Speaking of that....
Has anyone heard of instances where people have gotten reprimanded or terminated due to dog barking?
I know it won't be an issue when I go live since I will not have customers hearing it. (I'll be email support) but I'm concerned about training.
I have 3 dogs and while I've worked with them (and will continue to do so) and they are generally pretty good, they do have their moments. And sometimes it takes a minute to get them to stop.
I need and want this so badly that I'm just trying to avoid any situations where I could jeopardize my career.
With apple?? No I have not heard of that.
However I think ANY background noise, with ANY call center is a major issue.
I have worked with other WAH companies and have heard of people being terminated due to door bells ringing constantly, music, tvs, dogs and cats.
So if you are a chat rep that doesnt have to get on the phones or rarely you might be ok.
But if you on the phones alot, yes its a major issue.
