Pros

Excellent benefits - health, life, 401k - it seems like a small thing, but you also get free or discounted internet, phone and cable services.. Decent vacation and sick time allowance. Good collateral budget and training. Very high income potential.

Cons

Their catch and release philosophy is for customers and employees. For customers you sign them but then pretty much are unable to help them once they are installed - billing questions etc. they have to call into CS, which apparently isn't pleasant. I don't know what the employee attrition rate is but in this position it is very high, within a year of training only there was no one but me left from class. Things are changing but the biggest frustration has been in compensation, it is totally feast or famine - and even when you are projecting a feast of a month there are a million ways someone else in the company can sideline you.

Pros

The two best reasons for working at Charter are the quick access to healthcare and that if you live in the Charter service area you pay almost nothing for your services.

Cons

Retention call center management set criteria that has no chance of being met. Pay - even with commission - is low for the stress. Many people on discipline due to unrealistic rules. Call center employee turnover rate is very high. Management favoritism is pervasive.

Pros

Loosely run ship. You won't be micromanaged. When it suits management, there will be company activities.

Cons

You will be pressured to work unpaid overtime, although it is "your choice." The sales standards are absurd. Management has no idea how the day to day business is actually run.
