Pros

There are only two good things about working at Sitel. They are the employer paid benefits and you're making slightly more than minimum wage.

Cons

Everyone from corporate management down to floor supervisors gossip, listen to gossip and base their reviews and disciplanery measures on gossip. For example if one of your fellow emploees don't like you and spreads a rumour about you and someone in management hears the rumour you can bet your days as an employee are numbered, they will fire you based on rumours and hearsay. It's a very toxic work environment. Don't even think about getting sick and missing work as you will receive a written warning about your attendance.

Pros

Sitel is a large company with its major shareholder being one of the largest corporations in Canada. This gives the company stability as the sharholder, Onex Corp, has an excellent track record for knowing how to manage companies. Sitel has also done well to attract Fortune 500 Companies, such as the client I work for, and as long as everyone does their job, the client is sure to stay. I like using my technical abilities and dealing almost entirely with business clients, Sitel has done well to attract a client that has almost entirely business customers that call this center for technical support.

Cons

The middle management are more interested in crunching numbers and chasing KPI's rather than finding out what the customer needs. They use the numbers to "cook the books" on individual employees so that "favourite employees", which are few, are guaranteed raises and promotions while the majority are guaranteed almost no chance for additional compensation and/or movement in the company. More than a few middle managers are incompetent and do next to nothing while making their front line people do their jobs for them all while taking the credit for the great things that happen and then point the finger at the employees when the client is "supposedly" not happy with performance. The company has strict rules about bullying and yet the middle managers subtely bully employees all the time and nothing can be done about it unless an employee wants to quit or risk being fired for standing up for themselves and what is right. The management are not interested in employee feedback. They will arrange "summits" and then walk away and ignore everything said by the staff. The biggest downside is going to paid training, the seminars are shortened by at least 50% of the allocated time and employees are then expected to go back to production work while they are being paid for training. Finally, the company does not provide any retirement support.

Pros

Sitel gives everyone a chance to apply themselves. You do not have to have any experience to work there. The company trains you for ample time which allows you to learn everything you need to know. Sitel allows anyone to apply for any open position available. The company gives one a raise when they have worked there for 6 months. I think Sitel is a company where one can grow and excel to a higher position over the years. This company helps you with any other training that you might need. They work with you if you have appointments to go to during work hours.

Cons

Sitel has too many people working their that do not want to be their. Team leaders are at work to help employees but act like they do not want to be there. They have a shift bid, that means if your performance is not up to par you will get a shift that you cannot work. If you get a shift that you cannot work the company says they will take it that you quit. I do not think that is right. If you cannot work a shift but need your job they should help you in some sort of way.
