current job
Technical Support Professional- (Current Employee), Belleville, ON – September 26, 2012
Pros: paycheck
Cons: constant pressure to sell
I spend 8 hours on the phone and we are constantly pressure to sell to all callers. The callers are seeking tech support and not all are receptive to sales approaches.

Customer Satisfaction Representative
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Glace Bay, Nova Scotia – June 28, 2012
Pros: learned a lot
Cons: no room for advancement
I was responsible for resolving issues of customers via telephone. People would call in with a problem & it was my job to identify the problem & find a solution to retain the customer's business. I learned a lot about patience & interpersonal communication which has benefited me in all aspects of my life. The hardest part of the job was when you couldn't – more... come to a positive conclusion & the customer was lost. The most enjoyable part was the feeling of accomplishment when you know you went over & above for a customer. – less

Productive and fun workplace
Sales Support Professional (Current Employee), Mandaluyong, P00 – June 7, 2012
Pros: clothing allowance, rice subsidy, free coffee, juices, free internet access at the pantry area
Cons: graveyard shifts. no holiday pay during day offs.
Working in stream global services is stressful but fun. Having workmates who consider everyone as friends, brothers or sisters. If our schedule allows us to go on lunch together, we share our food and few talking & laughing over our packed foods.

Our management are approachable and handles their responsibilities well. Even at times there are glitches – more... but they're trying their best to provide a good and happy working environment.

The most enjoyable part in my job is going out with my teammates and supervisor after work.

Everyday is a learning process. I learn to love your job well. – less

Would not recomend
Technical Support Profesional (Former Employee), Belleville, ON – May 30, 2012
When I applied for the position at stream nowhere did it say in the advert that you had to sell stuff. Where I worked we had to sell or else we would be fired. Very stressful I wouldnt recomend to anyone.

don't walk, run away!
support/sales (Former Employee), Belleville, Ontario – May 12, 2012
Pros: need a pay check
Cons: they fire the great people and keep the awful ones
Well, it is an absolutely awful place to work. They advertise "competitive pay"=Lie. They advertise "lots of chance to move up"= Lie. "great environment"=LIE. While I worked there, I lived about 50 minutes outside of town, one night I came in, went to my "supervisor" and told him about the large snowstorm we were supposed to get (my shift was 6pm-3am...not – more... sure how that worked), and said "If it gets heavy, Im leaving before the roads get absolutely ugly" Well the storm slammed into the area(it lasted for 36 hours), I went up and said "Im leaving"...he told me that I couldn't, and would not let me leave(literally blocking the door). I was being held there against my will, so I threatened to call the police, and he threatened my job if I did that. Secondly, they tell you in training that your first shift selection quality is based on your average test score...well mine ended up being 3rd highest in my training group, #1 took Thursday--Monday 10-6pm, #2 took tuesday-sat-12-8 30pm, Then I chose Mon-Friday 10-6pm...and wound up getting stuck on a crazy graveyard shift.

Supervisors there are only in those positions because they literally tripped and fell right into them because of who they "know" and drink with, then they think they can intimidate people and try to bully people because they are in a position of authority. The only time someone ever gets promoted, is if someone else leaves. Raises don't exist, equality doesn't exist. Upper management is a complete joke, no idea how to treat employees. The pay is terrible, they claim to pay you commission on things you sell, but you never see it. All in all, it is quite possibly the worst place on the planet to work. – less

Would not reccomend.
Connectivity Specialist (Former Employee), Beaverton, OR – June 16, 2013
Pros: benefits and coworkers
Cons: obvious favortism among management, constantly changing policies, doesn't work with employees on schedules, strict stat requirements
Maybe its just the department I worked at but the stat requirements are rather stringent, the management have favorites and if you're not one, your opportunities for advancement are slim. They didn't work much with employees on scheduling or shift changes.
Coworkers were usually pretty awesome and helpful, and the benefits were decent but those were – more... Stream's only up-sides. – less

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Jacksonville, TX – June 10, 2013
The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with different cultures. The hardest part of the job was dealing with irate customer's being very disrespectful, while remaining calm.
