Pros

Good benefits, fast paperwork, recognition for sales goals. Starts off as "team friendly environment"

Cons

This is not a CSR position at the San Marcos, TX location. You will handle billing inquiries and you are required to make sales pitches on EVERY call. You are expected to keep calls to 10 mins or less. Most calls are confrontational in nature, verbally abusive and degrading. Supervisors listen in on calls, send IM's over your screens during your calls with sales instructions and questions and then personally critique your sales performance almost hourly and share it with the entire floor. High pressure sales push .... all day, every day. You could get tied up trying to help a customer with their services for up to 40 mins and still be expected to sell them something more and get scolded for your handle time. Point system for infractions is one way only, no reductions, no credits, no partials. If your late, it's the same negative infraction as being absent. A "lose/lose" environment. So take the day and the black mark. Ongoing 30% turnover rate, mandatory overtime, 30 min. lunch, late days, early mornings, blackout days...etc.etc. Not a good call center for a "CSR" job.

Pros

Centurylink has one of the most robust product offerings in the marketplace. From network solutions to application solutions.

Cons

Pretty toxic work environment. No one takes responsibility for anything, only places blame when things don't go right. Leadership is not very dynamic, they are only there to put together reports.
