Pros

Higher pay than average job for individual without a degree. Union job with great health benefits and vacation time. Freebies occasionally given out to high performers.

Cons

Extremely rough on employees on making sales goals. Frontier is all about the sales and no focus is on service. You are a SALESMAN. There is no customer service. If a customer calls in to cancel a phone line because their spouse just died, you are expected to stop that cancellation and sell them internet, tv, and internet security in 12 minutes or less. No rest for the weary, you have absolutely no break between phone calls, not even 5 seconds. Expect an entire shift of chaos. Many customers fall through the cracks due to their focus on absolute profit and not service and you are the ear that gets screamed off for letting them down. Also, You are an "emergency worker" in their eye. So if the entire city shuts down due to 7 feet of snow, you are still expected to be there. When I started working here, I was hired in with 40 people. When I put in my 2 weeks, 36 of them were gone. I worked here a year and a half. They have approximately 150-200 Sales Associates in this call center, but probably hire 320 people a year... You do the math.

Pros

The majority of the people are great. You will meet and work with some good people. Benefits were good.

Cons

Too many CONS to list here... Lousy, unreliable internet product in 80% of their areas. Company is trying to position themselves as an internet service company, but the majority of their customers "may" get 3 megs of download speed. (Usually less.) Nobody is making any money. The people who "made their numbers" were usually cramming accounts. The company as a whole doesn't give a crap about it's employees. YES- there are GOOD people you'll work with. Lot's of them, but vast majority of my co-workers were miserable. HQ touts a "one call resolution" mantra, which is complete nonsense. They ONLY care about "new" sales. I was fired for not meeting my quotas, but I had 5 out of 5 star ratings for my service. My managers openly told me to quit focusing on customer service and sell. So much for one call resolution. The manager who hired me was fired for running a scam with Dish to get "new customer" calls routed to his team! (But the constant quote from managers is that calls are "totally random." Nonsense! If you're in the deadbeat account /angry customer / cancel call queue, you're doomed. You will be hounded for sales, but never once praised for saving a cancellation due to a PO'd customer. STAY AWAY!!!

Pros

Money was good, Benefits are great, Nice work environment.

Cons

What we were told in training isn't what happened. Training tells you no caps on commission BS ! Upper management even told us not going to pay high commissions. Someone better explain to them in commission sales capped is a bad word!
