Pros

Discounted services, tuition reimbursement, FMLA, 401k, paid vacation, sick time, guaranteed 40 hours a week. Food trucks come to sell lunch, training is getting better. Previous senior manager seemed to truly care about organization...but then someone from Time Warner was brought in and turned the department into a trainwreck. He also brought some useless "supervisors" or babysitters into the department who have zero skills on how to coach. Spectrum does not seem to value education, they prefer people who are "off the streets" so that they can pay them less.

Cons

The management is atrocious! The place has had high turnover ever since roles were changed in TCC. Not a supportive or fun environment. Low pay. No incentives at all. No longer have work at home option for top performers. No holidays off. Open 365 days. No commission on upgrades, no designated seat for agents (be prepared for germs and getting sick...and searching for a new desk every single day), business dress every single day of the week (yes even on Fridays and weekends). Micromanagement is affluent here. Be prepared to have supervisors and leads messaging you if you are on the phone helping a customer for more than 9 minutes, they will do anything to rush you off the call. Also, do not even think of looking at a website during your downtime if it's not a Spectrum site. You can't have a magazine or food at your desk. The atmosphere is the exact opposite of what it was at Bright House Networks. It was a pleasure working when it was BHN.

Pros

I've worked as an RCS in the Daytona Beach market and my experience has been very positive. Like any outside sales position, success comes down to attitude, consistency, and following a proven system. The reps who struggle are often looking for shortcuts, while the reps who put in the time, learn the process, and stay coachable tend to do very well. Pros: Strong earning potential with uncapped commissions Flexible schedule and independence in the field Supportive teammates and leadership Excellent products that solve real customer needs. More than most of the competition. Opportunities to grow and increase income over time The biggest advantage is that you control your own results. If you're willing to work consistently, learn from successful reps, and stick to a proven approach, this can be a very rewarding career. This is not a sit-at-a-desk job. You'll be walking neighborhoods, talking to people, handling objections, and hearing "no" along the way. That's part of sales. If you enjoy meeting people, helping customers, and taking ownership of your success, the role offers significant upside.

Cons

The role requires patience, consistency, and resilience. Many of the customers we speak with are former subscribers who may have left due to a past service issue, billing concern, or negative experience. Reps often have to overcome skepticism and rebuild trust before even discussing current products and promotions. There is definitely a learning curve, and success doesn't happen overnight. It takes time to learn the territory, understand customer concerns, and develop the communication skills needed to turn difficult conversations into opportunities. Reps who remain coachable, follow a proven system, and stay consistent with their activity tend to perform much better over time.
