Not what it used to be

Pros

Good hourly rate, for a company that offers full medical benefits it's pretty good. Great bonus potential. The nice customers are awesome. Most of the Supervisors really care about you.

Cons

Upper management is clique and you definitely have to be a way overachiever if you want to be successful. I started out wanting to eventually promote to Sup since I have previous sup experience but The supervisors seem to be way overworked and don't have time to spend with their team on a regular basis. They always seem to be in a meeting or on their computer looking like they have more work then they have time to do it. Then when they meet with us they want to get you in and out so they can get on to the next because they get 30 mins a day to meet with us. We are lucky if we get one meeting a month. I hear a lot of my coworkers say the same thing. We want time with our Sups and we want them to look happy again. I want to be a sup to develop reps and form strong work relationships (this has been proven to cause long term employees and less call outs)not to be a glorified secretary. They are having contests to get people to work OT but you aren't eligible if your not meeting all metrics. Most of my team aren't meeting CPH so they are willing but not eligible.

Pros

It was nice of them to come and move into the old T-Mobile building in town and to raise up the pay for Customer Service Representatives. The owners are also really trying to make it fair to the employees by adjusting goals when they are too lofty to achieve.

Cons

The local leadership states that they have an open door policy and that you can come to them with any feedback without retribution but that is not the case. If you suggest or comment on something that you feel is not working locally in that call center you will be suspended or fired for another reason. Once you give feedback that you are not going to go along blindly with every change that they locally want to make that is not company wide, you might as well put your notice in to quit. The HR department will claim to be there to protect you but they are clearly there to protect the company. The local leadership can say whatever they want and expect their supervisors to not mirror that behavior, they also have instilled a very "cut throat" competitive mentality in their supervisors making them a very difficult group to work for and causing a hostile work environment. During most of the meetings with supervisors, the local leadership was very sarcastic and non motivational. They will say that they are not micro managers but they truly are in a passive aggressive way. The culture in Redmond does not create trust but it does create fear. They also already know who they want to promote before it happens so if you are not one of those folks that has been "ear marked" for promotion don't bother to apply.

Pros

bonus every month depending on how well you did. Company meetings with free stuff. Many different schedules to choose from. It was an easy interview.

Cons

Very strict attendance and the pay is okay but it could be more due to the fact we have to handle customer service, Sales and also Technical Support and handle angry customers
