Pros

You get free cable, internet and phone service. The benefits are pretty good but have changed a lot over the years. Good 401k contributions. Good training program.

Cons

Local management is too "clicky", making it hard to advance. Some of the performance metrics are counter-productive. The company often causes problems with the equipment in customer's homes which cause a huge headache for employees on the front line and in the field. If you try to switch departments, the salary changes and you can't do a lateral move. The last few interviews I had were a huge pay-cut so moving around to gain experience is not economically sensible.

Pros

The benefits are great. The health insurance is decent, you get paid time off (both vacation and sick time), free cable, internet, and phone, and potential to move up in the company.

Cons

The customers are awful. They are either really dumb and/or ignorant, or they're just plain mean. They will make you feel like you're personally responsible for the issues they're having. Being on the phone all day, taking call after call, is mentally draining. Management also has placed a LOT on our plates about what is required of us. There are only 5 factors on our scorecards, but we're really responsible for a whole lot more than that. You can get really great responses from customers, but if you don't follow the script, you're docked quality points.
