Pros

For the contract I am currently working under the pay is not horrible (with one caveat - see cons). They also just recently opened up a new building at the site which looks a lot nicer than the older buildings we were working in (...but yeah, uh, see cons again). As a 'business services' company, Concentrix is not unlike a barnacle - but one that can move from whale to whale, thus ensuring it's survival long after the whale dies or shrugs it off. So, if you're not picky about what product you're supporting or how much you're paid...

Cons

This company provides contract-based customer service, but unlike some competitors each contract is basically considered it's own 'call center'. Because the company fosters that mindset, employees working under different contracts rarely interact with each other and essentially have to follow a different set of rules than their coworkers - even when it comes to things like dress code, which are normally standardized. Although the pay is not bad, payroll errors are very commonplace. I've been working here almost a year, and it's not an exaggeration to say that almost every payday someone's check is wrong (usually it's multiple people) - wrong pay rate, taxes withheld don't match W-4, wrong amount of hours worked, paychecks issued as paper checks when they should be direct deposit, paper checks supposedly sent to a site out of state, you name it. I'm not talking about small or insignificant errors, like missing .25 hours here or there, but huge glaring errors like only getting paid for 6 hours when it should have been 80, or finally getting a paper check Monday when your direct deposit should have posted the Friday before. On top of that, incremental raises which were promised based on tenure don't get applied until months after they should have been. As mentioned, they just opened up a new building at our location. It looks nice, but they basically took a building which was built in the 50's and gave it a fresh coat of paint and new furniture. It seems to suffer from major plumbing problems, and only a couple months after opening (and with only a fraction of it's projected capacity) there are clogged toilets daily, toilets that flush for 3-5 minutes when you push the lever, and 'out of order' signs posted on bathroom doors. Things like toilet paper and paper towel dispensers are luxury that also *frequently* are broken and don't work.

Pros

I've worked in previous call centres, door to door work, retail and the catering industry and I've hated all my other previous jobs more than this one and it can be an enjoyable place to work for the most part. It's not the worst company I've ever worked for and you could definitely work for a worse call centre, I think people forget that this IS a call centre, they are all very fast paced environments and all call centres expect you to work hard and hit high targets, if you can't do that, don't apply to work in one because you will obviously hate it after a month or so. - Friendly coworkers (for the most part) - Opportunity to work hours that suit your needs - Slightly above minimum wage - In the city centre of Belfast unlike alot of other call centres, easy to locate offices and cheaper than having to travel far to get to work if you do live in Belfast - Opportunity for promotion if you're willing to prove yourself - No payroll issues - Choice of weekly or monthly pay

Cons

- Lack of communication about changes - HR are practically non existent, hard to get a hold of in emergencies and can take weeks/months to get back to you - VERY target focused, expect an interview on why you're not meeting it, even if its not something you can control (long call notes, system issues etc) - Some favouritism exists with some managers - Very hard to be taken seriously when it comes to complaints or suggestions - No bonus scheme and next to no benefits on some contracts - Upper management don't seem to really care about their employees - Staff rooms and toilets are disgusting (but this is due to some staff not cleaning up after themselves and being disgusting, not managements fault, there are regular cleaners in place, staff need to learn to clean up after themselves and be more hygienic and in some extreme cases stop acting like farm animals) - Air con/heating issues, sweat box in the summer, freezing in the winter - Holidays are never available, favouritism applies when requesting dates off, not first come first served as it should be
