Pros

There are no good reasons to work from home with Sitel

Cons

Where does one begin? When you have your orientation you are told you earn PTO which is paid time off, however in order to use your PTO you MUST give at least a 2 week notice. Oh in which they will DENY your request to take time off. IF you get sick and call in to use PTO time, you get a BS occurence. I guess they do NOT know the meaning of PTO and how it is used. You are lied to about almost everything! CHECK your paycheck stubs to make sure they are taking out federal and state taxes, afterall since you are an employee of Sitel, it is THEIR responsibility to do this. Here is a REALITY check IF you have WAH employees, MAYBE you should consider having the coaches, trainers, etc. work from home!!! Your coaches on AAA do not even know what hole is what and for what it is for! This also goes for the lousy trainers on AAA. I know more then they do! As for your SME's on AAA - they should NEVER been thrown back on the phones like the CR's....ohhh but wait they were told, "Let the CR's figure out what to do NOT our problem." A SME is a subject matter expert NOT a call receiver! The CR's HANG for help because the coaches do not know crap....and the SME's can not help because they are on calls like everyone else. NEWS FLASH - PUT the coaches on the phones.....that would be a disaster! I would never suggest anyone be a WAH for Sitel. We work from HOME! QUIT trying to manage my bathroom breaks! Hear is a clue - a break means to get away from your work environment NOT soley to use the bathroom! We can not control our body functions, nature calls it calls! Do not have SOD call my phone and tell me to get back on when I have to go to the bathroom. I am sure anyone working at the brick and mortar can go to the bathroom anytime they choose. Hear is some FREE ADVICE to Sitel - if you LET people CHOOSE their schedule on a rollout you would NOT have to worry about not having enough CR's taking calls! QUIT trying to tell WAH employee's it is mandatory to work OT especially when they are part-time because guess what BRAINIACS??? IT is NOT OT as a part-timer because you do NOT get OT pay! BE WEARY of becoming an agent with Sitel - most people are miserable!! You coaches need to understand you can NOT threaten WAH agents....Keep that in mind! NO ADVANCEMENT if you get hired on for AAA NCNU - once there you are STUCK there as a CR. I could go on and on here.....I have better things to do, TRUST me BE CAREFUL!

Pros

Some level of job security. You know exactly what you're doing because it's a call center. Different client projects that you could apply to be part of. Located in Orem by the mall. Decent pay ($25 an hour... for now).

Cons

You can't have anything on the call floor depending on the client (I support Intuit, so there are no phones, paper, pencils, books... nothing). The benefits are atrocious. PTO doesn't start until after 6 months. Company politics and favorites exist here. I'd say about 30% of calls get transferred to us from other departments (Payroll, Payments, Desktop, Saves, Sales, pretty much everyone) that should not have been transferred and could have been solved without us. They're going to hire more account resolution specialists soon after so many agents left, and they're starting their pay at $20 an hour.... so just think about what means for us. You get one occurrence per day you are absent even if you call in sick. I think 10 is the limit.
