Pros

Solvent - not about to go out of business. this is a $1 Billion company with extensive resources al around the world so there is sufficient financial clout to fund operations. If you are interested in the call center industry, TeleTech has many operating units. The company is always looking for call center operations people so there are often jobs opening up, many in the international arena. If you like to travel, there are opportunities to work in international areas such as Argentina, Brazil, Philippines, Malaysia, India, Korea and Australia. The company is opening operations in South Africa as well.

Cons

Ongoing layoffs and firing regardless of the company's financial position. People are laid off for no particular reason at least once a month, which makes for a very uncertain working environment. You literally do not know if you'll have a job from week to week. That's one of the reasons the company always has vacancies - they lay people off and then realize they haven't enough employees to handle daily tasks. The company also does not have a good work/life balance. People routinely work very long hours, then find others in their department are laid off and they end up working even more.

Pros

The opportunity to work remote is the only pro.

Cons

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience here was frustrating enough that I feel it’s important to share for others considering employment. The company suffers from major disorganization and a lack of consistent policies. Expectations frequently changed without clear communication, making it nearly impossible to feel confident in your performance or job security. Metrics were unrealistic and difficult to achieve, especially given how understaffed the team was. Instead of addressing staffing issues, the pressure was pushed onto employees. Compensation does not match the workload or expectations. Employees are underpaid for the level of performance demanded, and benefits are disappointing. One of the biggest concerns is that earned PTO, vacation time, and sick time are not paid out, which feels unfair and misleading. Management practices were also questionable. Employees were required to be on camera, which felt excessive and unnecessary for the type of work being performed. Overall, there was a lack of trust and professionalism in how employees were treated. This role could have been much better with proper organization, fair policies, and realistic expectations, but unfortunately, it fell far short.
