Pros

Own work space. Large proportion of female coworkers. Some supervisors were very kind and enthusiastic. It was beneficial that they were also call reps at one point. Pay was good for college student.

Cons

Training failed to detail the scope of client needs. There seemed to be conflicts daily with the delivering of messages/outbound. This led me to question the purpose/practicality of the services we offered. Makes it hard to work for a company that also serviced obvious "scam" companies, i.e. clients that dealt with financial matters and used the Stericycle messaging services as a way to distract customers, leading them to believe their concerns were being listened to. These aspects made it difficult to keep a positive outlook on work. The office culture tries to be optimistic and inclusive and while it is, I myself find it corny and would rather not participate. Made me feel like I was in Elementary school again. It's a tool to try and make employees feel very important and while sometimes it did increase employee connection, I figure there must be different ways to do so without it feeling juvenile. Stressful getting a call every 1-3 seconds. Weird knowing everything on the computer is being monitored, including time gone to the bathroom, etc. I understand this is part of the job, but it did not work for me.

I would love to hear more about training and how it can be improved along with some of your other experiences. We have a current committee who is working on what improvements need to be made. We are a company with very a very strong commitment to our core values. We have encourage all our team members to reach out if they feel that anything has conflicted with them. We have formal and informal processes for discussing anything that our team members want to discuss. If you feel comrfortable talking to me, you can reach me at 817-291-8658 or lara.morrow@stericycle.com. - Lara Morrow
