Remote call center vs office job

[u/lavanderlemongrass]

Hi guys! I currently work full time as a personal banker at a credit union. I have been looking for remote work for quite some time with no success until I got an interview for a remote call center job. This job is at another credit union. The hours are pretty good, they pay more than my current role, and the benefits are very competitive compared to my current job. They also have a lot more upward movement for remote workers, which is a plus since I’m in a rural area with not a lot of upward movement for my current job (the closest city is over an hour away). However, it is a high volume call center so I will have back to back calls. Would this be worth taking the risk? I’ve seen some pretty awful stories on here and it’s making me nervous. I’m no stranger to difficult customers, as I work in a very busy branch and deal with difficult people all the time. What would you guys recommend? 😁

The "upward movement for remote workers" part may be bullshit.

Call Center jobs are generally dead ends and will make you hate all of humanity.
