Pros

Coworkers are awesome and work to help each other

Cons

Being tied to a phone to the point that you can't use the bathroom or get something to drink unless you are on break or lunch. If you do you're out of adherance and get told about it. Constant sales even though you are not a sales person. If someone calls to cancel service you have to "save" the account by offering discounts. People are cancelling for a reason and get very upset when you try to "probe" into why, which is what management wants. Phone calls are constantly monitored and graded. If you don't do 1 thing right you fail MAJOR micro-management in all aspects. Hours offered at time of interview are not what you get when you start. They change your shift constantly. Pay is minimal for what they expect you to do to keep a customer and the amount of work you have to put into the day. This is seasonal work and they do not tell you that in the interview. All they care about it staffing and nothing more. If you need help with something don't ask someone who's been there over 10 yrs. They cop an attitude and complaint about you.

Pros

- Very very easy to move up in the company. If you dedicate a couple years and show skill in sales you can move up to a sales manager position extremely fast. If you are willing to move the opportunity to move up is even significantly easier and faster. - Almost all of management started at the bottom and worked their way up, if possible they always hire from within. - Good money, get out what you put in. - Direct Management is great, local and even regional management is almost even fantastic, but any higher then that becomes out of touch and very frustrating to (albeit indirectly) work with.

Cons

- Inconsistent at times about expectations, at times asking for one thing then immediately needing the other. Can be frustrated to be pulled in so many directions, but not even remotely unmanageable. - Lot's of hours, especially in management. Prime time? (March-End of May) Say goodbye to your personal life! Mandatory 1/2 day Saturdays, definitely a grind but worth it. - Frustrating policies and illogical outlook on what success looks like.
