Pros
NONE, if there is a pro, then you could say it might be better then manual labor, but your'e treated as such in a seat with a monitor, but been wrong before.
Cons
1. MICROMANAGEMENT, 2. REVOLVING DOOR, 3. TRAIN ALL IN THE SAME QUEUES, 4. MANAGEMENT ARE BULLIES. 5. KINDERGARTEN RULES. This is for the Call Center side of Unisys Called UTS. Been doing this with them for 4.5 years. It started out as a good queue more or less, then over time it went from getting things done, to now being number games(more money for the supervisors) and following process(whatever that means) and internal politics. There stock reflects there poor choices in how they manage queues to the ground. They deserve what they get. They bring anyone off the streets(it seems they need no computer schooling or training), so it brings in lousy support, and it has become a pass the buck type of work(with newbies training newbies, because the older group that knew what they were doing have been pushed out or fired). When new people come in the door they get approx. 13.50 a hour or more, and they don't care about the ones who have been there for years, paying them 11 dollars a hour(keep in mind, most of the old group had some sort of schooling and certifications) when I started poking around asking too many questions the management told me its just a industry standard, and everyone does it, hence #2. When it comes to support, for example Unisys will say they hired you for Navartis support and next thing you know they just take you and throw you to Microsoft department. It's a nightmare from the time you sit down in the initial training class til your fired/quit(once in the department they will say your trained just for messaging queue, but then a week later you will be told that your now supporting 3 additional queues. Once on the floor however you will find that you were duped! The reason being, is that you will see many in that department have only been trained in one of those queues and never trained in the others. And on top of that, they are getting paid the same amount of money that you make or more, even though you have more training/skill and expertise(That's when you say what the heck is going on here? This isn't right!) And because of this the queue burns(meaning they don't have enough bodies to support all of the queues for the amount of calls coming in, and this generates many cold xfers to you from your fellow co-workers, so your are in constant state of misery with call after call, and micromanagement on top of that). They now only base a persons new schedule on performance, they ruined it and took away the longevity(so your just another piece of meat in a seat, and remember there judging your stats against some of those that are in only one queue, so you can never measure up to there stats, its all so bogus and such a joke!) Don't waste your time with trying to get into L2 or upper management positions. They already have the person in mind before they interview(there friends or relatives) which are almost always Women including HR. Men are almost all the worker bees, and are treated as chumps. HR will do nothing to help you, and they will protect there own, and will destroy you if you get in there way when you bring up any of there wrongs to them. Everything is a can't, can't, can't(hence number 4.) even though it didn't start out that way, Unisys makes up things as they go now and all good things come to a end. Hence #2. Last thing: Don't bother with there insurance as its next to garbage and no benefits, hence this will end up causing #2, get the picture?
