Pros

My team and my mangers are my guiding light.we all trust and support one another, and its inspiring. People leave with bad managers and we are beginning to show this at the upper levels. The teams are small but mighty. You must be resilient and dedicated to thrive here. Keep your head in the game and the passion will flow.

Cons

There are hard times, such as our sudden sale to At&t then another left hook with the spaceX news. Sometimes the devouted teams don't see the full picture, and we must adapt. To keep up. The theme goes "opportunity is number 1 benefit", but unless you step up and hold your own, the support starts to wane .

Pros

Great perks, overtime available at times, great co workers and love helping customers

Cons

Customers yelling at you at 7am before you’ve had your morning coffee, some supervisors micromanaging, the fact that you have to promote promote promote even when customers flat out say no some supervisors want you to keep pushing and that’s honestly a problem for me, if they say no it’s no, we are not in the sales dept. I understand that their numbers are also important but sometimes the pressure is too much, so much so that sometimes I just feel like getting another job if I’m being honest, and I honestly love it but some supervisors do too much, we not only have advanced tech but starlink customers that we have to help, we have a certain time limit for starlink and agents offering starlink to customers then saying” you can call to cancel tomorrow” adds more pressure because now they don’t want you to assist the customer in cancelling now it’s just tickets, tickets is not enough for customers they want a solution not some ticket that’s not going to get them a resolution in a timely manner.
