Pros

Unlimited Time Away, Remote locations

Cons

Absolutely nepotistic, in my case the C level individual previously worked with my supervisor and her supervisor. If you crossed one, you may as well start looking for another job. They will put false information on performance reviews, send emails describing conversations that never happened and because of the nepotism, there is no one to reach out to.

Pros

Remote work opportunity is the only pro.

Cons

I’ve never experienced such a lack of professionalism in my entire life. Over half the training class quit, and that should’ve been my sign then but I stayed several months anyway. We’re constantly cursed out by customers and told how they have much better service from other internet providers, and many of us hear this OFTEN. Their systems bug multiple times throughout the day, conflicting information from leadership happens multiple times throughout the day every day, and the speeds are actually extremely slow. Most customers whose accounts I’ve accessed are under 60M. It’s 2023, be for real. The minimum wage for the work that they expect is laughable, especially because the same quality of work is not consistent across departments. The customers can tell that many agents don’t know what they’re talking about and express this often. Brightspeed needs to get it together faster than they claim they are or it won’t last long, as several customers have told me..
