Pros

the benefits are all paid for by the company, pay is good

Cons

Lied to about making sales, managers pick favorites, metrics are ridiculous, everything is black and white. When i started they rushed through training because they did a mass hire which meant another group was hired right after my group making our 4 weeks of training 2 weeks. Instantly we were told "sales arent required but if you dont tell them the promotions you will get written up". They tell you that if a customer wants to cancel to try everything to get them to stay even if that person calling is a family member of the account holder who just recently passed. Example, a woman called to cancel her mothers account and i HAD to try to make her keep her dead mothers account making it extremely awkward. This woman is clearly still grieving but im suppose to ask her "hey do you wanna maybe keep this acc in your name?" or "why dont you buy a phone and add yourself to the account". You'd think you could get away with not trying to convince them but twice a month two of your calls are randomly selected by your sup to be listened to and if they don't hear you trying to stop them you get in trouble.

Pros

Its a job but keep looking

Cons

-Unethical and inadequate training -No benefits for 90 days -Unable to miss any time for 90 days even for emergencies Lack of care from supervisor as a employee in training had a difficult time breathing and got dizzy and the supervisor was more worried about the call -High employee and customer turnover rate -Losing avg of 1500 customers a day -Wear too many hats cust serv, sales and tech for such little pay. -Supervisors are bound by outdated policies and won't help customers or employees when requested. -Owner is less patient and outdated but expects so much more from employees dealing with old angry confused customers. -Owners promote English speaking ONLY which brings a lot of racist customers and employees are trained to refuse service to anyone that doesn't speak English.
