Pros

Good pay. Nice work environment and thorough training.

Cons

Not all call centers are held to same metrics making other centers' jobs very difficult. Commission structures change every 3-6 months. You are measured by your metrics, but they mean nothing in the long run. Certain billing centers are advised not to transfer customers for a possible save attempt and you are held responsible for that, not the rep that didn't transfer the customer.

Pros

You have the freedom to customize your workspace and call flow, within reason. If there is time between calls, you can read, play solitaire, or do other quiet activities at your desk. They provide a lot of training to try to keep you informed. Charter provides a lot of incentives for sales.

Cons

They changed pay a lot, and not for the better. Management is usually bound by corporate and has little control over policies and procedures. A lot of times there is little to no explanation of why things change. If there is a family emergency or weather related problem, they are not flexible. You get written up for those types of things. There are a lot of expectations of you on the phone calls, and customers can be very stressful, even downright mean. Very gossipy, cliquey place to work, but also made good friends too. Departments are very inconsistent and there is lots of cheating, both making customers upset.
