Pros

Really nice and friendly co-workers, management is OK as well. Real possibilities of promotion not only for Irish workers.

Cons

Salary is kind of low, just little bit over minimum wage (between £14.000 and £15.500 for agents depending on the contract you work for). They're offering lots of possibilities of growth and promotion, more than they actually have, creating also frustration among the agents. Upper management seems to take random decisions all the time, for example changing way of paying bonus (if any at all) every other month. I was doing "technical support" for Microsoft, which was more some kind of discouraging customer support. We didn't even get the necessary permission from Microsoft, to have installed all the programs we actually supported. Ridiculous.

Pros

A lot of great people with tremendous learning opportunities. My program is 24x7 so if willing to work nights and weekends, you can earn a higher rate of pay. Never boring and a lot to learn which works well for me!

Cons

Things can be very fast paced. Some people feel overwhelmed because there is a lot to learn.

Pros

Paid training Always hiring Occasional snacks Some managers are cool

Cons

Lie about base pay and pay structure Most bonus pay is tied to surveys so things outside of your control will screw you. (i.e. customer asking for something your not allowed to do so they rate you badly on the survey.) Office politics and some terrible managers that will go out of their way to get you in trouble.(i.e. You had a technical issue during a call and had to disconnect[not uncommon thing] and they'll bring it up with upper management acting like you hung up for no reason. Schedule will change constantly and often little notice. -Mandatory hour cuts and overtime within 2 weeks of each other -Schedule can shift from M-F 8 to 5 to Thursday to Monday 1 to 10. HR will lead you on about opportunities in other departments but they never actually open for you.
