Pros

Average pay (bi-weekly on Friday next pay date 7.17.20) Flexible scheduling through an app Occasional swag provided Benefits medical/dental/vision/FSA/EAP/401k EAP – 16 free therapy sessions for you, your partner, and household dependents / work & life services

Cons

Con’s Pay - your paychecks will probably be wrong on a very consistent basis and anytime a payroll adjustment is required they drag their feet. Also you will have to choose to get your discrepancy on either a payroll card which can mess up your normal direct deposit or you have to wait until next payday to have the funds sent to your bank. Scheduling – You bid for a schedule once a year if you do not like your schedule tough luck. You can slide your schedule sometimes if you do it far enough in advance but if your coach doesn’t like you they will schedule meetings that you’ll never actually have just so that you cant slide because if you have anything scheduled you cant move. Benefits – employee paid portion is very hefty (ex: I am single w/no kids I pay $220 bi-weekly) Meetings – You are advised and promised that you will have regular coaching and development sessions to talk about how you are doing and what your career plans are and how to get there. Your coaching sessions are scheduled and cancelled every single week because the turnover rate is so high and we’re so busy they cant afford to let you off of the hone for 15 minutes a week to talk to you about how you’re doing. HOWEVER, if a customer gives you a bad rating even for something that wasn’t your fault (example: cx had a bad experience in the store they leave a verbatim about their store experience) you will get a 10 minute coaching session so that you can be reprimanded because their experience with you wasn’t enough to remedy the poor experience the cx had in store so you’re a bad expert. Those sessions are never cancelled. If you need to speak to your coach, manager or HR good luck getting time scheduled to have those conversations you will have to come in before or stay after work (unpaid) or get reprimanded for dipping into your adherence. Programs – All of the programs that you are promised are available for your career growth are non-existent or a lie. I have been attempting to get into the Bachelor of Technology program for 12 months I was supposedly on the waitlist six months later I was told it was being revamped then six months later I was told since call volume is so high the program is currently not available because training and elective programs cannot be scheduled. Peer Advisor is closed, and I just found out not available to WAH experts because you cannot side-by-side while working at home. However, I have in writing from an Ops Manager before I transitioned to WAH that PA was absolutely a possibility and if I was already working on it then the transition would be super easy after coming to the WAH space. Also, Asurion keeps hiring external coaches but have the Coach Apprentice program closed and are not accepting applicants from internal employees for Coach roles at this time. You wont ever be able to attend any ERG meetings because they always happen while you’re working and it is IMPOSSIBLE to get PTO or VTO to get an hour to attend a meeting so just don’t join because it isn’t worth the effort.

Pros

Ok pay, but should be more, Decent Benefits, Working from home

Cons

I thought I found the perfect customer service work at home job, after all, Asurion is a well known brand. I thought this company would be different. I love doing customer service. I am a customer service rep, not a high pressured sales rep. When applying for the job I thought the sales part was just soft upselling products to customers which I am very comfortable at doing, by mentioning the product to customer and sending them any links or emails if they want more info. But this is a intense, ask, ask, ask, rebuttal, rebuttal type sales job that I really just don't care for. The training is more geared toward selling, than learning how to properly process claims for the customer. I am a pretty fast learner, but when you are not getting the right training to do the job, its makes it even more difficult to sell, sell, sell even way. I really hate that I will have to leave, they are losing good customer care reps, like myself. I do like the claims part so much and helping people get back on track with their phones.

Pros

The overall culture of the average person is great. But people are great wherever you go, aren't they?

Cons

They had a DEI push about 4-5 years ago and as a result have over-promoted people who aren't as skilled into positions of (mis-)management. They've had a big public scandal of sexual abuse that was permitted by top levels in the company and covered over by HR until the disclosure grew too big to contain. The CEO wasn't contrite when it came out, he was angry. He talked about holding people accountable, but he sounded like a little kid mad because he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. They are a debt leveraged company and the core product is insurance. They've tried to venture into several other markets, but the efforts have fallen flat. They've now entered a repeating cycle of staff reduction and shipping work overseas, followed by further staff reductions and shipping more work overseas. Two cuts this year. Several cuts last year. Shuttering entire product lines. Buying up companies just to shut it all down a year later with nothing to show for it. The future doesn't look bright.
