Pros

- Laid back for the most part. - Friday and weekends is dress down day. - Decent pay for amount of work you put in compared to other call centers. - Employees were fun to work with while I was there. Everyone has the same mindset about the company. - When there is a rare slow day when calls are minimal, you don't really have any other duties.

Cons

- Lack of resources - Lack of 2nd level technical support. - Lack of management support. - Close to zero opportunity to be promoted or move up in the company (though they say otherwise in the interviews.) - Company policy is: No raises. - Company is not organized at all - constantly changing how things are done. - Departments do not work well together. Billing and Network departments treat Customer Service like they are a waste of time. - Dispatch department is a joke. Never heard of so many missed appointments or complaints about technicians in my life. Techs never show up and dispatch agents cover for them. - Took away our water cooler because they refused to pay for water. We complained enough so that they put a filter on the sink in the office.. The WORST thing is - Customer Complaints If you want to work here, be ready to get constantly abused by customers over the faults of other departments with almost no support from your supervisors - whether you are in Customer Support or Technical Support. I'm sure it's like this in every Customer Service position, but these customers are mostly high-end and already think they are better than you before calling in to complain.

Pros

Remote start and some remote work.

Cons

Does not care about employees, over works and under pays, you are a number not a person that is not entitled to a work life balance. Benefits are awful. Management believes in slave driving practices or you will be replaced. The worst company I've ever worked for and do not recommend.

Pros

Manageable workload and local offices were well kept

Cons

VPs and above didn’t focus on employees. All regions were siloed and treated as if they were part of a different company. CEO didn’t make her way to appreciate all employees
