It served its purpose

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee)
Tacoma, WA

I worked at Convergys full-time for less than a year

ProsIt was reliable work, no issues with pay, the people were friendly, the customers were usually upbeat, it had overtime opportunities around the holidays.

Consit was difficult to get help at times for a supervisor auth so your calls might end up being over 20 min. minor tech problems would sometimes make you late for your shift

Advice to Senior ManagementThey should probably have more helpers for the reps in chat, and the one on one coachings should be done on time so we know what areas to work on

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Great Company to work for

Good reliable job.

Customer Service Representative (Current Employee)
Tucson, AZ

I have been working at Convergys full-time for less than a year

ProsYou get a bonus based on your performance and metrics at the end of every month, and good shift times.

ConsSome of the downsides are sitting for a long time, and not a lot of variability with your schedule.

Advice to Senior ManagementEvaluating TL's every so often to make sure they are updated with their own goals as TLs.

If you like sales, it may be OK.

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee)
Hickory, NC

I worked at Convergys full-time for less than a year

ProsGood Benefits
Average Pay
Some really good people work there

ConsCrazy hours
Do not like their heavy handed method of sales

Advice to Senior ManagementEase up on the sales quota - I know you don't call it that, but when a person is trying to sell, and still not making the number of sales you want - you fire them. TO ME THAT IS A SALES QUOTA>

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
