I would be more than happy to move to Europe, esp France but I think you know that! LOL!
I worked for a center that had over 500 employees and the entire place was closed after 10+yrs and sent overseas. It's nuts...
At least you deal with people who speak your language. Calling Manila and getting someone who has English as a second language is very hard!

Yea I work holidays too if I am scheduled. I don't mind you get paid a nice wage to work holidays and usually it's not busy.
I have worked in a few call centers. They have a ton or had a ton shall I say where I use to live....before they sent them all overseas!!
I work in one now, for Zales Corp. I deal with online sales and customer service for Zales and their affiliates. I deal with one company in Canada so I get some Canadian callers...and honestly so far they have been the nicest!
I have always preferred retail or CS, they are usually the best jobs for working around a school schedule and they pay well, have benefits, paid time off, OT if you want it and it's there, bonuses and many other incentives. They can be a pain at times but it's better than no job! I usually work my way off the phones and into the admin area or some kind of quality assurance dept. It's not a hard job, people just make it hard when you get people calling and making your life hell from the get go! Much like the method that one member has, well that is not the way to treat any agent on the phone!
