Call Center Hell

Recommend

Pros

Benefits are good. Tickets to local events, including pro sporting events, are offered on a regular basis. Employees are selected based on their ability to deal with angry insurance claimants with a smile, so your colleagues are good people. Starting base pay is low although you can make it up through performance bonuses rather quickly. They will pay for you to get your industry designations

Cons

You either like call center life or you don't. The customer comes first so shifts are based on their convenience and are not very employee-friendly. Don't try to get time off outside the yearly vacation bid. Upward mobility requires the willingness to relocate, probably to Dallas, Atlanta, or Phoenix.

Pros

Good salaries and benefits. Pleasant physical facilities.

Cons

Very little flexibility. Very little concern for work/life balance. Too much emphasis on numbers and not enough on the quality of work.

Pros

"Quality of life," great support staff, decent benefits package, and a pension (at least for now) make it a decent place to work.

Cons

Little to no recognition for successful results, no real opportunity for advancement, low salaries with minimal increases, constant micro-micro-management of employees at all levels, low office morale, favoritism to members of the "inner circle" which deprives non-members of nearly all opportunities.
