Pros: I appreciate the generally fixed shifts as a Customer Service Representative here, which helps with planning. For a BPO company in Manila, that's pretty good. You usually know your schedule weeks in advance, which is a big plus.
Cons: The biggest downside is how mandatory overtime can just pop up, messing with your work-life balance entirely. Working weekends for certain client accounts is common, which makes it hard to have a social life outside of work. It can be exhausting.
Advice to Management: Try to implement more predictable scheduling for overtime and weekend shifts. It would really help us, especially as customer service agents, manage our personal lives better. Consistent schedules could improve morale.
