Pros

Work from home. That's about it.

Cons

Support.com provides service for Comcast. As a Remote Service Tech you are expected to solve the customers problem with hardware or software with a very short time frame. Which is fine for me as an experienced technician. But here's what they don't tell you when you are hired. They add to your job up-selling services and collections, and they what it done within the same time frame as a regular technical call. If the customer needs to have a technician go to their home, there is a good chance they will not show up. You will then get the bunt of the customers dissatisfaction. In addition you will be trying to assist old people, non-technical people as well a people that will start the call screaming at you. These calls take time to resolve. You have 2 choices, take care of the customer and resolve the problem and take a hit on your time on each call or rush through the call and hope for the best. I asked many times whether its better to spend a little more time and satisfy the customer or to end up with a call back. The answer I got back tells you everything, "We don't care how many times they call back, get on and off the phone as quick as possible!" That sums up Support.com

We have never been an employer who focuses solely on how much time is spent with a customer. We want efficient service for our customers, because that is what they demand. No one wants to be on the phone for longer than necessary, however, we want you to take your time to resolve the issue so the customer does not call back. We support the time it takes to satisfy a customer!
