Pros

Having a Job in this market.

Cons

Daily beyond unrealistic expectations. You have to be perfect to meet expectations. Upper management does not live in 2025 they live in the 80s or 90s with archaic practices. Micro management. A culture of doesn’t matter what happens in your day you are expected to fix it. Customers getting upset that Verizon cut their wires and they put a call back in is your fault and will effect your bonus. Constantly adding work that detracts from your daily activities and bonuses then blaming you for you not getting a bonus.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your candid feedback. It is valuable to us, especially during this period of economic change. We aim for our performance expectations to be challenging yet achievable, and we are concerned to hear that you feel they are unrealistic and require perfection. We consistently review our metrics and management practices to ensure they are fair, relevant, and supportive of our employees' success. We apologize if any of our processes feel outdated; we are committed to modernizing our operational approaches to be competitive and effective in today's business landscape. It sounds like there are significant concerns regarding micromanagement and being held accountable for issues outside of your control, particularly those affecting customer calls and bonus structure. We take this very seriously, as our goal is to foster a culture where employees feel supported, trusted, and fairly rewarded for their direct efforts.
