Pros

Training was really fun and was interesting to learn everything about ISP services. Pay was 17/hr to start so that was kind of nice, especially to work from home.

Cons

This place will drown you with calls if you work in the call center. There were very few days where we weren't 100+ calls deep with only 10 people taking calls. The company has expanded past a threshold where they can keep their SLA's in check. On Top of the World became probably 60 percent of the calls due to poor implementation. Wise (OSP who did the installs) were some of the most trash tech's and did nothing but make our job harder in the call center. They would constantly miss appointments and add new appointments because they were in the area and were paid per install, so they would go door to door to install instead of following the scheduler, which in turn meant that customers who were supposed to get installed one day would be overlooked just because the tech wasn't in the area. It's hard to take pride in your work when you are doing nothing but apologizing about things that are out of your control because of bad business moves. You worked mostly out of 1 program they use called Omnia, but you had at least 10-15 different tabs open with other things to check things for customers (on that note, most of the time some of the main programs would not work so you would have to stall for time), but apparently in April they will be unifying all that into one program. You were expected to keep calls under 10 minutes, which in essence is kind of hard when pushing orders can take 15-20 mins some days. Movement up in the company can be slightly demoralizing because you have to wait a year to be moved anywhere else, and a year in the call center would be tough on anyone. Oh, and it's also mandatory OT in January, and if you happen to be sick in that month at any point, you gain double the amount of points (at 5 they could fire you no questions asked). To top it off, customers are some of the most nastiest people I have ever had to deal with. I have basically been held hostage on a phone with some customers just verbally berating me because there is nothing we can do because we were just in a call center position. Trying to explain to customers that your ISP has nothing to do with netflix will only anger customers because they don't understand, and if it's inconvenient to them, they just get more upset. The service sucks and the call center takes the beating so it's no wonder that turnover is a big problem.

Pros

Pay Attendance policy Genesys/Purecloud system Customers can't just quit services because their HOAs are the actual contract holders

Cons

Toxic working environment PTO use limited to 2 people per day Constant outages Older account system compared to Comcast or Spectrum. Senior leadership supervises themselves Limited protections for regular staff if issues arise due to toxic environment. Diversity in the call center not in corporate leadership

Pros

Training teacher, during my time there was the best coworker I've ever had. A truly unbelievably selfless person who truly cared about every representative both new and experienced. I could go all day about just how great he was, and I'm sure many other former TSR reps can as well. Fellow TSR floor agent people bond and leads are wonderful and try to all help each other

Cons

Management not on the right path for success Human Resource department is unprofessional No incentive for people who work harder than others, #1 metrics holder will get paid the same as the absolute last metric holder. Instantly drives all their best reps into the ground by giving no incentive to work harder and also putting a no promotion policy of one or two years no matter the work of the rep. The products and services are incredibly flawed, imagine telling a customer that there's nothing you can do for them and you'll have no internet for two weeks.
