As a call centre, the day-to-day activity doesn't vary much for those on the lowest tier. You come in, find a desk, set up your station with the required programs for your job, and you take calls; there isn't much to it.
What I believe makes a good call centre is the morale in the building. I've been places where you can tell that people have given
– more... up, but I found my Netflix crew to be energetic and fun to be around; which certainly helped make the day go by smoothly.
I enjoyed my time on the Netflix project, it is an interesting service, one of it's kind here in Canada and growing quickly. Though our main focus was the Canadian clients, in my time there I took calls from US citizens as well as Latin America when they first branched out.
You really need to able to grow and change as the company does. It was a fledgling when it first came to Canada, it was the first time Netflix had gone to another country and we had to learn with them. There was the good and the bad, but it really helps you learn to roll with the punches.
Of course this review is specific to the project I was on, as it was my only experience with this company. – less

I never worked for netflix but went in for a interview and got to sit in and listen to the calls. The particular person who i was sitting with had a customer who was having a problem with the account being billed and would not get off the phone and wanted to speak with the manager. The manager refused to do so because he was wanting to listen to his music and play a game on this computer. He told the employee to just tell the customer a credit would be placed on their account just to get them off the phone and the proceed to tell the employee not to place one and put in the notes did not offer credit. I come from a strong background of management and was looking for a job when i was laid off. Glad they told me i was to over qualified for the job.

Working for 24-7 is the worst job I have ever had. You are treated badly everyday. Management never says anything good about anyone. The employees that are in management , have no idea what they are doing. Since working there the turn over rate is probably 75%. If the job is so good, them why do people keep leaving?
