"The Better Business Bureau gives General Warranty Services its lowest grade of “F� due to consumer complaints about unwanted sales calls and other issues."

"It is also negotiating with the Michigan Economic Growth Authority for tax incentives."

They are scum... I don't know how many times they've called saying that "this is your last notification".... if only it were true..

[LodgeDodger]

Aren't some of these companies under investigation for such activities?

[Linda from Detroit]

There are very few call centers that are worth working at unless one is totally desperate. I've worked as an overseas operator for A T and T and it was very, very stressful...and they are far better than these call center places. Generally the turnover is very high, conditions poor and management is awful. I hope this place doesn't end up being like that, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Will fluency in Hindi or Mandarin be required?

Because, they'll be answering vast majority of calls from India and China, right? I hate it when people try and force a joke to work where it doesn't fit.

They sound like trouble, and it would definitely challenge anyone's belief that any jobs are good jobs, huh?
