Pros
You can actively scream profanities while placing the customer on hold since you're working from home. Beforehand, I would have to quietly flip them the bird under my desk to not arouse suspicion with the hall monitors in the office.
Cons
Make sure you have Sutherland Global's attendance line on speed dial whilst you're on your deathbed. You want to make sure you call in everyday before your shift otherwise you will probably become a phone agent in the afterlife.

Thanks for the feedback. We do take any and all allegations such as those you described, seriously. We encourage you to reach out to comments@sutherlandglobal.com to share your feedback more directly, so that we can properly address your concerns.
Extremely low pay for the amount of work and the type of calls that you have to deal with. Lots of mircomanaging. Unrealistic metrics. Lack of knowledge and competency from leadership because at no point should your workers know more than you about the job itself. No care for unforseen life circumstances that affect your ability to work. Very stressful and mentally exhausting which often leads to burnout. No recognition for hard work and meeting metric goals. Too hard to get PTO approved. Tech and internal systems are always breaking which affects your ability to do your job. No one is ever on the same page which often leads to being given incorrect information. No room for growth or opportunities to go into other roles. Benefits are not that great. Mid health insurance plans, no 401K match, no parental leave, and no internet reimbursements. They'll sell you a fairytale in training so BEWARE.
