Teleperformance's Telstra Account

Tweet

I've been with another Telstra account before I applied with this call center, so, I'm hoping that my salary will be a bit higher than the usual offer. To my disappointment, I was only given the same salary as a newbie and I wasn't even allowed to haggle. Because I want a dayshift account near our home, I accepted the offer with a heavy heart, but from that day on, I knew that I will not be there for long. I've read a TREMENDOUS amount of negative feedback about TP so I told myself, let me check what the fuss is all about, after all, it may not happen to me. But TP just proves me wrong. First up, the people. I hate smart a$$ people who think they knew everything and those are the exact people that I've met there. Usually these people are rare in other call centers that I've been with, but in TP, there are an abundance of smart a$$ people that is including but not limited to - OM, TL and agent alike. Next up, the environment. For a relatively low paying center, the environment there was very competitive. It was like competing for every cent that they will get. Competition was tough even during training; imagine, even during cultural training, agents are trying to compete with their fellow agents for about almost anything - presentations, product knowledge etc. Since I already knew the product, I was given the moniker "SME" or Subject Matter Expert by some of my fellow trainee. So, if you are planning on applying in this company, do yourself a favor- DON"T DO IT! Have you been in this call center? What can you say about them?
