To Summarize:
Salary range for TSE/CSR/CCR/CCA:
1. Infonxx - 11k-15k...
2. PeopleSupport - 16k-20k...
3. itouchpoint - 33k...
4. Convergys - 15k-25k...
5. Sykes Asia - 20k-30k...
Am I right on these figures? :D
Got to know what persuaded other people from Infonxx, Etelecare, and especially Sykes/itouchpoint(I don't get it, the basic salary is above the industry!) to transfer here at Convergys besides being the #1?
Anyone with a detailed comment on this?

Sykes ako before pero di ganun ka-taas ang salary ko even if you include your perks and benefits once your regularized considering na 1 yr mahigit ako sa sykes *** increase is not that high... while here in CVG 25 is too high for an agent yun lang masasabi ko lower naman... saan mo na kuha *** figures na yan?

I sent my application to Sykes 3 yrs ago, I was offered 20k for the position of TSE. I turned it down because I want to work in a family business for experience. 20k? Nah, My pocket will be empty even before the end of the month.
:D
The lowest possible salary at CVG might be 15k only for the said positions?
With regards to the figures of infonxx, PeopleSupport, and itouchpoint, I referred to other threads under this forum...

I just had an interview with the operation manager his name is john then later that afternoon Frances told to go back for an interview with the senior operation manager which is Renzi Ramirez.. Actually dapat last november pa ako but I had a problem with my non-compete clause contract so they told me na impossible na... I was so suprised after a month I received a call from Frances that I will a schedule for interview at equitable tower in ortigas. i am wondering that they just called me up when they learned from their outsource that ambergris still give me a job offer inspite of my non compete clause contract. btw I am not sure whether I am in already or not.
Una: Can u give an idea whether I am in or not already? I applied for Team Lead position and I passed the exams and laso went to orient square for the training. I worked for technical support for one year already as team lead.... pls pm me so I would know if you think I am already in.. I really dont know what really happened with my final interview with Renzi..

Why a lot of people are trying to get themselves there? There are a lot of reasons, among them, the prestige of being with the top call center in the US. Convergys offers the opportunity to grow - careerwise since it is still establishing a foothold here in the country - pioneers get a higher chance of getting up in the corporate ladder! Many people from other call centers have found themselves stuck in the same position they're in a few years after they first stepped in the company.
Finally, the largest call center is offering higher rates and better benefits compared to other call centers. Would you rather get a lower pay if you're doing the same thing with the same amount of effort you're exerting? That explains why there are a lot of people trying to get in the company, including people from other call centers.

IT managers should have strong background in IT and networking experience. Considering that you'll be in charge of the whole center's backbone (which is the internet), the likely candidate for this position should have both the knowledge and experience to back this very important function.
Operations managers are people who basically take care of the production floor. They should be good in handling supervisors as well as knowledgeable about call center operations and how a specific program/ programs work and function. They coordinate with other managers from other centers having the same program aside from the client center itself.

Just called Frances (HR) she told me that they are currently shor listing the applicants and my application daw is in active file. so does this means I need to look for another company na? Kc from what I understand if they say your application is on active file, they mean that they will call you if they need you. In short nasa wait list ako kung trip nila :(...
I just wish that they didnt call me na lang for that interview kc at least nagconcentrate ako sa ambergris ko.... Kainis naman sila..........

Observer: they'll call you soon don't worry... that's if you did pass the simulation exam. It usually takes 3-4 weeks before they call for a final interview but I guess they're adjusting the dates since the company just had an open house.
wildflower: try other companies, too. I know you want to try it out here, but while you're waiting you might as well try applying in other companies for opportunities. Try to push yourself to other heights and not just limit yourself to one company.

Ever heard of the word " theory " black_death? I suppose you have. Theory is a guess that needs to be proven. You though that she was after money which makes it as a valid statement or a given fact. Therefore you just need to prove your theory. So, what am I driving at here? I'm just trying to say that you are pretty much a judgmental person with your statement. Give wildflower13 a break!

Hmmm...malaman yang nasabi mo, kaibigan. I do have questions as to how they promote internal TL's as well. Have you any experience with this process anyway?
BTW, I just got the word that I didn't make it either. I realy didn't mind this until I found out that someone (I won't mention names) who is pretty much undeserving got in. What I meant by undeserving is HIS attitude of not being serious enough. He may have the people skills as well as the tech knowledge, however, di marunong magseryoso. I just hope that once he's a TL, he takes good care of his team and not play around like he always does.
Well,like I say...BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME. I'd like to discuss this reaction of yours with management as well since it's starting to get out of hand anyway. You know, floorwide chika spreads like wildfire.

1. Hiring yan - Makati or Ortigas (since both centers have recruitment officers stationed there).
2. Mahirap ba? -dat depends on how you actually view customer service...(hint, hint)
3. Ok ang environment, so far...
4. Mabait ba ang mga tao? - dats for you to find out (after all, we have our own opinions right?)
5. Salary - again, that depends on the offer you got, but it is competitive with other centers
6. Daming tanong - HINDI! ( joke lang po :D )

Not yet, but I get that it will be by midyear (of this year that is). Hey, we've got a lot of interested clients coming in so I'd like to assume that everyone's working double-time to set up the center in Alabang and Cebu. I also heard through the grapevine that QC is the next site that they might work on after Cebu. It's not final, though.

Hi!.. I just signed a contract with Convergys and Im going to start my training on February 2. The application process was actually fast but its very rigid. I had to undergo several exams and interviews. The company itself looks quite good to me. I heard its the most prestigious among call centers. Im actually excited for my first day. Medyo mababaw pero I especially liked the building- Enterprise Tower. Anyway, for those of you whose already working for call centers or in Convergys... can you give me tips on how to survive my first weeks of training. What adjustments should I make. Your ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

On my experience, the processing took only a week. I went there within the days indicated on their Ad and I was immediately entertained. The first screening was quite easy.... You only need to introduce yourself... then answer a "MS. UNIVERSE" question.... and lastly, we were asked to read a paragraph. After that, We had to wait for the presiding HR and she handed us out a letter that indicates whether we qualify or not.
For us who passed the first screening, we had to come back for the SIMULATION exam. The exam would take around 2 hours... and they immediately give out the results....
After the simulation, we were called up for the final interview....
then I had to wait for their call whether Ill be scheduled for the job offer. Not receiving a call from them would mean that your application would be put into the active file.

Hmm...yes, I believe that a coin has two sides but one must remember to check if the person has indeed looked at both sides. Yes, maybe there people who mayabang and stiff inside CVG, but it does not only exist in the CVG call center. There are similar personalities and even worse in other call centers. It's okay to have first impressions but what's bad is to assume that all people inside the company are one and the same. You can't avoid having bad eggs in a company. One must have a real-time experience inside the company before arriving to a conclusion. :shy:
As for CVG being strict, I really haven't experience it yet since it's just my second month. So far, everything is going well for me here. Chill people! TC!

I've been with this company for 5 months now and one thing I can say is... this company SUCKS!!! Undeniably, it is the #1 call center in the US but the billions that this company earn in revenue do not trickle down to us lowly agents. The benefits suck... no transpo allowance, no hazard pay.. instead they rent a tiny tiny condo unit for you to stay in case calamities happen. Now how can you fit a hundred or so agents just in case that calamity happened? with regards to strictness.. ok, here's a list...
- thou shall not use the internet
- thou shall not play games on the computer (even solitaire)
- thou shall not change the wallpaper of your pc
- thou shall not remove your slippers
- thou shall not sleep on your station even during your lunch and break hours
- thou shall not decorate your workstation..
- thou shall not eat at the workstation
- thou shall not place your pillow on top of your table or on your lap. It should only be at your back..
On top of it all, the salary is not commensurate to the volume of calls we have here... And dapat magaling kang magbenta kasi pag bagsak ang conversion mo for 3 consecutive months ( the number of videos or cds or applications you processed), automatic termination ka.. so there... that's the #1 call center company..
Or if you want some more proof... go to this website.. www.convergyssucks.com... It was created by agents from the different convergys sites in the states...

It was my first day at work.... for the whole day we had a company introduction... so far, I liked what I saw. It was indeed very stable. It is growing and I think the company policies are fair enough. In fact, it is very professional. We also had the chance to meet some of the company heads and I find them really friendly.
Actually, its too early to assume that everything here is okay. But I would say Im satisfied with the company and the benefits that they offer. Im more excited about the training.... they claim to have the best training program for customer service reps. among contact- center companies. Even though after the probationary period, I wouldnt be regularized, I dont lose anything pa rin... In fact, I would gain something because of that training.

hindi ko sobrang "LUV" ang CVG pero i would just like to comment on the things u posted.
- thou shall not use the internet---MOST companies implement that because if you dont know, MOST call centers use VOIP or the internet to recieve/make calls from/to the U.S. So kung ganun ginagamit natin na technology, hindi talaga mkakabuti kung magbrobrowse tayo while recieving calls because we are using that meduim nga.
- thou shall not play games on the computer (even solitaire)---BAKIT ka nga naman maglalaro while on work? you should concentrate on your work coz U ARE BEING PAID for it. CVG is not paying YOU to PLAY GAMES while working ayt? and siguro naman LAHAT ng companies do have that SAME policy dba?I think you have computers in the pantry that you can use to play games during ur breaks.
- thou shall not change the wallpaper of your pc---I believe MOST companies has the same policy...minsan kasi depende sa TL mo yan e...pero sa team naman d naman bawal. i wonder who ur TL is?
- thou shall not remove your slippers----WHY will you remove ur slippers in the first place?you can remove ur slippers while ur sitting on ur station naman, d na siguro makikita ng TL mo yun. pero kung iba ibig mo sabihin, BAWAL naman talaga yan dba kahit saang company na magyapak sa office dba?
- thou shall not sleep on your station even during your lunch and break hours---MOST companies do that also, its not inviting for others to see their seatmate sleeping on their stations. Buti nga ** may SLEEPING quarters eh sa isang call center dyan sa makati, concidering na sila yung BIGGEST call center ** sa pinas, WALANG sleeping quarters at BAWAL matulog sa workstations.
- thou shall not decorate your workstation----- thou shall not eat at the workstation---MOST companies do that also...kaya nga may PANTRY...if u are referring to eating chips or biscuits on ur workstation...consider mo naman muna yung nasa table mo which is the computer. kahit saang call center BAWAL talaga.
If THIS is ur first job, well maswerte ka pa rin sa karamihan na nagwork na bilang agent sa iba't ibang call center for more than a year. Simple *** naman, if YOU can't stand the policies here, better talk to your tl and sabihin mo lahat ng ayaw mo. Then kung wala pa din mangyayari, resign ka na *** kasi nahihirapan ka....wag mo na pahirapan sarili mo. Sori for being blunt, but its my nature to be like this.
As what I have posted before, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT COMPANY. Ive worked for 2 call centers na and nandito na nga ako sa CVG, so far okay ***. Hindi ako nangaaway pero guys magisip naman tau bago tau magpost. peace :)

Hmmm, sounds like the classic case of opinions clashing,eh?Anyway, here's my two cents worth, and I don't mind some comments here and there. After all, that's what makes a thread endure, right? I guess fairychild brought up the topic to solicite opinions (and boy diddy get 'em :argue: )
Converygs, by nature, is a customer contact center just like all the other centers here in the Philippines. It has its good points as well as its weak points. Any company for that matter has this basic duality. I understand that some employees are unsatisfied with their existing companies because (mainly) they don't get what they want, right? However, before moping and ranting about how much you hate the company and its policies, I believe that you should seek for answers first with the right people. I would like to insert what Ms. Penny always says (and personally, I believe should be in any case):
"IF YOU ARE SICK, GO TO THE DOCTOR...NOT TO THE POLICEMAN. "
As chillin_kyle has mentioned, most of our superiors are very open and approachable. If you feel otherwise, then there is always the presence of alternatives to take. It is up to you to choose and to face the consequences of your decisions.

It's no biggie, chillin_kyle. In fact, I do agree with what you just posted here. Some people (in fact, MOST people) need a lesson in discipline every now and then. We do have the habit of abusing kindness, kasi. :frustrated:
In fact, I'm very happy with how things are turning out here in Convergys. The company's getting bigger and better. :bow:
Although we employess have so many demands that cannot be met as of the moment (transpo allowance, hazard pay,etc.), I still believe that HR is working on them. I guess the major part that we have to take in meeting those demands we made would be proving ourselves to our clients. The more clients (reputable ones at that), the better chances of getting more benefits and better compensation in the near future (not that I'm saying that what we have now is bad). I guess in due time, our efforts will indeed pay off BIG TIME. :handsdown: :cheerleader: :greed:

Sweetie, this website is mainly for people who were frustrated and found no means of receiving attention that they needed so bad. I just couldn't help but shake my head in disgust when I, too, logged into the website. I'm just crossing my fingers that the Philippine sites would have agents mature enough to NOT be part of this monstrosity (as I'd like to call it).

I do agree with chillin_kyle's post and I just want to comment on some of the statements made by xuxa. Pardon me for speaking in Filipino.
Internet: Ang alam ko bawal gamitin ang internet for personal use. Bakit naman magsusulat ng love letter, magpapadala ng chain mail, at magbukas ng green jokes habang nagtratrabaho, di ba?! Bakit mo rin uungkatin ang buhay nila Demi Moore at Ashton Kutcher? Bakit mo hahanapin ang number one song sa MTV? May kaugnayan ba yan sa trabaho mo o dahil trip mo lang?! Trabaho muna, saka na ang sarap.
Games: Bakit maglalaro ng minesweeper, pinball, at solitaire habang nasa trabaho ?! Laro na lang ng Ragnarok suking Internet Cafe pag na-bore ka o pagkatapos ng shift. Siguro kung gusto ng isang tao na maglaro ng solitaire eh magdala na lang siya ng baraha at maglaro sa pantry while on break. Puwede ka na rin magsideline na manghuhula kapag nagkataon.
Wallpaper: Oo minsan okay magkaroon ng magandang wallpaper sa pc pero dapat tandaan na ang wallpaper ay kumakain ng resources sa PC.
Slippers: Bakit ka naman magtatanggal ng tsinelas?! Ang alam ko lang na gumagawa nito ay mga government employees na humihingi ng lagay at kumakain ng butong pakwan para mapabilis ang papeles mo. Saka may mga clients na umiikot sa floor minsan ano na lang ang sasabihin nila sa kumpanya kapag nakita nila ang isang empleyado na parang feel at home with Charlene ang ginagawa?!
Sleep: Kaya nga may sleeping quarters eh. Ano pa silbi ng sleeping quarters kung sa workstation ka matutulog?! Kakahiya naman matulog sa workstation tapos naghihilik ka pala. Tsk!
Pillow: Tendency naman kasi pagnasa lap ang pillow inaantok tapos dirediretso na sa pagtulog at paghilik. Diyahe naman kung tulugan mo yung client di ba?! Sa likod na lang para added support sa frame mo.
These are just my opinions. Nothing personal to xuxa or whoever. We all need to be disciplined and be professional if we want to be successful in our careers. Chill people! Peace!

In denial? i don't think so. dito din me work convergys. dami din kaming galing PS and medyo naninibago nga kami. iba talaga sa PS. yung mga bawal sa floor dito talagang enforced. sa PS hindi. marami ding bawal pero wala pa rin talagang nawa-warning-an. tanungin nyo kaming mga galing PS. sobrang homey dun. bawal kumain pero pati bisor kumakain sa workstation. bawal celfone sa workstation pero dami mong makikitang me cp sa workstation. bawal matulog pero puro unan and kumot sa mga workstations. yung mga workstations personalized with mugs and mga anik-anik ng mga reps. pero syempre pag may mga client visits behave naman kami. AS IN BEHAVE! pero pag wala nang bisita, back to normal ang environment. bawal mag-yahoo messenger pero hindi naman nila mapigilan. pwede kang mag-stay sa workstation mo before/after your shift kung gusto mong mag-internet o manood ng vcd sa station mo. yung PS email account pwedeng ma-retrieve kahit nasa labas ka ng office.
yun lang mase-share ko pero syempre wala na ako dun. adjusted na rin ako dito somehow.

Pagkain: Sayang naman ang pantry kapag di mo gagamitin. Kung kakain ka lang din sa workstation mo we might as well convert all the floors to a pantry area. Saka isipin mo kung kakain ka sa workstation mo o kumain yung mga katabi mo tapos minsan may crumbs o mumu na maiiwan after dahil hindi mo nalinis o di mo napansin, the next thing you'll know eh yung mumu o crumbs ay buhat-buhat na ng bubwit na langgam o kaya'y maging feeling mo ay nasa pelikulang Starship Troopers dahil may nakitang alagang ipis na tumatakbo sa mesa mo.

Input lang po: When the center here in Ortigas was still pretty new, siyempre, di pa gaanong ka-strict di ba? I was really pissed off to find the workstation where I usually sit in pretty messy (I'm talking softdrink cans and snack crumbs all over the table). Pretty professional, right (and yes, I'm being sarcastic,and I am exaggerating)?

I attended most of the Convergys business briefing held yesterday at Tektite and found a lot of interesting things about Convergys. Allow me to give a summary of what happened last year and what will happen this year:
What was achieved this year (2003):
- in a span of 4 months, two fully-operational sites were put up (makati and ortigas)
- as of yesterday (Feb. 5), about 1,120 employees were hired of which about 3 in every 10 applicants were taken in (I'm not hundred percent sure about this though, but the rate given to us was very impressive).
-attrition (which is not a word in the dictionary, accdg. to our Country Manager) rate was kept at a minimum
-there were about 21 client visits, all of which gave a "more-than-favorable" response
-the program that I belong (tech) received an "A" rating from the cleints themselves, this being a first for an offshore Convergys center in it beginning stages (less than a year)
- I kinda forgot the others so if any of the other Convergys peeps can add some, please feel free to do so (same is true for the goals for 2004)
Goals for 2004/2005
- Alabang site should be fully operational by September, Cebu site by October (both sites having obtained a piece of land and is in the process of putting up a building for each site)
- 2 sites in QC (Araneta Center and Commonwealth) will also be put up within the year (If I'm not mistaken, by October)
- the 31st floor in Tower 1, Enterprise, Makati is due this March to serve as venue for more training rooms and workstations
- 14 training rooms will be set up in Insular Life within the year
- more Makati sites are being looked into for 2005
- like I said, this is only a partial list. Wait and see na lang tayo!
(Damn! This is so exciting.)

Ooops..sorry. I wasn't aware that you're in Cebu. What I meant was visiting any of the Makati or Ortigas offices. Since you're in Cebu, another option is to email your resume. I forgot the email address. Tulong naman CVG peeps. In the meantime, you can also email me your resume: una_dagmar@yahoo.com.

I'm not really sure how quickly applications are processed nowadays since I'm part of the earlier batches and the selection process was pretty quick. If you do decide to apply or to check out the booths at the jobfairs, you can ask anyway.
I do admit that I'm also apprehensive about the rapid expansion plans of the company. Who wouldn't be considering that the company isn't even a year old. However, I still feel that our resources are strong. The comapny has been pretty stable and recognized worldwide, so I assume that our big boss won't let us down, as long as we produce results efficiently, speedily, and effectively.

In terms of looking into content, PST will depend on which program you shall be assigned to. Naturally, the tech support program will be more technical in nature (hehehe-well, duh!).
Passing PST will rely on your ability to participate in class, attend training sessions, and be able to comprehend the modules as well as apply them.
CCT is a lot different in such a way that it can be more fun than PST. But in PST, you will find what you need more on the floor.

Who said most of the previous agents were tekkie? We all had the same reaction as you did, sweetie. Admittedly, certification/proficiency is easier now than it was a couple of months ago. Stick to the call flows and sound confident (even if you're a nervous wreck).
After about a month on the floor, it'll be a piece of cake. Besides, you have great floor support, so don't you worry about getting the 1st call jitters (as well as proficiency jitters).

Tanong lang diyan - Yung tekkie exam ba optional yun pag gusto mong kunin for tech placement? Is Convergys limited to IT tech support or do they have other clients for the people who have better strengths in other fields (e.g. finance, marketing, pharma, etc.) Paano yan pag bagsak ka sa tekkie? Gudbay na ba o dey will assign you to another client who fits your background?
Pakilinaw lang po. Dami kong kilala gusto mag-apply diyan eh. :)

I'm sorry but it's not a goodbye for non-techie agents. The reason why the tech exam was given is to actually screen out those who can't handle the tech account. If they see that you have potential (even as a non-tech rep), they'll hire you no matter what.
By the way, we have two types of reps (for now) the Technical Customer Care Reps, and the Customer Care Reps (non-tech). Just make sure you know which one to apply for based on your capabilities.

There's nothing like that written on my contract.
But as far as I know there are performance appraisals for salary grading yearly.

im surprised that a lot of current Convergys employees are giving information that should have been kept among themselves as per the contract that you guys signed...
caution: dont give out too much info in public threads cause you might get noted on that. better use the private message option cause some Convergys HR peeps are also PEXers
:D

Thanks for the heads up. Is it possible for you to mention exact instances so that this won't be done again?:)

Interesting...I've always asked myself this question: "How far is too far when it comes to divulging information about Convergys?"

Hmmm... alam ko bawal i-divulge anything pertaining to salary (bonuses, raises, net gross, deductions, etc)
bawal din sabihin ang clients/account ng company
bawal din sabihin ang mga computer software and products na ginagamit ng company
yung iba di ko na maaalala.... sabi nga nila just use the private message options.

the thing is, you'd know which information need not be divulged, by instinct and with the guidance of your contract
like the application system because giving steps and an idea how the recruitment system flows depletes the purpose of catching the applicant "off-handed." we also test the readiness of the applicant. and of course, you're giving these people a headstart over the people who go through the process on their own with no idea at all. like wave 1.
obviously, the compensation, programs, and trainings you've undergone should not as well be disseminated... duh
take note: almost everything handed down to you guys has a phrase at the bottom of the paper stating that these info are confidential
