What type of call centre do u work inkalli said:hi there
i recently started in a call centre...
i get paid $16.84 an hour before tax and i work minimum 20 hours per week. there is ALWAYS overtime offered for which i get paid double time.
i know sales people sometimes get commission and a base rate but u gotta be acreful if you are going to get into sales... check what u will be getting paid...
the conditions are alright. its very structured (like u gotta be RIGHT on time) but there are heaps of bonuses if u r a good worker. also heaps of opp for career progression.
u basically answer a call, write your notes (they give 20 seconds here) and then take the next call straight away. there is no opportunity to chat to other ppl coz everyone is on calls...
also when u get angry customers they give you a headache real easy...
but i get good pay, good conditions, i just have to do my job and im outta here straight away... the benefits outweigh the negatives for me...
anyways,i just applied through seek.... goo luck!

She used to work for Impulse Airlines and got 90% off flights (yes thats right i flew to canberra for $9 and QLD for $11) But now QANTAS bought them out so she doesnt get perks like that.
