Pros

-Salary -Benefits -Work from home -Sick leave policy - Learn some interesting technology, get exposed to different programs and techniques that you may not have seen before - The initial remuneration will be very nice

Cons

-Call centre setting/environment -Back to back calls -For example: your shift ends at 5:30pm, you must sill be "open/available" for a new call, even if it's 5:27pm, and if you end the call for like 30minutes, the next day you will not be allowed to leave 30minutes early, thus, you will have extra 30minutes lunch break. So basically you are working MORE than your accumulated hours/shift which is annoying and really wrong, especially if you have plans after work. -Don't expect raise -Training isn't that much a big of help, even on your 3rd week or last week of training, tons of "approval" needed so you can have access to certain tasks or software or websites, they're taking FOREVER to make you have access -Micromanagement -Get ready to be yelled or screamed by customers because this will happen 90% of time, so have some thick skin -Favouritism

Pros

You get a paycheck. Some of the people are nice but don’t trust anyone.

Cons

Exec leadership is awful. Always putting out the positive party line but it is all lies. Products are so far behind competitors. No investment in product or marketing. Senior executive leadership team shuffles around their “good old boy” comrades to new roles instead of retiring them or holding them accountable. The internal politics with everyone back stabbing each other to manage up and keep their jobs. Leadership is just doing what the board chair tells them to do. It is all about self promotion vs doing the job. They like to blame the previous CEO but he has been gone a year and it has only gotten worse. OpenText likes to brand itself as top company to work for , I say STAY AWAY!
