      Pros

      Compensation is average and it is a fairly laid back place to work. The work can be interesting at times.

      Cons

      Benefits are very very mediocre. 401k barely matches anything. Everything seems to be taken away from healthcare with no real incentives to actually improve health such as gym compensation or help with quiting smoking, little things that could actually improve an employees health are not considered if they cost anything at all. Many of the projects also seem to have no real direction given from upper management when needed, they are very in the moment with what has to be done and many times do not consider the larger picture before hand.

      Pros

      Great perks, overtime available at times, great co workers and love helping customers

      Cons

      Customers yelling at you at 7am before you’ve had your morning coffee, some supervisors micromanaging, the fact that you have to promote promote promote even when customers flat out say no some supervisors want you to keep pushing and that’s honestly a problem for me, if they say no it’s no, we are not in the sales dept. I understand that their numbers are also important but sometimes the pressure is too much, so much so that sometimes I just feel like getting another job if I’m being honest, and I honestly love it but some supervisors do too much, we not only have advanced tech but starlink customers that we have to help, we have a certain time limit for starlink and agents offering starlink to customers then saying” you can call to cancel tomorrow” adds more pressure because now they don’t want you to assist the customer in cancelling now it’s just tickets, tickets is not enough for customers they want a solution not some ticket that’s not going to get them a resolution in a timely manner.
