A call center is a place where customer and other telephone calls are handled by an organization, usually with some computer automation. Call centers allow companies to outsource customer service functions to reduce costs and focus on core business activities. Call centers handle both incoming calls from customers seeking information or support, as well as outgoing calls for telemarketing, sales, and debt collection. While call centers provide benefits to businesses, they are also subject to criticism from both customers and employees regarding issues like scripted interactions, long wait times, repetitive tasks, and stressful working conditions.
