Startek
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Collinsville, VA – May 16, 2013
Pros: they would work around schooling
Cons: laid off.
It was an okay place to work at, the supervisors had their favorites that got more "off" phone time, but i loved working with the customers and my Coworkers, I have learned a lot about customer care from startek.

Stressful but rewarding
Operations Supervisor II (Former Employee), Collinsville, VA – May 13, 2013
Pros: wonderful environment
Cons: short breaks
I didnt really like working for Startek in the beginning but it was only because of the schedule I had to start out with. As time progressed I was promoted right up the ladder because of my ability to comprehend and handle situations in a timely and organized manner. I worked with some fantastic people whom I will never forget. i have learned that everything – more... happens for a reason and when one door closes its for another to open. – less

Bait and Switch
Outbound Sales Rep (Former Employee), Greeley, CO – April 16, 2013
When I first applied with this company they hired me for inbound customer service. After i moved into a new place and went to my first day, I was told the job i was hired for was no longer available. I can however apply for a job for Outbound sales. We were told it would be warm calls, the customers would be expecting the calls. When we were finally – more... put on the production floor, we quickly found out this was not the truth either. – less

Not for most people
Customer Care representitive (Current Employee), Lynchburg Va – April 2, 2013
Pros: benefits for making sales
Cons: lack of communication and training
Just recently started working there and can already tell that there is an extremely lack of communication. Go through 4 weeks of classroom training only to get out on the floor and find that very little was applicable to the job. The team leads and supervisors dont really care about anything but the sales and not actually fixing the customers problems. – more... Several times a day I would come across something that I didnt know anything about so I would ask a question about and there solution would be to transfer or make it up. Also when attempting to make a sale, it was such a huge task to get the transaction completed that the customer would just get annoyed and hang up. Upside is that the day goes by quickly and there are plenty of opportunities to move up with such a high turn over rate. – less

The company would treat their employees with respect,
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Collinsville, VA – March 25, 2013
Pros: respect, uptraining, able walk around to do your job if needed.
Cons: the way the client would change things to make it harder on employees to meet goals, and scores. the best reps had it hard in the end.
I learned that no matter what when working in a call center you had to hold your temper and treat people the way you want to be treated.
The management was always doing things for the employees, such as dinners,fun days.
I got to travel to different states to help new call centers and really enjoyed meeting and working with people from different states – more... and countries. I also went to Manila Philippines to work there for 2 months. – less

It was a productive and an enjoyable workplace
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Mansfield, OH – March 23, 2013
Pros: supervisors, lunch, bonuses, rewards for achievements
Cons: point system
For a typical day at work was taking phones calls for AT&T wireless customers, and resolving any concern they may have about their account. I learned that even though you try your best to resolve any situation that the customer might have there will always be a situation that you are unable to resolve due to company policies, and you try to make it – more... right with the customer that way they stay with the company. The people that I worked with were wonderful. They would try to help with any questions that I might have had when it came to helping a customer especially if I did not know how to go about searching for what they need. The hardest part of the job was knowing that I could not calm every one down if they were upset, and sometimes they would want to speak to someone above me even though they could not possibly help them. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the customers cause I got to learn a lot from them, and sometimes I would get a call from a customer that would talk to me while I was talking to them as I searched for their problem and that took a lot of stress off of me, because they were calm, and not to much in a hurry. – less

somewhat productive job
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Lynchburg, VA – March 21, 2013
not really much to say about this job. There was always different tasks to complete where you didn't feel comfortable or trained well enough to complete. The management didn't really work well its employees on a regular basis just on a some time basis.
