Pros

After you pass a battery of skills tests and sign several dozen forms swearing you're a US citizen and not a criminal, you will be on your way to making money somewhere above the Federal minimum wage. In theory, the position offers some insurance and vacation benefits after you endure some milestone waiting periods to earn them. Management is beleaguered and overworked, but there are some good eggs in the mix.

Cons

Give up your life. It is outsourced and done as much on the cheap as much as possible. Working at Sitel comes with a very restrictive set of conditions. If you use your cell phone in the lockers area, out of sight of anything sensitive you might make a snapshot of, you are subject to having it confiscated. The work environment is like wearing two straitjackets. Lunch break is 30 minutes and there is a line at the microwaves. Don't develop a need to to to the bathroom anytime you're not scheduled for your break. That might be four hours before the end of your shift and fifteen minutes after your meal break. If so, too bad, toughen up. You'll probably find yourself wondering if you can last long enough on the job to become insured, which is three months beyond your training probation period. By the time you work half a year beyond your training probation, you're entitled to a week of vacation, but don't be shocked if they don't permit you to take five scheduled days off in a row. Computer equipment is from the 1990s. Connections to remote networks fail from time to time. Improvise and pretend;after all, when the caller calls back irate because nothing was done, what are the odds they'll get you on the phone again? You won't have a chance to set aside time to catch up afterward, as you can only be off the phone for 30 seconds at a time, and only to enter your notes. On the other hand, you're sent home unpaid for the rest of your shift if call traffic tapers off too much. On the third hand, you're expected to be available around the clock for any amount of overtime work if the company deems it necessary, and you can be fired if you balk. Overall, avoid this place unless it's a life and death matter, and maybe even then.

Pros

Very great medical benefits. Dependents are covered. Free medicines & vitamins are covered as well for dependents.

Cons

A lot of corrupt Operation Managers! Agents are being transferred to another account or department even they passed their metrics. A lot of failing agents are retained. No clear SOP on who's to let go.

Pros

Can't think of any right now.

Cons

The pay at 9.25 an hour is a joke. After 2 weeks my net pay is less then 600. If I was told during the interview that I was going to be in dtv retention, I would have said no thank you. Not worth the stress for such low pay. Cubicles are not assigned, so you sit where there is a free cubicle. You have to use your break time to go to the rest room and god forbid if you are in after call work for too long. A supervisor will shout across the room for you to become available immediately. I am waiting to pay a few bills off and as soon as I have done that I am outta here. Also keep in mind this company is a third party vendor. One of it's biggest clients could pull the plug at any time and the company is toast. I have seen it with another company and that company went under soon after. As soon as I pay some some bills off I am going back to my old job. One other thing, they will not work with you. I had a second job and wanted the company to work with me. The answer was an outright no.
