We have a primary call center for our basic services, a "customer service" center for technical support, and other departments that use similar tools for outlying areas of service, like account management, QC audits, installations, etc. People, even newbies, transfer between these positions every day, eventually settling into a position that is the best fit for their personality and skillset. | |

| Jan 7, 2013 at 18:05 | comment | added | David Espina | I think you missed my last paragraph, where I started with, "if you like the company...." Indeed, this guy is free to look, but inside the company I think his likelihood is low to zero. | |
