Pros

There are some great supervisors. The work is very fast paced and you'll always have something to do. The starting pay is pretty good, but that comes with a con. Co-workers are generally very nice and are willing to help out if asked.

Cons

It's an internet and cable provider so you can assume the types of calls you'll be getting. The companies major customer base are higher end HOA and 55+ communities. Customers will range from just plain evil to some of the nicest and understanding people you'll ever speak to. Be prepared to explain things very slowly and simply as the majority of customers will be elderly, but if you're patient and kind with them they will usually return in kind. You will not get any increase in payment unless you're promoted and getting promoted is not the easiest thing in the world to do here. Training is also quite dismal. Once you're on the floor taking calls you will pick everything up quickly if you put in the effort, but be prepared to be quite lost for a month or so.

Pros

The only Pro is your co workers are nice

Cons

This is the absolute worst company you can ever work for. First they will run a bait a switch with the position they hire you for. They will hire you for a tech support position and you will end up doing straight customer service. Training is horrible because turn over rate is so high they cannot keep reps on the floor long enough to properly train new reps. During the interview they will tell you that you will work certain days and after training they will give you a complete different schedule. Their office looks like an old slave plantation and they treat their employees like slaves and make you do mandatory overtime with no exceptions. Pay sucks and they cant keep talented people long enough because this company is a joke and only good for an in between job.Their product is so bad you will spend your whole day hearing customers saying " Wotwire sucks" ( and the employees agree) , and being cursed out all day by racist customer. They are always having outages and their service is always down and you have to lie to customer and tell them they will be back up soon because the lack of communication between the remote tier 2 team and the field team. Half of the time we dont know what to tell customers because we dont know ourselves.Get your stuff together Hotwire!!! This Company will not be open for long and will end up losing all of their contracts because how bad their product and service is. If I could give this job a -100 rating I would. Please stay clear of this company if you can. Nobody that works here is happy by any means.
