Pros

Honestly can't think of one pro from working here.

Cons

Was told conflicting information every other day pertaining to "what is expected of you and your performance." First it was "this is NOT a sales position. You'll be providing customer service and assisting customers with their routine account needs." Next, in training was informed that we "must offer their non-regulated products & services on every eligible call." Then we're told via e-mail what our "sales goals" are for each month on the products/services we were previously told all we had to do was "offer." As I stated to management when I was reprimanded for "not offering/selling their products, I don't think an elderly customer who clearly has memory troubles should be someone I'm offering to as they could barely remember their SS or DOB. Still, was told those are "eligible" calls and should be offering/selling to the customer. Not to mention, why are we required to offer products for customer during inflation and people are having a hard time already without the "added charge" on their bill. This place is beyond ridiculous with their horrible business practices and what they expect from their employees.

Not a good company to work for.

Pros

Easy access and lots of work to perform.

Cons

Poor management. Middle managers are always coming and going. Upper management is disconnected with technical staff. The company looses all the good engineers due to poor management execution. Their KPI (key performance indicators) program they say is to help the overall group, but the company actually uses the kpi's to badger employees on performance. There is no pier review process....just one bad apple spoils the bunch! Toxic work environment with long term employee clicks that talk condescendingly to other's to control outdated processes that need to go. They have no real internal training thats is worth a darn. In short, you will be lost when you start and will be lost when you leave. Go for the better salary elsewhere!
