Tier 1 Technical Support (Former Employee) – Windsor, on – 12 February 2019
Imagine punching in to a job that has a very inconsistent schedule every single week, just to get called racist names by random strangers on the phone because of their own incompetent actions or lack of self awareness.
Then as you grit your teeth and continue to help them, you've got computers that can barely handle the programs that are haphazardly installed onto them, crashing all the time, and an overall work environment full of tired people who want absolutely nothing to do with helping you.
They will screw up their own simple duties, and then throw the blame on you, and there will be absolutely nothing you can do about it.
The pay is also abysmal, and the turnover is one of the worst I've ever seen.
Only take this job if you're absolutely desperate, or just need something to waste/fill your time for the next 60-80 days. Do not expect to advance past the 90 days minimum.

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Sault Ste. Marie, ON – 16 January 2019
The job was interesting and rewarding in the sense of pride you feel after being to help someone with resolving their concerns and often giving assurance that someone was there to help them.

Team Leader / Night Time Supervisor (Former Employee) – Sault Ste. Marie, ON – 16 January 2019
It is often difficult to advance whether one has education, potential, drive and ambition. Call Center jobs are often low advancement opportunities wrongly called careers by recruiters.
Pros
Warm inside work sitting on your behind if you like that
Cons
Low wages, lack of exercise, lack of opportunities for advancement.
Customer Service/Dell & Gateway Computers
Customer Service Agent (Former Employee) – Sault Ste. Marie, ON – 15 January 2019
Incoming calls on how to troubleshoot issues related to hardware and software on the Dell and Gateway computers. I was also able to sell software, hardware and whole computers.
I learned how to listen to a clients issues to point them in the best direction for a solution.
The culture in the work place was fun, engaging and enjoyable.
The hardest part of the job was when a customers hard drive failed and lost all their files and I was not able to recover them.
Most enjoyable part of my job was teaching/educating the clients so they can fix their own small issues on their own.

Call Centre Representative (Former Employee) – Windsor, ON – 6 January 2019

demanding quotas

Typical Third Party Call Center
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Windsor, ON – 11 December 2018
This is just another third party call center. Work morale is extremely low as most call centers are that run on small budgets and push for low billable shrink. Definitely somewhere to go as an in-between or beginner job. Call volume is fair but can get super busy at times. Metrics are fairly easy to obtain. Lots of unprofessional coworkers that act like kids and it just goes tolerated by management. Makes the environment feel like a daycare.
The major problem with these major corporate third party call centers is that they're not getting any better with time, but worse. As the cost of living and minimum wage hikes up, they're falling behind in job advantages, and Sutherland falls under this umbrella.
At this place, you can expect to feel the full force of both the low economic prowess of Windsor and the lackluster experience of working at a high stress call center environment. You can tell that the managers and trainers are stressed big time, and it shows in how they approach their roles.
Their call quality process is pretty crazy, too. They really try to find reasons to push for disciplinary action.
However, Sutherland does have a few great advantages to working there. Listed in the Pros section.
