What can you say about call center jobs?

I work in a call center for a small to medium large company. Yes it can be stressful the company I work for is in the US and there are many people that I talk with on a daily basis that speak English fine, but they have a very strong accent, and that makes them hard to understand, and I am trying to provide them support and answer their questions.

Well maybe I cant stand the graveyard shift.as we know,lack of sleep weakens our immune system and we becoe prone to infections and some disieases.

After graduation, I applied to call centers online without knowing the real background or what you will really do after you will pass all the test but I tried my luck and I'm happy that I did not pass it because I don't have the confidence with my english accent. After landing my first job, I asked my colleagues if what is their opinion about call center and they said that it is very stressful because of the schedule and they are afraid if they will not meet the quota. Call centers has a good pay but I think not all company will give that to their employees.

I have passed several call center companies already, but I all turned them down. I am afraid that I may not stand the pressure and stress that comes with the job. I am an emotional person, one reason why I don't think I am capable of working in call centers. I admire those people who are working in call centers for long, they have withstand tremendous stress. Thumbs up to all of you!

it is stressful and for guyz it can b really tough because ..u dont have time. or routine nite..shifts make life hell u can do it for a year... or. 1.5 yrs...but not more than that. cauz it will not help u out in making ur carreer..it will just improve ur conversation skills......so do it to make money . if u dont have ne thing else to do it.

the job is stressful but u can gain some money there

I hated working in call centers. The pay stunk. There wree no benefits and you spent all day having customers screaming at you.

I have heard a lot of stories that call center jobs are very stressful but I still really like to be a call center agent.

yes call centre jobs are very stranious indeed.ittakes a lot of stamina indeed.specially if you are working in night shifts the you are surely going to face a lot of problems.people with good health and high adaptability should only go for it.because you have to attend calls ,maintain composure,as well as work late at night and not fall asleep.so although call centre jobs have a high payout but they are very stressful indeed

How right you are! Call center jobs are very stressful and demanding. It also is a risk to your health.

call centre jobs have helped in rhe increasing demands of people .we hsve to earn one or the other way,no work is easy enough for u to b paid.I think most jobs r stressful but we have to go with it,this is life.

You are right. Call centre jobs can be really stressful and demanding. People even say that the work satisfaction is also absent there.

yup...its very stressful and i feel like quitin'...since am an outbound agent am tired of selling and dealing with dumb .....!i find out that this people are dull..butthead...! but still am planning to transfer to other center...

I think this is one of the high-earned job so far, but it's a high-risk on health.

I think they make good money. That's what I've heard so far.

i keep my husband looking for a call center job now and it seems he wasn't that lucky enough for this year:) He choose it because we think that it's our last chance aside from getting outside of the country where he could have a better pay. I think he was challenge enough to learn those different accents foreign people speak. We know that working in a call center company is very stressful and you must be ready especially your emotional well being. I'd like to work in a call center too but I might as well try online opportunities first or consider getting a job abroad:)

call center jobs in our place is so in demand that I myself got hooked into it..but never pursued it... =)

Yes, you are right! Really really stressful. My sister-in-law is working in a call center and she is always sick... always absent. So right now, she wants to resign and look for another job.
