This position is normally filled by advancement from CSR I, or, when filled from the outside, requires prior experience.

A CSR II is expected to work productively even in the absence of a supervisor or manager. Employees in this class may be called upon to resolve difficult, sensitive or more complex functions with little supervisory input. Work is normally reviewed only on completion and for overall results.
