Pros

Good pay when exceeding 100% of quota at least 125%, worked remotely, flexibility with work schedule as long as making number. Decent benefits

Cons

worked here for 9 years got fired for going above and beyond to help a few customers with a billing problem after they had called in and was on phone for hours to never get their issue resolved my manager told me to call in and say I'm the customer just to fix their problem, I understand there are customer proprietary policies but this is the last thing i wanted to spend my time doing, just trying to help customer, they listened to my phone conversation calling in to help customer and fired me with no warning.

Pros

Most of Comcast offices are very diverse and backed by a very strong culture. Working as a Xfinity Sales Associate, you are given the freedom to work your turf as you wish. Your schedule is also very flexible as long as you spend 6 hours in the field. Comcast also provide you with the tools (iPad, iPhone, SFA, Sales Support, Customer Account Access) that's needed in the field to escalation problems that may occur. Great benefits (courtesy service) also.

Cons

Since I started working for Comcast, I have seen multiple changes that affects our ability to close a sale, i.e., You cannot place customers deposits on the first bill any more, it's due at the time of sale. There is no way to schedule a job to meet most customer preference. Whatever dates and time-windows are available, that what you get. Before, you could schedule a customer for an 8am-8pm time window to get a better date. Now the biggest one, YOU CANNOT SELL SERVICE to MDUs. Outside of your turf most people will recognize you as a sales rep and most people want to know what types of deals you have. If that person lives in a MDU, you can call in the sale, but you won't get paid for it. So, it make you not want to market yourself like every sales person should. Most of the supervisor became supervisors after these changes took place so it very difficult to get them to understand why it's so hard to hit your quota consistently. To them, it's hit your quota or else, which makes it very difficult to trust that they will escalate the struggles we are having and it affect every reps motivation and confidence everyday.

Pros

You are under the Comcast umbrella, so you can expect to receive payment as scheduled even if your pay is significantly below the industry average.

Cons

If you are placed in the West Palm Beach office I would absolutely turn down the offer. Management has very little to offer in terms of practical advice. Instead, offering up an entire slew of counterproductive and egoistic tips that will make you constantly want to leave your position. Management techniques consist mainly of intimidation, embarrassment, and harassment. You can be certain that management will discuss personal employment matters with other managers of the organization in hopes that they will play accomplice in intimidation. Managements tenure almost ensure that they will. On-top of this, it seems that Management still holds antiquated viewpoints of minorities in the workplace. In a direct conversation with Management, I've heard her say verbatim "You know, I just try to help those people" when referring to African Americans. I've also heard her say things such as "Those people operate on their own time", when referring specifically to some African American employees.
