    That is because it even out the playing field. Di graduate pero kumikita ng mas malaki compared to graduates. Nainggit yung mga pro.

    Also, some employees are palengkera. Kaya nagkakaron tuloy nang impression na 2nd rate job sya.

    Mukhang yun nga bro. But that's the reality - the job market is also subject to the laws of supply and demand. Heck, PBA players earn more than many doctors, engineers, lawyers but obviously the latter have more crucial jobs. Just that the PBA brings in more money which in turn allows them to give higher wages to a small pool of (relatively elite) ballers. That's just the way it is.

    Although when I was job-hunting, the starting pay of BPOs still didn't compare to the starting pay of most traditional job offers I got.

    Maybe compared to nurses and teachers, yes mas mataas talaga BPO - but again that's a function of demand. You can always argue that nurses and teachers have more fulfilling roles in building the society, but at the end of the day people have families to feed and if their meager job can't give them the resources then there's nothing wrong with going for more lucrative pastures in the BPO industry.

    Isa sa mga benchmarks ng mga global shared services companies ang mga BPOs for salaries and benefits....

    I think it has to do with the culture. The night shift duty forces the employees to re-program their body clock to stay awake at night. This is causing health issues in the long run. They virtually do not have the luxury to go night out or enjoy the weekends or holidays as they are required to support 24x7, so they resort to booze and smoke (and drugs). Of course the pay and the sign-on bonus make it bearable.

    Tama bro. BPO, SSC, GBP, etc. belong to the same industry when comp-ben is considered. Some bigger BPOs have better package than SSCs but are less stable and attrition is quite high.

    My daughter's first job was in the BPO sector supporting the Uber operations. For almost 2 years we seldom see each other as she spent her free time sleeping. She could not join us for weekend mall trips, church visits and vacations as she had to work on weekends and holidays. Rest days were mid-week which she spent sleeping. It was very unhealthy so we finally convinced her to leave the company and look for a day job. Now she is contented with her new day job plus she rides free with the shopping.
