well I did work in a call center but for a very very short time. I did not like it at all which is why it was for a very short time. I believe that most call centers are outsourced now a days

Doesn't seem that call centers actually work. How many times have you gotten a call center only to have them tell you, "Let me open a problem ticket on that issue and someone will get back to you." I think most call centers provide below average customer service - but that seems to be the trend nowadays.

no i feel working there is of no use you are not gaining any knowlegde and the exp from the call center can be of use in another call center only and know one thing its booming only because of cheap labour. after few years china will come on top. now they lack because they dnt know english

i have worked both with an outsourced one as well as a captive one ...... working in a captive call centre gives you more flexibility towards leaves and holidays ....

I used to work for one that did outsource work for several companies. It was a lousy job but gave me good experience.

I have worked in a call center from my home. There are a ton of companies that hire people to work from their homes in a "virtual" call center. www.myathomelife.com lists the companies for free.
