Pros

Benefits and remote work. People complain about the so much with this company and I can understand why. However, saying they lie or not transparent is completely false. If you look in the Spirit page all the information is right there including what you agreed to when you accepted you position in the company. Everything from how coachings are conducted to NPS spreadsheets and meeting notes from the companies IT department. Recently we experienced a tool outage. The meeting notes addressed this and they are currently looking for solutions to not only prevent this from occurring again but looking at ways of identifying them before they happen. If you wanna stay up-to-date in this company you NEED to be an independent worker and look for the information on your own.

Cons

Limited pay. In order to move up you have to have at least 6 months of employment. This is the standard for most companies tho.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback and insight. We appreciate that you recognize we are very transparent with our employees, and we are looking for those self-managing work-from-home employees who appreciate transparency from an employer. We do value our online tools that keep our employees up to date on our procedures, policies and tool updates. Thank you for recognizing our commitment to continuous improvement!

Pros

100% work from home and you don’t have to really interact with your co-workers if you’re not a “people’s person”

Cons

Very low pay considering the level of stress - hard to move up within company - not really a tech support job, they have 100 different depts. and only use the RST employees for sales

Thank you for your feedback. As an organization that promotes from within, our employees have excellent opportunities for advancement. We have multiple departments, which allows for such movement for qualified employees who have a desire for career development. While our positions are technical support, there is an element of sales opportunity when our customers have services that may or may not qualify for enhancement. This is a factor in all customer facing roles.

Pros

Benefits, Work from home

Cons

In my experience, agents are shuffled from supervisor to the other. Right when you get comfortable with your sup and your team, bam, they switch you to a completely new one. Some supervisors are laid back but there are some that will nit pick you to death. Customers are often angry and upset because Comcast, Xfinity Internet services are very expensive and rarely ever works right. I had cx's calling in who were paying over $200 but they couldn't even check their email at home. Also, if you have any type of life outside of work this job isn't for you. Scheduling isn't flexible at all and the worst part is there are MANDATORY extra hours which means you have no choice, you have to work the required extra hours or they count it as No Show. If you don't sign up for these extra hours they will sign you up themselves w/o even asking whether you'll be available. Another thing about this job is that the tools you need to provide quote, "World class customer service", never work properly. They freeze, they crash, they simply do not function properly IF at all.

Thank you for your feedback. We have many clients in our organization, all with technical support needs. Our employees are dealing with customers who have issues; whether that be on their personal computer or with services provided by our clients. This is a customer support role, which all candidates are informed of prior to accepting this role. As with most call center roles, there are times we need additional work hours from our employees. All employees have the opportunity to pick when they will work, and we do not ask for more than 8 hours in a work week of additional hours. You may add these in daily increments or all at one time, the choice is up to the employee - this requirement is occasional. Tool requirements in general are related to the individual equipment owned by the employee. We offer a reimbursement to all employees who use their own equipment, and often the employee may not update his/her equipment as requirements change. Internally we do not have equipment issues that affect our general population of employees - these are rare to non-existent. We wish you well in your new endeavors.
