Sitel Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"It is an amazing firm with great culture"

"Please do yourself a favor. DO NOT apply. AND keep your money in your pocket. I first got a response last December when they needed a bilingual customer representative. The recruiter said that my laptop did not adhere to the specific requirements. Fine enough. I went to buy another laptop with a quad-core at 1.2 GHz (more than required honestly). That laptop passed their technological requirements test just fine with a big green check. The recruiter ended up not approving of this laptop because the processor speed was not a good fit according to her opinion (HR opinion on technology). I doubt that 0.3 GHz would have made a difference. Anyway, I went on to exchange that laptop to another one a gaming one. 2.5 GHz with more than enough memory than required. I also changed my ISP to get a faster speed. All in all she ended telling me that she would not be able to recruit me because I was still under my Canadian study permit after my recent graduation. Now, let us rectify HR ignorance on the rules of IRCC here:" You can continue to work after you finished your studies only if: you’ve already applied for a work permit." - Which ahem I'm doing right now. She also did not seem to be interested to give me a bilingual position and focused only on specific English positions (maybe perhaps to pay me less). She could have also mentioned to me that she did not want to work with me AT ALL right at the beginning. It would have prevented me to go through all of this hassle. Funny story: The recruiter made a mistake and ended up leaving a voicemail that was destined to somebody else. While speaking, she clearly mentioned to that person that she would find support for her into buying a computer and other equipments to let her start the job. I was speechless. I spent so much money into getting set up while other people clearly got the opportunity to receive help into buying a computer and equipments. The recruiter made me spend a lot of money for nothing. AVOID at all cost."

"Good company, with intense training, and extremely fast paced setting. It can be tough to keep up, and constantly evolving standards, but it can be an amazing opportunity for a lot of people to enter the professional field."

"Great trainers... Need to lengthen the training"

"I don't like the way they handle how they train and they let people get away with stuff."

"They have roaches!! Bathrooms are nasty. Microwaves are nasty. They haven’t vacuumed the whole I been there. It’s gross."

"Great Company really bad Administration"

"Sitel has been a good company to work for. To date, they have employed 75,000 associates that represent 27 countries and are present in 150 locations worldwide. However, because of how widespread this job is, working remotely with this company is standard, with there only being a baseline expected for all employees and not much room for growth."

"I love the people that I work with but training for both of the positions left a lot to be desired. I believe they would have much better agents with better training. Also, If you need help it is better to ask a fellow coworker to help you than to wait on a tea lead, most of them are rude and do not want to help. Other than that it is a great place to work."

"The job itself is very easy to do. The training is thorough but the only drawback is the constant changes that happen."
