Sutherland Cheating WAH Employees

Pros

NONE, in light of Sutherland's abusive treatment of WAH employees. Beware, folks, this company doesn't pay WAH employees for time that they are supposed to (under state and federal FLSA law) for work such as reading emails, booting upcomputer, logging into Sutherland programs, etc.

Cons

Tells WAH employees to have Sutherland computer programs opened ONE HALF HOUR BEFORE logging onto the time recording for payroll purposes program. Employees who do that ARE NOT PAID FOR THE 1/2 HOUR A DAY (that's 5 hours of time not paid in a regular 2 week pay period of 5 days a week). Tells new WAH hires they will get two 15-min breaks in a 8 hour day, but then only puts ONE 15 min break on WAH employee's 8 hour schedule! Tells WAH employees that if they have to take a bathroom break during their shift, the employee must deduct minutes taken for the bathroom break from the (1) 15-min break on the employee's schedule (in an 8- hour work day; get real!) Sutherland call center workers must unionize to stop this crap! It's horrible!

Pros

They will hire you. Relevant work experience is not a prerequisite. Have a pulse and pass the simplest of drug screens (swab test) and you will likely be hired. Interviewers are often not trained on hiring methodology. They are always hiring. Even if they managed attrition better, they are always taking on new programs or growing some programs. They hire convicted sex offenders, felons, strippers and drug dealers. Looking for a career change, this is your place.

Cons

Managers are short sighted and cowardly. And usually not too bright. They have account managers without much post high school education.

Pros

Training was intense but VERY beneficial/learned a lot. Work-at-home setup is the most secure/legit I've seen. Got the hang of things very quickly.

Cons

Folks in HR lose your paperwork or don't receive it, constantly! Had to fax something at least twice before the received it. Pay rate wasn't adjusted after training and managers were not on top of getting it corrected. Speaking of managers, communication with managers is HORRIBLE. Can't get anyone on the phone. They don't return emails, and you feel like the only time you hear from them is when it comes to your metrics.
