Pros

1/ Mostly liked the Team Managers 2/ They are quite good about "promoting from within," thougn I would call those paths pretty limited for anything above the Team Manager level.

Cons

1/ The company is CHEAP!!! 2/ The managment are kind of control freaks and they micro-manage as they are worried about keeping the contract with the client as they are a 3rd party cal centre. 3/ They will write people up for pretty much anything, including stuff that is, in the grand scheme of things, B.S. (speaking from 20 years experience working directly for a major carrier + further experience prior to that). Example: I was wrtitten up for disconnecting a call which was clearly a pre-recorded prank tape (after it repeated the same, rather "non-sequitirish" dialogue string 3x it was pretty obvious), which was specifically designed to waste Customer Service people's time. I mean REALLY? ...Oh, and then, afte my facility closed up, when, during the next tax season, I atempted to obtain my T-4, the main company contact number, posted on their website, was NOT IN SERVICE! When I finally DID manage to get hold of somebody, it then took 3 MONTHS for them to get back to me about the T-4, TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!

Pros

The initial trainer was amazing, and the first month was awesome. We were given free gift cards for completing training.

Cons

Plumeted downhill after the 1st month. Lack of help, felt like I was 'thrown to the wolves' We were expected to do things that we weren't trained how to do HR refused to pay me my Vacation pay following termination. They don't believe you when you say you are ill, send you info for your dr to fill out within a day. If you can't get to see your dr, you're terminated!
