Supervisors hate weak agents...why?

Pros

Everything Is Great! It is the best company so far except the cons i have listed.

Cons

Supervisors are not friendly, they just act to be even when agents are not really at fault. The supervisors in this organization really have to take it easy on the agents, knowing the fact that there is so much a human being can take or tolerate. New or Old, agents are agents and most are doing equal amount of work. There should be not favoritism withing agents and supervisors. Also, when an agents feels sick or has some problems and does not show up that day, its not the end of the world! We as agents show up everyday and with such bad weather, its very normal a person would fall sick once a month or so. Regardless, I understand how much one absence can affect a volume of calls and all. But a human is a human, not a robot, a 2 minute breather is NOTHING vs. Taking calls with emails 5 days a week. Some supervisors tend to act really harshly on weak agents. And some that cannot meet the deadline of closing their reports or so on time are faced with such bad treatment. It hurts to see that. And this is what i feel EVERYDAY. Thank you for reading if it is not ignored. Hope some action or some change is implemented or else, this company is great and has so much potential to succeed more and more!

Hello, thank you for taking the time expressing your thoughts and concerns. I’m glad to hear that you’re feeling great about your employment experience at ecobee. I want to ensure we foster an environment where employees can excel and feel valued. On the flip side I’m also not thrilled to hear you feel the Supervisory team is not maintaining a positive and supportive environment. We maintain an open-door policy for people to express their feelings/concerns to next level management or HR. If you feel you are being treated unfairly I would encourage you to speak with your Supervisors or Manager to start. As our team continues to grow, Supervisors who are new to managing people are continually supported to help them develop their people management skills to better handle situations. As any progressive business organization, ecobee has established guidelines around unplanned absenteeism. The company provides generous time-off allowances that permits employees to apply for days off when needed. Not unlike any other customer service department, we define metrics that will allow us to meet/exceed customer expectations. If we’re are not taking care of our customers, our competitors will. Hiring great people that will live our company values and take pride in what they contribute will ensure we continue to provide top tier customer service. The Leadership team is responsible for developing their team members through coaching/mentoring /training and invest considerable time through this process. If you feel you have not been fully supported, then improvements are needed. I would be more than happy to meet with you in confidence and assure you that your concerns will be addressed. Thank you, Andrew G (Director, Customer Service)

Pros

Just the snacks and free drinks

Cons

Pretty much everything. The dynamic of the job, the treatement of their employees (especially if you were not a favorite)..and just the bogus excuses they made to end up firing talented and hard working people. Lol guess what? You needed to be a really big fan of the NBA to get along with managers.. not even kidding. Too much of favoritism..

Pros

Great Location, Stock Options, Free snacks, and drinks, company that produces a best in class product.

Cons

Despite the fact that ecobee makes a great product, they are growing so fast that they can't manage their team correctly. Management is fairly clueless to just how bad things are. Every week was a new compromise that staff is expected to make. After a few months, it just gets exhausting trying to give them your all and they just can't seem to respect their staff and treat them like humans.
