. - the sf office has a bit of a gossipy vibe - the sales force is horrendous (duplicate accounts everywhere; You’d call call into an “open” account just to find that they are actually a customer - SDR and AE metrics don’t align - management is moving more and more to a micro management style of leadership
