Horrible Company to Work For
Pros
The pay is fairly decent, and is certainly competitive for the area, as well as free satellite TV service to employees.
Cons
I'll just list these: -Long Hours -Horrible Benefits -"Corporate" has no value for it's employees -Most managerial staff could care less about its employees nor how well they perform -Regularly "talent manages" employees out the door for performing poorly -Relies heavily on certain "customer satisfaction" metrics to grade the agent, regardless of how well the agent actually performs according to the "Quality Assurance" guidelines -Very inflexible concerning employees who are students. I was personally informed by one of the HR managers that an agent, and I quote, "must be with their supervisor 100% of the time" even if that means having to skip classes in order to be at work -Risks employees lives to have an agent on the phone vs. an agent at home due to inclement weather conditions -Agents are trained in one way by the training department, told something else by their supervisor, and then told to do the same thing in, yet again, a different manner by a third supervisor. -Agents are required to follow guidelines, regardless of call situation, that sometimes lead to the agents being verbally abused by the customer, with no way to defend themselves. -The company enforces "Business Casual" for a call center in which the only people allowed inside, are the employees. -Promises agents regular pay raises based on seniority, in 6 months, following a second round of training, I still had not received the pay raise. -Very strict on "breaks" as being late, even by 1, "ONE", minute creates an "occurrence" which affects your attendance.
