Customer Advocate for Call Center

Pros

Great pay/ vacation hours/ benefits. A lot of fun scheduled events most of the time. Also has a lot of great choices for hours if you have tenure at the center.

Cons

Customers calling in can be extremely angry, irate and rude. Usually due to a confusing bill, a policy they don't understand, or from a screw up at a store or most always an authorized retail location. Management tries to teach you how to handle them by 'discovering' what the overlaying issue is, but a lot of times it just further frustrates the customer. I knew people on my team that had to get doctors notes for LOAs (Leave of absence) due to the stress that comes with being berated all the time. You will also run into a lot of weirdos calling in.

Pros

- Good Work environment (depends on which store) - discount on Verizon Bill

Cons

-Change of commission structure has made it more and more difficult for good reps to make money they used to make years back which is resulting in losing those good reps with integrity - Making impossible to make money - Have to deal with too BS from customers on daily, and no longer worth it with commission structure changing - Ridiculous high quota to ensure no one makes a lot of money - Layoffs have become almost a yearly thing -We are just a number for the most part.

Pros

Pay, benefits, consistent hours, and dicounts.

Cons

Very corporate and have to put up with a lot of unnecessary corporate world issues. Management is inconsistent. Some managers are terrible without consequence. Some are rude and demeaning. But you get that everywhere. The call center is very unprofessional and filled with drama.
