Call Center Survey Summary

Survey question: Which is the worst call center in the Philippines?

Voting tally: 33 readers voted on this survey
West Contact - 7 votes
Sutherland -9 votes
Teletech -11 votes
None of the above - 11 votes

Yesterday, was the end of theover-a-monthlong call center survey I started and I found some interesting observations with it. First let me thank all of those who participated. The feedback the survey got will definitely inspire more survey in the near future. It was amusing to find people giving their honest opinions about their selected thumb's-down. We also got some flaming from a couple of people who were upset that their call center was included. I'd have to say this was the more amusing part. A couple of readers even found this blog as a venue to argue about someone or something. You can read about all the funny call center comments here.

My observations:

1. It looks like Teletech seems to get the same amount of votes as with the rest of the other call centers not included in the list. No one really gave a specific comment about what's not-so-good about Teletech so please leave a comment here on if you've been from Teletech or much better if you're currently working for them so people can get an updated observation.

2. The rest of the choices aren't too far away either. West gets 7 and Sutherland 9 which I think shows that we've made the correct choice of listing these in the call center survey. I drew these choices based on the observed feedback from one of the more popular Filipino forums online.

3. It was a good thing there was a good sould that provided positive feedback for West Contact Services. I just wished all rest could have provided some good points as well.

Lesson learned: We should all remember that like humans, call centers intrinsically good-natured. No company should be in business just to dupe their employees or customers. Most importantly and take it from me, sticking with your company for longer than you should would always be better. Unless they want you out ofcourse. :D

247Customer Call Center Coming To Alabang

Watch out all you call center applicants in the south! If you're looking for work close to home, 24/7Customer is reportedly building a site in Alabang Muntinlupa specifically the North Cybergate area.

The 24/7 Customer call center has recently been getting rave reviews from its present employees and most are satisfied with the work they have now compared to previous employment experiences. 247Customer is company primarily managed by Indian nationals but also have Filipino managers in the hierarchy.

For people in the Alabang, Laguna and Cavite area, this should be a welcome development as we all know proximity to the place of work greatly contributes to employee convenience and retention. For the former Convergys managers (now managers in 247customer), this should be a sort of coming home time, because the new 247customer building would be right around the corner where the Convergys building along with HSBC, APAC and Firstsource buildings are standing. The the inauguration and operations are reportedly starting by September 2008!
