call center agents
Telephone support staff
Call center agents are employees who handle customer communications by phone, chat, or email, typically working in centralized facilities with rows of workstations.
They field inquiries, resolve complaints, process orders, and provide technical support, often following scripts and meeting metrics for call volume and resolution time.
The role is associated with high turnover, repetitive interactions, and customer frustration: The call center agents were trained to de-escalate angry callers.
