Pros

Good pay & benefits, fun work environment, lots of potlucks & holiday activities, relatively easy job, great customers, independent work with team-oriented activities.

Cons

EXTREMELY STRICT ATTENDANCE POLICY, favoritism, promotes "work/life balance" but doesn't account for illness, emergencies, previously planned trips, etc., mainly elderly customers with zero concept of technology which makes tech support excruciatingly difficult at times, no retail stores for customers to go to for hands on help/training with their devices.

Pros

Excellent benefits (401K, Profit Sharing, Monthly Bonuses, 100% paid medical/dental/vision) Great Company (rated best companies to work for) Managers and Supervisors are understanding and flexable Professional Environment (managers and supervisors give you room to do your job) Not so strict attendance policy (not really strict, don't know what the other people are thinking) Advancement opportunities (can be promoted based on attendance and experience/skill) Easy to obtain metrics (every call center has these) Lots of PTO and UTO available to take time-off

Cons

Don't believe all of the negative people. The attendance policy isn't so strict nor are the managers/supervisors evil people. Also the advancement opportunities are there if you want them and overall the office environment is supportive. I've on numerous occasions been given great feedback/advice from management/supervisors or my co-workers.

Pros

They have a great benefits health, dental, and vision! Pay was pretty high for a call center, employee appreciation days where they buy the whole building lunch from some restaurant then the higher ups service it to you! Chances to advance are pretty high. They have set pay raises from how long youve been there. Plus they give you Christmas cards with money inside (amount depending on how long youve been there)

Cons

Training is pretty fast, they throw you on the phones right away. Some supervisors are pretty rude and could care less about their reps on their team. occurrences add up fast. They count an occurrences against you for everything. If your a min late from break...guess what? You get a half of occurrences. Call mentoring is lame they mark you for the littlest thing! If you don't have a supervisor willing to go to bat for you, than your overall call scores will fail you which will make you go on a probation and they mess up again on your call scores. You'll lose your job. The people mentoring the calls do make mistakes and if the your sup doesn't dispute your score your SOL.
