Pros

-Okay starting pay -Friendly immediate supervisors -Easy to use system -Good teamwork oriented culture, lots of help for new reps -Realistic goals and measured stats -Positive reinforcement and great coaching when failing to meet goals -Quarterly bonuses to reward top performers -Strong emphasis on Customer Service over internal metrics. The goal of every interaction is to provide the best experience possible. Management doesn't just say this, they coach it and encourage it at every possibility.

Cons

-Shift bid means you get stuck with shifts you don't want sometimes -Company has a bit of a culture issue where bringing up shortcomings is met with resistance or indignance -Hostile customers -Recurring system downtime and issues with internal tools not working -Training system has transitioned to entirely digital, very hands-off and left to "trial by fire" for most rep education -You will end up working Christmas, Christmas Eve, or Thanksgiving every year pretty much guaranteed -New product launches since I've started have all been absolute disasters. -----Repeated issues with new products to the point where two of them have been removed completely. -An overall failure to beta test launches. This encompasses everything from internal tool updates and website updates to customer facing services like Smart Home, Freestyle WiFi, and MidcoTV. Numerous issues with everything new and seems to have a "ship it and patch it later" mentality when it comes to software development.

Pros

Good shifts. Most major holidays off. I enjoy working with my supervisor and their director. Free internet.

Cons

Everyone above the director position seems to be Losing the heartbeat of what's going on in the world. We're discouraged from asking about cost of living wage increases. I asked in the past and was told to use a financial consultant benefit (lux) which was an insult although they likely didn't realize this. Employee surveys were switched to bi-annual which is a terrible idea. Total compensation is becoming significantly less competitive. We have some employees who drive Ashton Martins to work and others who are worried about how we stay afloat and debt free in this economy. Midco upper management appears none deaf or apathetic to this concern. The company is investing in AI which is disconcerting as someone who would likely lose their job. Sales tools are so antiquated and no end in sight of a viable sales tool (despite over a decade of asking for one). Career progression is stagnant. The only progression offered is a higher sales goal. Sales is a dead end if you have higher aspirations. Quality of life for front end employees has gone downhill since Ben Dold took over. Pat cared about the front line. Ben hardly acknowledges the work we do to keep the lights on.
