Had a couple of calls, it was a pretty easy process. They wanted me to do a jab, which was a dealbreaker for me. It seems like a cold-calling environment, which isn't a very effective sales strategy these days.

It was a pretty standard interview process for the call center. I was asked questions like "how would you handle this situation", or "what was the most complicated situation you had to deal with with a customer in your last job".
