After about a year in a call center within the financial industry I finally got an offer.. from a completely different company ! 😄 I started here fresh out of college bc they paid for my licenses and swore they “promoted” from within. My ass lol. I think what they meant was they promote call center roles from within the call center. After about 11-12 grueling months I realized that there had to be a way out since they required you to be there for 18 months within the call center to get to any other positions. I’m shocked I even lasted that long. I used to come on here and be jealous of everyone that would quit. I wanted to stick it through for a promotion to the backend of the company. That didn’t happen. I just worked on my resume and I started applying for different jobs in sourcing and logistics. After a lot of resume adjustments, applications and finally rounds of interviews I ended up getting 2 offers from 2 different companies. It was literally the light at the end of the tunnel for me. It feels like I was born again. I hated it for months. I hated everything about it. I hated my gutless manager the lazy people I worked with. I started turning into one of them. I knew there was no out for me there. I ended up accepting an offer to start a week after I get my bonus. I’m basically collecting the bonus and planning on quitting on the spot. I feel like it will feel good just to be able to be above my manager for once. I feel like I had been all over the place with this rant, but really this is just me coming on here to say I finally made it out to something better than I never imagined.
To anyone looking to get out, you can and will. A call center is like jail, for people that have no ambitions with their lives and don’t want to get out. Just apply for other roles and don’t stop interviewing til you get something that you really want. Trust me it will come.
Don’t wait on the empty promises and “potential” from working at all call center unless you love it. Life is too short to be spending your time at an ambitious-less job for scrubs. I literally felt so worthless about myself that I was surrounded by people working the same dead end job for years they all hated.
I know a lot of people work in call centers, and it’s needed. But if you don’t love it and you want to get out, get out now. Just quit and figure something else out if it really comes to be that bad. I waited to get my bonus, it ended up working out, but it would’ve worked out either way.
Either way. I can’t explain how happy I am to be out. Time to begin life. Thank you for listening.
