Pros

- The people that I have worked with here are great - Managers are eager and committed to help you learn - Training period is quite fun if you have a good group - Free Sky package with the job - Great way to build confidence with speaking and in sales.

Cons

- The business structure is terrible, misinformation is highly common throughout the ranks. - Working for Sky in the Prospects department is very intense and extremely draining - Hours are from 10am - 6:30pm / 11:30pm - 8:00pm - The software that is used to make calls is extremely intrusive, every possible action on this system is measured and made note of onto a database that is sent to your managers for inspection. - I was told by a manager during training that if we were 1 minute late from our breaks or lunch that we would be docked at least 15 minutes pay, which I then found out from another manager that it wasn't true... again, common misinformation. - Firstsource is only the third party to their client Sky to help them with getting new customers... but Sky is absolutely unethical, misleading and overpriced, I actually felt guilty for selling people sky packages for how much the company increase their prices to. - The job was advertised as 23K a year, was actually 19K - they are constantly praising the fact you can make a killing with bonuses but you have to graft to make the amount that the job is advertised for. - Have had issues with pay while at this job.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience working as a phone agent for our outsourcing company. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed working with your colleagues and found the training period helpful for developing your sales and communication skills. However, we regret that you encountered some challenges with the business structure, misinformation, and the intensity of the role. We strive to deliver high-quality customer service on behalf of our clients, and we recognize that this can be a demanding and fast-paced environment. We apologize if you experienced any inconsistencies in the messages you received from management or if you encountered issues with pay or work-life balance. We take your feedback seriously and continually review our policies and procedures to ensure they are fair, transparent, and supportive of our employees.

Pros

Growth Opportunities: FirstSource Solutions is a company that invests in the professional development of its employees. As a Learning and Development Consultant, I had access to various training programs and resources to enhance my skills and knowledge. The company encourages career growth and provides opportunities for internal promotions. Work-Life Balance: The company values work-life balance and generally maintains reasonable working hours. This provides a good environment for maintaining personal life and commitments alongside work. Supportive Team: I had the privilege of working with a supportive and collaborative team. Colleagues were always willing to assist and share knowledge, making it a conducive environment for personal and professional growth.

Cons

Low Compensation: The biggest downside during my time at FirstSource was the inadequate compensation. The pay for Learning and Development Consultants is below industry standards. This can be a significant drawback, especially if you have substantial financial commitments. Limited Benefits: The company's benefits package is somewhat lacking, with fewer perks compared to some of its competitors. This includes healthcare benefits and other employee perks. Resource Constraints: The company could benefit from investing in more resources for its learning and development initiatives. At times, t here were limitations in terms of tools and technology, which hindered our ability to provide the best services. In conclusion, FirstSource Solutions is a decent company to work for if you're looking for growth opportunities and a good work-life balance. However, the subpar compensation may be a significant concern for those seeking a competitive salary. While the company has its pros, there are some improvements needed to make it a more attractive option for professionals in the field of Learning and Development.
