Pros

Call center had a lot of pros. NEVER SWITCH TO CHAT!

Cons

When I was working in the call center I loved my job. I got raises often and was a great culture and environment. They offered a new work at home chat position, said you would be making more than you did on the phones. It was a pay per chat instead of the hour but I was hesitant because of this but, figured it is a great company. They wouldn't steer me wrong. There was no support once we went home. The systems we have crash constantly. We do not get paid for the times in meetings, coaching, and other non-chatting activities. Like we were promised. I have been locked out of one of my tools for 3 weeks. The main tool to do my job. The lack of volume has ruined my life. Because of this, I am more than likely going to be homeless next week. I have been trying to go back to the call center for months. No one replies to emails. You are pretty much left to fend for yourself once you start this position. It encourages people to take chats and then immediately close them or ignore customers so long they stop responding. So sadly, those with the worst customer service skills make the most money. Been looking for another job but I fear I put too much faith in this company. As a result. I don't know where i'm going to live in a few weeks and what's next for me.

Pros

The job does pay well and does give you commission and mileage back. It’s 22.05 an hour and .77 cents per mile ( you will drive a lot and your mileage check will probably be the same as your weekly check )

Cons

The job is hyper focused on pushing people to sell VHDP or HTP (VHDP Verizon Home Device Protection ), ( Home Tech Protection ). The job doesn’t really care for the financial situation of a client and will say “ well you could have told them even though they are on a fixed income, they can still get the plan and talk to their ISP about financial hardship “ the staffing is sometimes very scarce and is also very lack of consideration for driving far off with no help if you get stuck. If you happen to have a vehicle issue ( which you will ) you have 7 days to get it back up in running before you get either written up or let go. I did enjoy working for this company, but it was mentally taxing and always was about getting every dollar out the customer even though they already paid for the visit for you to come out, and the phone replacement which they have to pay for monthly. Once you have worked for the company for atleast 90 days you will get a tablet and they will make you start doing Verizon consultation about the customers WiFi and try to sell them these 90 dollar WiFi just so they can make the most money possible. It’s all just give me money even though you already gave me money
