Pros

- The Team Managers are easily accessible and friendly, helpful and patient - Colleagues who understand your pain from working at this diabolical company

Cons

I've never written one of these before, so take that as having enough passion to try and help someone avoid being treated so badly - Company will deduct pay from you, then refuse to answer why - They will accept a holiday request from you, then when you've logged off, file it as VTO (Voluntary Time Off), meaning you don't get paid - They will fire you with no warning or notice - I know several people who were - They will give VTO or holiday when the calls are at their busiest, so they can show off statistics of how busy their agents are - The higher ups couldn't care less about your mental wellbeing. The team managers are VERY understanding, but higher up than that? Nah. - The team managers are regularly demoted when they've been doing excellent jobs, and nobody knows why - In short, all criticism is ignored There's loads of stuff wrong with the company, but the long and short of it is they do not care about you. You are a number. I was with Teleperformance before and they made you feel like you were cared about. HGS are ran by heartless morons. And, just for reference, I wasn't let go. I left and was told I could return any time as I was a "good agent, and we hate letting good agents go"
