Pros

Decent benefits, products ok, commission fair, decent next level management

Cons

Crazy micomanagement, unrealistic expectations for the most part. Ok if you want to go back to grammer school at middle age.

Pros

- Entry-level pay is great - Benefits are good - Commissions on sales, good payout - No call scripting -- to an extent. You can be yourself on the phone - Fun job, helping customers resolve internet connection issues or bad TV service. Helping a customer in need can feel very rewarding

Cons

- Don't be fooled. The job description says that you're basically a technical support/customer service representative, however once you go through training and learn how to troubleshoot, you'll come to find out that it's actually a sales position. - The company's primary focus is sales, even if you're in technical support (which doesn't always make sense). If you're not comfortable making sales/upgrading products and services (channels, HD programming, cable boxes) then this job may not be for you. - Leadership is helpful -- when it comes to making sales. Leadership is not always the best at troubleshooting a customer's problem, which is the primary reason customers are calling you. Typically once you resolve the issue, you are expected to make a sale. Good luck doing that with a customer who hasn't had good TV/internet service for weeks. Expect to be yelled at.

Pros

Great pay all things considered, friendly co-workers

Cons

They have zero respect for their frontline. You are simply numbers producing numbers and are made to feel extremely replacable. Commissions have been restructured repeatedly, always in the company's favor.
