All The Negatives of a Large Corp Plus All The Negatives of a Small One - Customer Support II Media Temple Employee Review

If you're employed here, you'll be overworked & underpaid, despite parent company GoDaddy being a mega-giant with zillions of dollars. IT consultants charge triple digits to do some of the things you're expected to do at $17/hr. You have zero control over your workflow & schedule. You will be put on a very unpleasant shift. You will be reprimanded for meeting quota, because the expectation is that you actually take as many calls as possible. Don't believe anything they tell you in the interview about call volume. It was not abnormal for me to take 40 calls a day; a couple of times, I took 30 calls before lunch. It's ridiculous, considering how technical some of those calls are. You can't catch your breath, because your manager will ride you for being out of the phone queue, even if your queue time is way above your quota. Because, again, the quotas don't really matter. Every call is recorded, and if you deviate even slightly from the correct procedure (i.e. being OK with a customer calling himself "Bob" instead of "Robert" as it says on the screen), for any reason, prepare for an entire 1-on-1 about it if the call gets QA'd. Note that during your early shadowing period, you'll watch reps deviate constantly from procedure & be told that it's better to deviate than make someone upset. This is completely contradicted by management once you're actually taking calls, which is one of a few ways you're set up for stress during the onboarding process. Overall, you're treated like a cog & paid like a dog. The office is neat, but you won't work there. You will never meet most of your coworkers; I never even met my manager.
