Pros

Great work environment, The job teaches you tenacity. You will learn how to converse in real time conference calls, be an excellent team leader, and an excellent team player.

Cons

There is never a pay raise. I've worked there for 3 yrs in management and have never had a pay raise. Also your job is threatened on daily basis because Alorica is a contracted job so if the company pulls out of the business then there wil be no jobs.

Pros

Paid training, friendly PALs (supervisors), potential to earn up to $9.00/hr if on the phone nonstop, wages are subsidized in order to meet minimum wage, unlike many other WAH companies who ONLY pay you by the minute of talk time. Ability to trade hours via the scheduling website, even at the last minute (for example, it's 3:45 and you have something come up. You can post your 4:00-5:30 shift for trade on the site, and head out the door at 4:00).

Cons

Minimum wage, halfway IMPOSSIBLE to get hours, have to keep refreshing the schedule page in hopes that hours will become available, when you should/could be enjoying your off time. They are unpredictable when making hours available for the week, and some lucky people happen to be on when they're made available and snatch up all the hours, even ones they don't want, then they make them available at the last minute in half-hour increments at their leisure. This isn't fair at all to everyone else. You're forced to stick to a fake-sounding script, including multiple upsells per product, and are randomly monitored. Someone will call in to buy sunglasses and you're trying to talk them into a timeshare near Disney World. The only support available during calls is chat support, which is very slow to respond.

Pros

The only thing positive is the fact I no longer work for the pathetic company. I quit shortly after West was acquired.

Cons

Alorica's employee turnover rate is 3-4 times the industry average. California executive leadership and de-centralized business work flows is incompetent beyond belief. The company public relations to employees is laughable. Alorica leadership actually advertised to employees the national average 401(k) match was 4% and they were going to increase their match to 2.5% from 2%. Former West employees were getting 7% match. Executive leadership indicate they want best practices, best employees, and best results; however, they are intimidated by more experienced, best practice, quality employees who deliver results. Poor leadership, poor employee moral, poor compensation and benefits below market for non-executive employees, and poor client service define the culture of Alorica.
