Pros

Working remote and thats about it

Cons

1. You are underpaid for the amount of stress that you go through working there 2. Non stop call from the moment you clock in until you clock out 3. No work life balance because you are expected to work every holiday 4. Trying to take off for work is almost impossible. You cant take off 3 or 4 months in advance. The only time you can take off work is within 14 days of the date you are requesting and it is not guaranteed 5. Impossible to climb up in the company and get raised

Pros

Transcom has money to burn. If you end up in a choice position, you'll have the opportunity to spend (lots) of money and no one will notice or care! San Antonio is a great city to work in - just find a position with someone other than Transcom to work for. Favoritism is a real thing from the top down. If the execs like you, you'll have it made, even if you can't actually do the job. You can have terrible attendance, be sleeping with the HR manager and a lousy ability to manage people in a way that is sincere, and the Canadian leaders will have no idea how lousy you are at your job because they like you. If you want to work at a call center in San Antonio, throw a rock and you'all hit one. Go to any other call center, but stay away from I actually grew to love a great team there. I hope they are all OK and taken care of. Too bad "taken care of" will mean they will have to leave Transcom to get that from an employer....

Cons

Payroll is a joke. Too many times, I was told to lie to the employees about Transcom's ability to make payroll. And the Comptroller in Denver was allowed to withhold employee's pay with no repercussion at all. Benefits for medical and dental are TERRIBLE! Maybe try to take care of the employees at all levels and some may actually stay and want to work there. The bugs are terrible! I know it's Texas and all, but the infestations were out of control. Spend a little money (you're good at that on stupid, senseless things - try doing it on something that will make a difference!) and bring in an exterminator on a regular basis until the bug problem is solved! Praise the employees that work hard, not just those you like. You'll be surprised how far a little praise will take you. The location of the site. It's in the ghetto! But since that is the crowd you are trying to appeal to...... The execs at the highest levels are corrupt! They have to make up fake invoices to send to clients to collect revenue that wasn't truly earned.

Pros

Work at home, sit in pjs

Cons

Most of the 5 star reviews are hr or corporate. Just a fair warning. The truth to this company is it is highly corrupt. The project I was on is under "restructuring" aka - people being fired due to the client hiring third world countries to do our jobs for cheap labor and the Philippines office taking over most departments. Even the HR department is you guessed it OVERSEAS!!!! There are other "clients" that this company services, however the one I worked for was horrible. Unrealistic goals, metrics, KPIs, whatever they want to call them. They have outsourced most positions such as scheduling, QA department overseas to Transcoms Philippines office. There was NO way to move up in this company other than to Team Lead and that was a position hand picked by a higher up. The managements response to most of our reviews says there are advancement opportunities. PROVE IT. WHERE? This client you can only move up to SME aka a supervisor. The rest of the departments are overseas. Again, please prove where one can move up from a customer service representative? Mandatory overtime every week because they cannot keep staff. High turn over. Nearly every call was someone rude, screaming, or down right stupid. Back to back calls of being cussed out. If you don't read their script verbatim or mess up at all during the script QA marked points off. Even on a perfect call. The systems are trash. Long tedious process for one call and if you aren't done notating every little thing by the end of the call or the customer hangs up on you prepare to be yelled at. Programs frequently go down and you cannot assist the customer which angers them even more. Surveys? bad marks on it due to POLICY will affect you. Benefits are a complete joke and expensive. They expect pure perfection with unrealistic metrics, bad policies, lowest paying CSR job of a whopping $10.50 an hour - OH but we get pay for performance? HA!!! I'd pay to see the QA department take calls and get scored on their own metrics. Good luck requesting time off. Cant schedule when someone gets sick and if you get hit with the flu? Good luck they wont approve time off. Glad I got out when I did . I wasted too many years of my life for absolutely nothing and poverty level wages. Prepare to work 45+ hours and no appreciation.
