A lesson well-learned
CSR - specialized short-term campaign (Former Employee), Painted Post, NY –
Pros: casual dress code;
Cons: inadequate fresh air supply in production room, was terminated while on medical leave
I worked as a Sitel-CSR for a campaign involving Mom-and-Pop businesses that offer payment for goods/services with credit cards as well as cash. The HR department was a joke, having hired almost 100 bodies by giving them erroneous information about the job! Most of my co-workers were obviously hired because they had a heartbeat and could type the 20 – more...  wpm required to be considered for the position. Management let on they were concerned about the employees but it became clear they were more concerned about saving their own necks. The hardest part of the job was attempting to provide good quality customer service while given a per call timeline (stats). I learned that quality customer service sometimes takes longer than management's goals, but in the end, knowing the customer was happy with the service I provided justified the time I spent on each call. It is my opinion the problems existing in this Sitel call center are related to HR inadequacies, trainers who are immature and unknowledable, and unreasonable expectations of management. Turnover rate is atrocious but it doesn't have to be. – less

Poor Management. The worst place to work for.
Customer Service representative (Former Employee), Albuquerque, NM –
Pros: easy to get hired
Cons: high turn over rate, unprofessional supervisors, disconnected managers, lazy hr department.
The work is easy. The people you work for are not easy to deal with. The management is supposed to have an open door policy however, if you speak out against one of your supervisors you will then be under a close investigation not them. Co-workers are just trying to get by but are trying to get out. The hardest part of the job is trying to get a new – more...  one after you leave. They make it nearly impossible with the references they provide. The most enjoyable part of the job was never going back. – less

Decent workplace with cubicles
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee), Augusta, Ga –
Pros: vendors
Cons: short breaks, sharing cubicles, not enough space
I answer in bound calls from Verizon Wireless prepaid customers from 12pm to 8;30 pm. I have a 30 minute lunch and 2 15 minute breaks. I learn different things almost everyday. The hardest part of the job would have to be nothing. Its actually a easy job. You just have to have the right mind and much patience. I do enjoy sitting and talking with my – more...  co-workers and when I get a "10" and a "Yes" on a survey that makes it very enjoyable because Ik now I solved that customers issue. – less

The worst job I ever had
Level I Technician (Current Employee), Starkville, MS –
Sitel is a company w/ horrible mgmt, no culture or values, and they don't show any appreciation or common respect for their employees. If you can avoid it, please don't put yourself through the daily headache of working here. You will surely regret it. P.S. The pay isn't nearly compensation for your job duties.

Typical call center experience
Licensed Insurance CSR (Former Employee), Oak Ridge, TN –
Pros: stable pay, flexible schedule, benefits
Cons: dirty and uncomfortable work environment
Overall the experience was pretty typical for a call center. Clock in and take calls until end of shift with 2 fifteen minute paid breaks and a 30 minute lunch break. I didn't have any personal issues with management, but it was lacking in a few minor areas. They were very willing to work with my school schedule which I greatly appreciated.

The only – more...  real downside that was specific to the company itself was the work environment. It was overcrowded which often lead to high amounts of noise and body heat. This also lead to some frustrating parking issues. The work spaces were uncomfortable with broken equipment and were often very dirty. – less

Bends every rule possible to get rid of some of the most amaxing staff
Customer Service (Former Employee), St. Catherines,ON –
Pros: co-workers
Cons: bending and breaking the laws of canada.
Almost impossible job time framelines for workers. Rude and do not live by the rules set out for employees. There are also some amazing managers but they have to live by the rules of the Senior Management too.

Admitted to me that they "played with my stats" to my disadvantage.

No consideration for shifts for people with home committments, poor bus – more...  transportation in St. Catharines/Thorld system and most of the employees rely on this system.

Long periods of time without raises due to Sitel financial problems.

Every absence must be covered by physicians notes and that is costly and in most cases totally unnessary.

Same rules do not apply to all workers.

Refused health care benefits to employees for beibg overweight but that does not enclude Managers.

UNACCEPTALBE WORK QUOTAS AND TIMELINES.

DO NOT honour the physical and mental guidelines as laid out for seniors, people with overweight health issues that are physical disabilities (NOT OBESITY) and in many cases people with physical disabilities.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. – less

Professional and friendly workplace
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Longview, TX –
Pros: managers worked to help csrs be successful
Cons: more technical training was sometimes needed.
The most enjoyable working to assist customers in solving their problems. There were close knit teams with good team managers. Team managers and operations managers were good about helping CSRs to meet their goals. I learned a great deal about effective teamwork at Sitel. Most co-workers were good to work with, and some were outstanding. The hardest – more...  part of the job was dealing with some of the more difficult technical issues. – less

Customer Service Rep/Quality Assurance Specialist (Former Employee), Memphis, TN –
Pros: great schedules, they worked with your school schedule
Cons: third party company based on contracted work, job security not good
My typical day at work involved answering patients and physicians questions regarding medications that were covered/not covered by WellCare Insurance. I learned how insurance companies operate as far as coverage of medications, formularies, etc. Management was very encouraging and nursed my desire to advance within the company. This led to me being – more...  promoted from a Customer Service Representative to a Quality Lead Rep – less
