Pros

Very uplifting and friendly atmosphere, If you enjoy web hosting and technical support this is a great place to learn new skills from people that are really smart at what they do. QA is very nice and helpful.

Cons

The job is a call center job, no sugar coating that. I wouldn't say typical call center however. You will do chats and calls at the same time. As well as being postured with up to 4 customers in chat with sometimes very complex issues that you are expected to resolve quickly. You will fight tooth and nail to get break and your lunch my be postponed and/or cancelled on occasion if not enough people volunteer their lunch for the sake of volume. Training is almost non-existent in it's current form and they don't pay any attention to you once you leave training. You will be expected to make 6 contacts per hour which may not sound like a lot but with the complexity of the issues and the type of customers that have 1,000 questions you will find it increasingly difficult to hit that number. Don't expect to have weekly interactions with your manager or be coached on a regular basis on your progress, you will fend for yourself in this environment. The turn over in much higher than any typical call center I've ever seen. They put a lot on their workers and some thrive in this environment as it is the standard in the web hosting industry. You will be paid fairly while you get started but that pay will drop off and you will be expected to be hitting over your 6 CPH and pass quality before you can make enough in bonuses to make what you were making during your training phase. It's very tough to get a stable footing in this company and if you don't have at least 2-3 years in a large web hosting company doing 3+ chats concurrently, and having your breaks and lunches postponed please don't take a job here. For your sanity, this is not what you are looking for as average technical support.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are glad that you found our environment uplifting and friendly and that our QA team was able to assist you during your time with us. · To best support our customers we do have minimum performance requirements in place to support our customer’s needs being met. While team members are eligible for bonuses when they exceed requirements such as contacts per hour and quality scores, new team members are provided with a grace period to meet requirements after completing our training program. Our training program is flexible to allow team members to move at a pace consistent with their skill level and experience. New hires are generally out of training in 6 weeks, but some team members finish before 6 weeks and some team members have graduated training after 8 weeks. · We apologize if you did not feel like leadership team members were available to support you; they actually have requirements around coaching and providing feedback to team members so generally they are very diligent in directly responding to request for assistance or assigning another team member to assist if they are not available. · In regards to times when volume is high, we do request volunteers to adjust their schedule and/or lunch breaks to assist customers. We do admit that while we have a number of team members that enjoy the ability to earn overtime dollars, others really enjoy their lunch break, that is why we first begin with a request for volunteers. · With continued customer growth our staff does have to adjust accordingly. We ended August with 13 internal promotions, this does not include new team members. While this does create a lot of change occurring at one time, we do enjoy promoting from within and seeing team members grow professionally. We acknowledge and respect that this environment was not a fit for you. But we really do appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback. We always assess input for opportunities to improve, as we want InMotion to be a positive experience for all team members. If you have any further feedback or questions for us, feel free to contact us at hr@inmotionhosting.com.
