Compare SYKES vs OneSupport

Pros

fun environment, made friends, great training provided, i got promoted to supervisor of the floor within two years even though i never had any call center experience before i came to sykes. Sykes is... not for some people but it is for people who put the work in - people who do this will really enjoy their time working for sykes

Cons

like any call center it can be stresssful at times and busy but once the day is over you leave all that behind in work.

Pros

You can work from home Can easily advance with moderate amount of effort May get assigned to an easy contract/position (I believe one department worked for a state's Fish and Wildlife department)... Some contracts award bonuses based on performance Sometimes you talk to nice people on the phones

Cons

May get assigned to a difficult contract (Customer service and tech support for a major ISP. Mine was Frontier communications) Completely inadequate training (I was trained by Frontier employees and... I'm not confident they ever worked phones.) High stress Constantly changing standards and expectations Cannot defend yourself against abusive customers unless its sexual harassment. Was once screamed at by a customer for over an hour and not allowed to hang up.
