Pros

At the time had good people, but they’re all gone for a reason.

Cons

Was there for over a decade-longer than most, and never felt that the company valued its employees. Travel policy—forced to room with another employee to save money. $13 max for breakfast, $15 max for lunch, $26 max for dinner per diem. Hotel max at $100/night. Always lost $60 every time I travelled. Many years of no pay increase—always an excuse even during the healthier financial times. I’ve had better benefits working for places with far lesser means. Badge in badge out hours watched like a hawk. Zero flexibility—if you have a family that comes second. Stay away. I wish I would have departed many years before I did.

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.
