Pros

Remote options (stipulations). Room for career growth (if you can get out of the support trap). Clearly stated goals. Good communication. Good people. Metrics and sales driven. Merit increase and bonuses yearly (nothing exciting - low to average).

Cons

KPI focused to the point of confusion. They use an employee scorecard and rank each employee. KPI's are the same for every software ECI owns, big or small, disregarding the individual challenges of each software. The case resolve goal is the same for all of them. Easy software or hard software. And its not really a goal. You have to make your numbers. It's luck of the draw if you get hired into a software where you can actually make all of your KPI requirements. And be prepared to see yourself ranked at the bottom if your helping them support a large software. Clap for the people at the top working in the easy software. There are major flaws in the scorecard. It's not fair at all. Employees are pitted against each other. We don't even want to help each other now. No credit given for helping train up the new employees unless the training is like a half of day long. Which is impossible because management wont take people away from resolving cases day after day for real employee training. It pretty much fend for yourself with hardly any training materials. Anyone who ever knew the software already left anyway. There's no dedicated training staff. It's a fail, fail situation. You can work remote full time if you were hired remote - even if your not meeting your numbers. But if you live kind of near an office you have to work from the office until you make all of your numbers. Even if there's no one from your same software in the office. It's pretty childish. It's like punishment for not making your KPI's but the punishment only applies to certain people. It's just another example of unfairness that management is oblivious to. All in all, ECI used to be a great place to work. But the focus on people has dropped from the top priority to the bottom of the list. If you get interviewed, make sure it's with an easy software so you can make your numbers and not stress out all the time. Avoid the software where people are ranked at the bottom of the scorecard. They do have a free mental health mental day. But they made some of support work anyway. Everyone else in the entire company got the day off. Thats about how support is treated in any situation.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and we are sorry you had a bad experience. We would like to address a few points that you’ve mentioned as we feel there are some misunderstandings. First, we’d like to note that we measure our agents on their performance, within product teams, and the broader organization. This allows us to compare agents supporting a product to each other first and foremost. We do offer a very liberal and clearly articulated work from home policy, which allows our employees to control their own destiny. As long as they meet their targets, they are free to work from home, which we believe is essential for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Regarding our Well-being Day, we do ask that a small portion of our employees work that day to ensure our small and medium enterprise businesses had the support they needed to continue to use our software to run their businesses. However, each and every one of those employees who was asked to work were given another day off to ensure they were able to participate in the spirit of that day and take care of their well-being. Finally, we would like to assure you that we are continually looking for ways to improve our support teams’ training and standardize it across all products. We understand the importance of providing consistent and effective support to our customers, and we are committed to making improvements where necessary. We thank you for your feedback, and we hope we have the opportunity to clear up any other concerns in the future.

Pros

Some good people but poor management.

Cons

Like most companies they are not trustworthy. Buy companies and then let most of the employees go and outsource work overseas.
