Call Center Side Effects

[wallace]

Lahat naman ng work may pros and cons, heres mine since i worked sa CC before.

 

 

Pros: 1. Mataas ang sweldo for newly grad or even under grad

2. Ok ang benefits like medical kasi extended sa immediate family mo

3. OT pay

4. Magaka accent ka at mahahasa ka sa EOP nila

5. Masasanay ka sigawan pero deadma lang since hindi mo naman kaharap

6. Matutoto kang uminom 7am

7. Dami chicks

Cons:

1. Sira ang body clock mo

2. Magkakasakit ka in the future na hindi mo iniexpect dahil sa puyat

3. Anxiety sabi nung doctor sa medical city nung nagpacheck up ako kadalasan sakit ng CC agents

4. Mawawalan ka ng night life lalo na kapag may pasok ka ng friday and saturday

5. Abnormal na buhay mo

6. Kahit maging OM ka pa di mo madadala yung title kapag lumipat ka ng industry

7. Nakasalamin ka kahit umuulan

 

RIGHT YOU ARE BRO. Long term effect sakin......HYPERTENSION

Practical answers will do.

 

1. Because I think this is quite the easiest way for me get a job and earn some money than waiting for another job on my field.

2. I just tried my luck if your company will hire me.

3. As long as I can (pang bobola would be 3 to 5 years)

4. I can be the best always. (always think of something that will impress the interviewer kahit na hindi ka ganon kagalingan daanin mo sa bola na sa tingin mo eg kaya mo panindigan)

I wanna say hi to all the CC Folks out there!...what I like about the call center industry is how they usually pay their employees...I would think that our company might have the lowest pay in the industry but it is still better than the usual bank/office job...we don't need to go to the office in a long sleeves shirt..simple business casual would do...we even have dress down days for weekends,,holidays and some other special occations...the bad thing is people look down on what we do...they would always sa that.."nakakabobo un trabaho niyo noh?"..I don't always mind them because they don't really know what we are doing..they think that it is just so simple we would just need to talk with customers...I would just tell them to take my seat just for 1 day...see if he/she can withstand the pressure...if they can then good...if not..then they don't have the right to say bad things to us...another 1 is our body..one of our TL's just died because of pneumonia recently...it really destroys your body..,despite that he needs to travel all the way to the Imus Cavite everyday..being awake when almost all the people are at home resting...and sleeping all day when we get home...just be careful guys...take care of yourselves... :headsetsmiley:

Call Center Agent's Top 10 Diseases : :thumbsdownsmiley:

 

1. Lung cancer (habitual smoking)

2. Bone fracture (long hours of sitting)

3. Lock jaw (excessive talking with matching "chika pa kasi")

4. Cataract (exposure to PC radiation...good thing most call centers already use LCDs)

5. Stress & anxiety (Damn, those irrate callers)

6. Impotency (lack of SEX, sometimes it's better to sleep instead during your rest days)

7. Fatigue (lack of sleep)

8. Asthma (Sige, takbo! Late ka na naman!)

9. Constipation (30 minutes of lunch...yoyosi pa kasi eh)

10. Forgetfulness (Anong araw na ba?)

naku, tumataba ng sooobra... uuuber!

[steven_crimes]

here are a few reasons why I left the industry nearly a year ago:

 

1. My doctor told me something was wrong with my nerves and my over 4 years in the graveyard shift was the cause of it.

2. Over 90% of the jobs that were being offered to me on JobStreet, JobsDB, etc were ALL call center jobs. As if I wasn't capable of doing anything else.

3. I wanted to go and start on my own business again.

 

Sa ngayon happy na ako sa ginagawa ko. I've started on my business (check my signature) and am making good money. Syempre, may tulong din ang call center industry sa akin, nakaka-miss ang mga tao, pero di na talaga ako babalik sa industry na yan!

Hyper acidity...yan ang nakuha ko when I started working sa call center...Pero ok lang...laki naman ng sweldo

Problem with working in a call center if you have a college degree is that many companies outside the call center industry will not and will never hire past call center agents.

 

Their reason: Undisciplined or difficult to discipline; can be trained to do things but can not think out of the box.

 

Also applies to higher ranks. The only people who work in a call center that can be hired in other industries are those in IT and HRD. Operations Managers and other high ranking managers in operations of a call center do not matter outside the call center industry.

THIS IS TRUE!!! My husband has a hard time finding a job outside of the call center industry kahit na he's already a Team Leader!!! :grr: :grr:

[Seishi]

I worked in this industry for almost 7 years from one job code to another. I stopped kasi masyadong stressful na and I don't wanna grow older than my age I lot of people think it's easy to work in a call center... well, they're absolutely wrong!
