Has anyone had good experiences working in collections? My experience is working in chat support for user error issues and stuff like that. I've never done phones or outbound anything. The job I'm considering pays well.

It's always worth a shot. You may love it. I've worked in collections & really enjoyed helping people feel a bit more at ease and hopeful about their abysmal financial situations.

I hadn't really considered that aspect. It doesn't have to be stressful; I could actually be a calming presence to people in a difficult moment.

If you feel comfortable working on the phone, then you should go for it, especially if it pays well. :)

I'm nervous about being on the phone, but I think I could try it for the pay. Thanks!

I'm a people person. That's probably why I enjoy my work. Most collection roles pay well so that's already a plus.

It's a rough job because you're calling people out on not paying their bills. So if you are comfortable with confrontation, then I think it is a great job but if you're conflict-averse then it might not be the right fit for you.

I worked in collections once and it wasn't for me it was a very stressful job
