Call Center
Customer Service Associate (Current Employee), Carrollton, TX – April 21, 2013
Pros: stable
Cons: pay
A typical day at Securus various as far as call voulme and customers. The call center is pretty much like other call centers. The co workers are great and friendly and pretty easy to get along with others. The customers can be very rude. Supervisor are unwilling to help. The pay is not enough for the stress level of the job.

Horrible Company

Pros: no pros
Cons: company does not value employees at all.
This company is horrible. They do not value any employee no matter if you are a top csr or bottom its never good enough. They hire several people for temp to hire and never hire them on they lead everyone to believe they want you to convert to a full time employee but in the end they will never hire anyone full time.

life at Securus-
Customer Service Rep (Current Employee), Carrollton, TX – November 4, 2012
Since we set up accts for calls from inmates, and we work closely with law enforcement many of our customers are unaware of this. We take a high volume of calls hourly and daily, around 70+ calls per day and the majority of them are extremely rude and irate the moment you get that call. You must maintain a very calm sense of yourself throughout the – more... call giving the customer the understanding (just by sensing your calmness) that your more than able to take care of their every need before ending their call. There are many in our office that treat the customers very rough, and just want to get through with the dall so that they can hurry and get to the next call, and in doing that they are not truley helping the customre at all, so in the end that same customer will can call back again, and again until she finds someone a little more understanding. This is NOT good customer service and what I learned if I ever is that if I were to stay there an option for me would be to move up into Quality Dept. I would love to go around he listening to calls, and then – less

A company with awesome break and lounging rooms.
Customer Service Representative II (Former Employee), Carrollton, TX – August 23, 2012
A typical work day for me started at 9pm-6amIn an 24 hour call center. As a level II CSR agent I would start off by working chats, emails, tickets, and sorting postal mail for the back office team. If myself and the other overnight level II agents finished our work we would log in and take calls from friends and families of inmates from prisons, jails, – more... and juvenile facilities that we provide phone service to. Customers would call to inquire about the balance on their account, if there had been any call attempts for the day, to create a new account and add funds, to inquire why calls are not coming through to their phone, etc

I learned a lot about the phone service that companies like Securus and Global Tel link provide for correctional facilities. I learned a lot about policy and procedures regarding outgoing calls from the facilities.

When I first started we had an awesome management team that made life working for Securus absolutely amazing, but the old call center manager moved on and the new director brought strict rules with all new policies that seemed unecessary, but it was the new policy of the company and we all adapted.

Since I worked overnight there were only 12 associates that I saw frequently and we all became a family.

There wasn't anything I found particularly hard about my job.

The most enjoyable part of my job was incentives and company holidays. Every month Securus would have contest which ranged anywhere from best QA score, best stats on calls, survey grades from customer's experience, etc and the top 4 would win either cash money, or gift cards along with personal certificates. Company holidays were always catered from really nice resturants. – less

Fast paste work feild
Telemarketing (Former Employee), Portland, OR – May 31, 2012
Pros: fun enviornment
Cons: tough quota to make
Then enviornment was very positive and upbeat for the co workers, some managers were rude, self centered. I liked the overall flow of the place. The hardest part of the job was meeting the quota every week, you had to set at least 2 appotnements by 2:30, by selling debit & credit processors. If you did not meet the quota by that time period you would – more... get sent home and if it continued to happend you'd be suspended and eventually fired. The easiest part would be sitting down making calls all day. – less
