Pros

Good pay, great training, wonderful co-workers, and a great supervisor. They spend a lot of money training you. There are plenty of good aspects about the position. But for every good aspect there is an equal and opposing negative one. The review of this company is mixed as you will see.

Cons

The customer base. Tech support can end up being a nightmare because on top of fixing peoples problems, you also have to try to sell them stuff. And yes, there is a sales quota in TECHNICAL SUPPORT. And don't get me wrong, some of the customers are wonderful to talk to and you wish you could talk to them all day long. But you're talking to people that are frustrated all day long. It wears on you after a while. I have been there for years and I really need to start looking elsewhere now. If it was just tech support, that would be one thing. But I don't feel it's appropriate to try to sell things to people with technical issues. In general, call centers are where dreams go to die. Don't expect to work for one and think that its a foot in the door. You're just a number and management rarely retires nor do higher up departments all of a sudden have an opening.

Hi, thank you for sharing a review! We're glad to know that you enjoy the flexibility, work-life balance and employee benefits that a career at Cox offers, and that you would recommend Cox as an employer. Cox's footprint and cross-industry impact do frequently necessitate agility with change, but we strive to offer a workplace experience that has the stability of a large company with the friendly community and innovation culture of a startup. And while our impact continues to grow, our values and mission remain the same: across our family of businesses, we're building a better future. We hope you feel that to be the case.

Pros

Learned alot with 20+ years with the company, fun place to work, meet great people, Awesome pay.

Cons

Management will throw you under the bus to save themselves, will not stick up for employees, supervisor yelling at team meetings, slamming things around and acting childish. Best micromanager out there.
