Pros

Nice co-workers (the CS agents) from all around the world. Awesome looking buildings, awesome setting (Lisbon). Cheap meals. Some company apartments are nice. When the day is over, you can really leave work behind

Cons

They have never arranged any sports or language courses they promise for all applicants, and they never will. They just say that the courses are full, but that is just a lie. They tell you that a few hundred euros is enough to live till first payday. Do not believe that. Reserve at least 800€ worth of cash with you, just in case.. When signing contracts, you do not get a translated contract but one in Portuguese. The salary offered in the initial discussions and the salary in contract do not match either. The English transcript they offer is lacking and clearly on purpose. You have to work even if the AC fails and all the water machines are out of water. Can be potentially dangerous for people with heart defects. Bring your own water each day, just in case. And some noseplugs in case the AC fails. The company toilets are filthy and the cleaners could care less. You do not get decent instructions or decent training. The training materials are mostly outdated and full of crap. Be prepared that nothing happens in a timely fashion on the company side. You, however, are expected to always be on time. The company automated working hours report is a fabrication to avoid paying presence bonuses. You get false absences and the company does not have to pay, it is word against word. Some company apartments are really horrid.

Pros

My group of supervisors and our manager work really well together. The upside of this company is the ability to work from home and the support you are given is better than most places I have worked.

Cons

this can only be said for my project as we do not always have a clear path of what the upper management is looking for us to do

Pros

For the most part, I have an open availability. I do however, like not having to work on Sundays. Some campains allow for a 1 hour lunch break. The hiring process was fairly easy. Your equipment is provided. There is opportunity for advancement. They are helpful when it comes to license renewal. Calls are back to back which for me seems to make time go faster. Flexibly as to when you want to take your lunch break. You have to opportunity to assist people without having to feel it was rushed. Off all major holidays.

Cons

Rushed training that may leave some questions unanswered. I feel like I had to figure things out on my own. Getting the assistance you need to help a client took longer than it should, especially when the client is on on hold, waiting for your response. At times some trainers seem to be unprepared for the roll they have taken. Calls are frequently monitored. Not much time between calls. It can take too long to transition from on campain to the next after the project has ended.
