Pros

Opportunity to move up in the company, training is in depth and flexible, great attendance policy that is understanding of "life happens" moments, good benefits, team/family oriented environment, a lot of fun activities planned each month, management that started as regular Agents and worked their way up over time (easy to relate to them, and for them to relate to us), and a wide variety of schedules to choose when hired that remain static throughout your tenure.

Cons

Not necessarily a con, but the campaigns (companies) can change from time to time, so you may end up transferring to different ones, and the policies/procedures for each campaign are fast changing at times. This can be good or bad, depending on whether you like change.

Contradictory company

Pros

Really friendly people. Very basic job so don’t have to think about it much. Room to move up the ranks (but for very little incentives).

Cons

Poor pay rate for the amount of rubbish you get from customers. Management unwilling to take ownership of escalated calls. False advertisement of initial role applied for. Very poor clocking in system, something needs to be changed about this. Very contradictory on the fact they’re not bothered by stats, but in reality they are. Work-life balance is neglected.

Pros

•Lots of overtime - Usually time and a half

Cons

•No support from management at all •Harassment from the “real time analyst” who’s job it is to make sure you are never off the phone. If you are not taking calls 24/7 you are questions beyond belief and sent aggressive emails •Timed toilet breaks (7 minutes a week), if you spend longer you need a doctors note to prove you need the toilet •Cannot take your holiday entitlement as they will not allow it •Manger won’t take calls when a customer asks to speak to them, they hide or point blank refuse and encourage you lie to the customers •Hated by John Lewis staff (you are taking calls from John Lewis customers), JL staff never want to help •Only favourites get promoted to “floor walk” and tell people who have been there longer than them what to do •Extremely high turnover of staff as everyone is not happy, moral is rock bottom •Wave goodbye to your Christmas holidays •Make you work the late shift and get you back in first thing in the morning •Diffcult to find parking •11 backward computer systems that make everything so painfully difficult, this means you spend ages on the phone which means Real Time analysts get annoyed at you! • Vile customers who expect the earth and can speak to you however they want •Left everyday with a headache •Other staff members often fail to resolve a customers problem because they are fed up and demotivated, this means the customer phones up again angry.

Disappointing that your experience at Sitel wasn’t as positive as you probably wanted it to be. The nature of the business, particularly during the busy Christmas period, requires staff to be available for all our customers at this time of year. Some of your points have been noted and where appropriate fed back into our ongoing improvement programme. The current feedback we’ve had is that we are heading in the right direction and the actions that are being implemented are having a positive impact. Thanks for highlighting your concerns and we hope you’re happier in your current role.
