Pros

Alorica is filled with people who care about the company at all levels and especially at some of the lowest levels where money/good pay is not buying their loyalty. Great first job with opportunities to get promoted quicker than many places. CEO is committed to positive change and progression.

Cons

Sometimes potential new business deals outweigh sound business judgment leading to poor decisions that are not fully communicated to the clients and they impact future company performance. ie... over promising, painting a rosy picture to the client when the facts say different. ie.. overselling a product or skill the company doesn't really have success with or over committing to a staffing level a market may not support. Director and above benefits are competitively priced and subsidized but they are not subsidized at the same rate for lower level employees and therefore cost prohibitive and in many cases unavailable at the same comparable coverage to those levels even if they want to pay. Some very talented people in team manager, manager, support roles, etc who are not paid at the market rate and without an annual performance review they are stuck at those pay rates for years. The low pay also enables less talented people to get promoted as a norm into these positions which holds back their team's performance. Create an annual review process with potential raises for good performance.

Pros

Lunch lasts for 1 hour. Some managers are nice. Compensation is not bad for a call center job.

Cons

Contradictory set of info provided during training compared to later on, and sometimes you get penalized for providing honest information that you aren't prohibited from giving out. There's about seven million rules that you are expected to follow, and many of them are dumb. Some managers are annoying/jerks. Management gets really frustrated that customers leave from conversations dissatisfied even though we are literally calling them as Collections Agents for a credit card company to tell them they are thousands of dollars in debt. If you get 2 Compliance fails they fire you (and Compliance fails aren't just for regulatory things the company can get sued for). Expected to follow regulations that do not even apply to our particular company. (Newsflash! HIPAA does not apply to credit card companies!). Now if you get 4 dissatisfaction surveys from customers they fire you. (Getting fired at this job is extremely easy! I nearly got fired when I was reluctant to take a transfer call I was NOT authorized to take and upper management said I wasn't being a "good teammate" because of my reluctance to take the call.) Dissatisfaction surverys are also ridiculously hard to dispute. Customers are extremely horrible, foul-mouthed, stupid, vindictive and nasty. You get like 2 hours of PTO per month, which is about 2 days out of the entire year. No holiday pay - they will just send you home with no pay on Christmas. People steal your lunch if you put it in the company fridge. There's an oppressive atmosphere of complete misery that hangs over the whole building. If the company decides to move on to a different call center, they call a townhall meeting the day that it happens without any advance notice to let all the call center agents that they are being furloughed or let go. Also, they have confirmed finding a bed bug problem in the building. Run, run away!
