High stress for very low pay

Pros

Flexible scheduling, working from home

Cons

This job is high stress and the starting pay is $9 an hour. You get two weeks paid "training" and then you are thrown into the call queue with very little experience and knowledge of what you are doing. The tools they use are outdated and crash a lot. This job is not worth the headache, especially for the little pay that you are earning - it does not match the work and knowledge you are expected to have to perform this job well. Note that I said "perform this job well" - if you are just there to fill a seat and not truly help customers, this job will probably be fine for you, because the goal of this company is to deflect and transfer customers as much as possible, as is the case with a lot of ISP's. Lunch breaks, restroom breaks, and regular breaks can only be taken through a queue system, so expect to wait awhile, especially for lunch. It's a really broken system that is in need of a lot of improvement. One of the ISP's that outsources to Telenetwork hires work from home tech support reps within their own company for $11 an hour starting out, with free internet, just keep that in mind. This is not truly a technical support job, it is a customer service job, and as long as you hit the customer service QA points and meet your call times, you are golden. I personally found this annoying because I am a technical person, and I feel that helping someone fix a problem is more important than reading from a script and making sure to hit call metrics, but that's just me. I would rather take my time and go the extra mile to help a customer, especially since the majority of their customers are elderly people and need a good bit of patient guidance due to not being very technically savvy.

Pros

Freedom Telenetwork doesn't micro manage your work time. The only time you hear from your Team Leader is if there is new information to be trained on or if something is wrong. You have complete use of your own computer to browse the web during down time. You take your lunches and breaks when you want to. Breaks are 15 mins most WAH companys only give you 10 and you can take a lunch up to 1hour most WAH companys give you 30 minutes . The points system is great if you work week end hours and have two weeks of perfect attendance you gain points back instead of having to wait 6 months for a point to roll off.

Cons

The training is only two weeks a week of independent class room training and a week with a mentor. Then BOOM you are on your own. You have to work 36 hours a week to be considered full time to reap benifits. Seems pretty fair and easy well it isn't. They told me when I started this position I would be full time . My Team Lead forced me into part time I did not get full time hours at all. While others got days they wanted off I didn't. I was not told my postion was based on sales it was a night mare. Its hard to get help when you need it. No one is nice about you asking them questions for help. Its either you know it or you don't because if you ask you'll either end up arguing with the people put in place to help you or winging it on your own. You have to have tough skin to work here.

Pros

Great learning experience. Pulled me out of a tough spot when I needed a job right away, and they were rewarded for people who worked very hard.

Cons

Sales sales sales. They will push you into sales, and fire you if you don't keep up. Don't believe anything else you hear during interviews/training. One of the main metrics managers are expected to track is your sales percentage. Communication is difficult to obtain. Don't rely on your boss to know what is happening, because likely he or she hasn't been told yet either. You'll find out what you're doing is wrong only if someone complains and starts pointing fingers. Loyalty at this company does NOT exist. Their business model is based around turn over. They will hire on lots of new people when big contracts/events are coming up, and tighten the noose for layoffs in slow times. Everyone is disposable as this company, from the basic level techs straight out of training, all the way up to Team Managers. Favoritism runs rampant. If you can get to be friends with the upper management, you might last an extra year or two. All of the CEO's immediate family works here, as well as many family members of the upper management. That will factor in when you are seeking a promotion.
