Pros

Those with the drive to succeed are handsomely rewarded for their efforts. Lots of recognition and great managers in the call center environment which led to opportunities in other parts of the company. Very competitive compensation package. Great brand.

Cons

No iPhone (yet!) on CDMA network! ;) Call center work isn't for everybody. It's a great starting point to get your foot inside a very good company and move up after paying your dues (1 year) meeting and exceeding KPIs (metrics/stats).

Pros

Probably the only big pro- the people around you. Young and fun bunch to have around you. Benefits are good, though the usual round of cuts have been flowing through the system. Work life balance.

Cons

Lack of career growth. Opportunities are non existent at middle management level. Arbit policies e.g span of control further limit the growth oppty Overall engagements levels are at nadir. Salary freeze, layoffs, Incentives cut have really impacted morale and engagement at program manager/specialist level. Manager quality is really suspect. I would guess only 50% of the managers are really worth their positions. Once the market situation on employment improves, i suspect that attrition rates will increase significantly.

Pros

Their benefits are good, comparing with Bell Canada and Rogers. Salary is Ok to work with. I can not recall other Pros except above.

Cons

No enough space for employees. Do not recognize employees performance, many Sr. guys are in fact only have enough skills to do Junior jobs, but many Jr. guys actually can not Sr. jobs.
