Startek was my first BPO company. I owed everything I learned from them. Although the salary is not very competitive but its ok for the first timer or fresh from BPO

Productive and fun workplace.
Senior Engagement Specialist (Current Employee) - Makati City - December 9, 2022
Employees are friendly and helpful, the environment was positive and upbeat, and the technology was up-to-date and efficient. I had the opportunity to work with a variety of customers, and I was able to gain valuable insights into the customer service industry. The company provided ongoing training and support, which was incredibly beneficial. I was able to gain a better understanding of the industry and develop my customer service skills. The management team was also very supportive and always available to lend a hand if needed. Overall, I had a great experience working in a BPO company. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a rewarding career in the customer service industry.
Pros
RNR Activities, Incentives

good for newbies in building & honing their skills, bad management.
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Makati City - November 25, 2022
I've been in the BPO industry since 2004. Here's what I can say...good for BPO starters, below average market salary, no salary increase when you hit the ceiling, very limited growth, very strong office politics, doesn't give feedback when you apply for promotions, the worst call center I've been through.
Pros
easy magenta LOB, has bidet
Cons
below average market salary, strong office politics, bias promotion, bed bugs, poor cybersecurity, moral code not being implemented, income centric company

This is my first BPO company and the best ever!
Inbound Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Pasig - September 25, 2022
The pay here will satisfy you! I was a newbie in the BPO industry that time. My English skill is just a basic one. I don't even understand the customer when I took my first call. But my team specially the support and my supervisor was supportive. They'll let you make a mistake and patiently teach you after. Yeah, I became one of the top Sales Rep here. Sadly company got financial problem before and a lot of accounts were pulled in out. So I resigned 🙁. Now the company pulled through but I didn't go back because my home is too far from it and I'm ashamed applying again when I left when the company was down.☹️

Fun workplace
Technical Support Representative (Current Employee) - Pasig - July 26, 2022
This company is a good start for freshers that are planning to join the BPO industry, However the salary for the workload that you receive is not sufficient enough for the amount of fatigue and stress. The good thing is the work environment is really great and can be able to attain a massive knowledge and experience.

Nice ambiance of pantry with enough drinks and coffee which I enjoyed.
Customer Account Executive (Former Employee) - Eton Tower Ortigas - March 23, 2022
I have worked here in a relaxed way as the perks are provided such as the free drinks of different flavors of coffee as well as juices and ice teas. There are good sleeping quarters. The ambiance of pantry is fine. I suggest the production area should have divisions for different teams. As for me, my stay here is just fine even though I experienced dissatisfaction on their leadership team.

Good company but not so good HR
CSR - Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Pasig - October 26, 2021
I worked here for 2 years and I really love the company. Low salary but the healthcard really helps me a lot. I also one of the beneficiary of WIN project for my son's funeral, they gave me a financial support and that really means a lot to me. I'm thankful for that. We have a very professional Supervisors too. We are working on blended account and a lot of LOB but the salary is still the same. But I stay, because the account are not toxic, it was a very easy account and a friendly colleagues. I decided to resigned because of some disappointments. The HR team didn't do their job well. Especially on the teams that handle the referral incentives. After 5 mos they advised that my referrals are not eligible for the referral incentives that was posted on their page. After a month I decided to resigned and reach out to the Company Director first before they gave my Valid referral incentives. After how many follow ups finally they gave me the referral incentives after I get my final pay.
Pros
Healthcard, WIN like charity project, Professional Supervisors, Friendly collegues, Free Swissmiss, Hazard Pay during Pandemic, Easy account, Paid OT's.
Cons
Referal incentives, Low salary.
