Pros

not working on weekends and nothing else

Cons

1. low wages compared with other providers. be ready to 20 / h. lucky ones or families manager can reach 23 /h). 2. there is not 1 manager with experience or certification in IT. 3. there is no training, just 1 week of pathetic training with one unknowlegeas of the technicians I saw in 20 years of experience. 4. they use an 'on-call week'( nothing that on-call shift) is a 12-16 h shift with no pre-call advice. be ready to wake up in the night to help managers friends to fix 1 TV when they heve other 4 tv at home just for the pleasure of these pathetic and unprofessionals NO ITs people to feel importants. 5. their system ones of the worst ever, their technology 5 years back or more. 5. no respect for holidays.

Pros

Lot's of training and my manager at the time really cared about what we were doing and how we could best assist our customers

Cons

Teams were very segregated, even within your own team it would feel like pulling teeth if you asked in chat for help with something. I would sometime go against what a "supervisor" said we should do as it just did not sit right with me. Example : Senior citizen customer who had limited mobility was moving out of service area (her kids were moving her closer to take care of her) but she could not physically walk around the house to collect/disconnect hardware that belonged to Hotwire. My manager was on time away, and another manager wanted me to tell her if she doesnt she would face up to $300-500 in Unreturned Equipment Fees and that there was nothing else we could do. I was not happy with that at all, I was able to reach out to the on site manager for that community and they were more than happy to stop by that customers house and help collect things. The poor lady was in tears for how we were able to help.
