Pros

You get to work from home, but in 2019 those jobs are widely available.

Cons

Support.com does not have their employee's best interests at heart. They will not go to bat for you with the companies for whom they provide support. You will be paid a below industry standard and static wage that has not changed in almost a decade. You will be taking live calls on issues entirely unrelated to that which you were trained for, and they will not provide you with the necessary access or training to resolve those issues. I was hired by Support.com as a Tier 2 internet tech support agent for Comcast, but when I quit 2 weeks ago, I was also required to do Tier 1 work, phone service support, billing support, sales support, activations support all in addition to excessive out-of-scope calls dumped on us without repercussions or accountability. Comcast used us as a catchall to conceal their customer service mismanagement, and Support.com allowed it - for years. Your schedule also changes frequently, and unless you are able to keep the highest metrics (like I was), you will not be afforded the opportunity to work the same days and times for more than a few months. Also, in regard to their substandard compensation (before the PR response comes in), they do have a pay for performance system which I factored into my assessment, as I was able to achieve those bonuses nearly every month of my three-year tenure.

We appreciate feedback from both current and former employees, and we also understand everyone's view is individual. We do support our employees, and we expect our employees to support our organization and embrace it as their own, while providing excellent customer service regardless of the service requested. Tier support has changed over the years and customers expect a "one call resolution" to their concerns as opposed to a constant transfer. This is the mindset we follow. We provide our employees with state of the art applications to resolve all issues. We as with our clients have a unique library of solutions that when used will resolve most concerns. We are also very proud of our ability to make as few or as many scheduling changes as an individual likes, with our schedule auction process. Like any call center, we have shift alignments that align with call volume, but unlike others in our industry ours happen less often and always come with significant notice. We do allow our employees with high performance metrics to have first choices in schedules, and we offer a variety of scheduling options, from 3 days to 6 days depending on your specific need/want. We wish you well in your future endeavors, and thank you for your service.

Pros

Working from home is all the pros this job has to offer! There aren’t any others!

Cons

The trainers are terrible, the management isn’t much better, and don’t ever let them put any kind of software on your computer, Because once they do, you can render that computer useless! The pay is $9.50 an hour which includes $.50 an hour extra for the use of your computer and Internet service. If you do last 90 days, you can get benefits, but by the time you are finished paying for those benefits, you will have hardly any money left! Don’t fall for the $1000 bonus, because if you miss any time, you’re not gonna get it!

Thank you for your feedback. While we have tools for you to use, they do not affect the performance of your system. Our attendance bonus of $1000 dollars is straight forward. Missing time will disqualify you, as we state to all new hires. We wish you the best.
