They often pay minimum wage, and then use bonus incentives to get you to work for your money. If you have the right kind of approach, and a thick skin, you can rise up the career ladder, but it certainly isn't for everyone. I'm always suspcious of any employment sector that alwasy has vacancies - if it's that good, why do so many people leave and leave spaces to be filled?

i could only stick it for 6 months and that was a long time compared to some of the staff where i worked. they do tend to hire agency staff because they can dismiss them quickly and easily. target based work is very demanding and when your pay depends on it, it can be very stressful. i would say call cantre work is just a job, not really a place for career progression.
Some of you job options include agent level, support, team leader, supervisor, manager, QA, mission control, trainor, scheduling, etc. For more info, see http:// bitly.c om/1a67 yna
