One of my biggest pain points in my daily work is that I work in an extremely large company with many specialized departments. I have to rely on these other specialized departments to resolve client issues. I work face to face with clients as a customer service representative so we are the face of the company, so to speak. Each time I reach out to one of these specialized departments, I am randomly assigned to an employee of that group. Often times, they are inexperienced and do not know how to solve a problem and will pass me off to another department. I will spend countless hours getting the run around and more often than not, I end up back where I started with that original department. Even when I can get a solution right away, sometimes one person will give approval to do something but if I call back again, I deal with someone else and they may say they do not approve the request. It’s extremely frustrating and since we are the ones facing the client , we are the ones who have to deal with the backlash.
