Pros

Ambiente di lavoro molto giovanile, si fa amicizia con i (pochi) colleghi simpatici con cui ci si riesce a vedere fuori da lavoro.

Cons

- Ambiente di lavoro tra i più tossici che abbia mai frequentato, un livello elevatissimo di passivo aggressività da parte dei capi e tra colleghi stessi. (un micro management pazzesco) - Ci sono ritmi di vendita irrealistici e ti ritrovi a fine giornata prosciugato dal tuo lavoro di call center. - I capi da Milano non fanno altro che incentivare la competitività tra colleghi e ad osannare chi riesce a vendere più degli altri. Senza contare che i clienti "buoni" arrivano solo a loro, mentre da Roma in giù solo quelli non interessati. - i colleghi si "rubano" a vicenda i clienti per accaparrarsi più vendite e omettono dettagli importanti ai genitori di ragazzini minorenni, pur di fargli acquistare un pacchetto di vacanza studio - Team leader e colleghi che si sparlano tra loro su Teams e non hanno nemmeno il coraggio di dirti le cose in faccia E mi sono anche contenut* Dopo qualche mese sono scappat*, fidatevi, non ne vale la pena, sono degli squali.

Pros

Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

Cons

Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
