Pros

Tax Write-Offs for working at home Benefits

Cons

Just posting again... as a response to the witty reply from a person that rated this company "5 stars" and said that I must have been fired. I left my review in October 2011 -- and I'm seeing quite the trend of other people feeling the same way I did about this company. That blows your theory that I was some hack that was fired and was bitter... now doesn't it? Two years ago I called this place a horrible work environment, and so many others have chimed in saying the same. I'm still in contact with a few of my ex-coworkers who are now long distance friends. I am in a way, a hero to them for leaving the sinking ship with my dignity and sanity intact.

Pros

Training & Supervisors are so oblivious you can play video games or watch Netflix for 5 weeks while being "trained". Getting paid to play video games is awesome! Sadly once you hit the floor you can't really do that too much.

Cons

Where do you even start? I guess we start from the beginning. You be working exclusively for Comcast, one of the most hated companies in America!!! Support.com will try to tell you they have all these different customers and positions, but you will NEVER work for anyone but Comcast!!! Training - I spend a week "preparing my computer" for tools and so you can be invaded by malware that is the Support.com Workbench as they call it. It's the tool that monitors everything on your computer in the name of "security stuff". They literally made me uninstall my anti-virus software and told me "windows defender is better anyways". The training course itself is bad and sad. Enjoy playing video games and watching netflix for 5 weeks because you learn more from that then you will this training. You end up being told to forget it all when you reach the floor anyway because is incorrect or "not in-line with business needs" as my Supervisors say. HR & Payroll - what a nightmare!!! Good luck keeping up with the game of telephone if you actually have problems and need 2 talk with what I can only assume are $10 an hour contractors overseas using american names. Payroll screwed up my taxes not once but twice!!! and tried to tell me it was my fault because they were never notified. Keep every piece of paper and email you send as they will screw u without notice to cover ther own butts. "Schedules" - Support.com does FLEX schedule where ur schedule will change every two weeks. Annoying but wasn't a big issue for me. "Nesting" or mentoring as they call it is the equivalent of being tossed in a pool and saying good luck, learn to swim. Nothing in training prepares you for a real call. You will go through all of training and still not be prepared. You wont ever even see someone take a call, only listen to them. Bad experience with almost no support, my mentors took so long to respond customers gave up and hang up!!! "The Floor" is once you pass training and nesting. You will be assigned a random supervisor who will greet you by sending a giant list of demands. Pmuch asking you to sign your life away to Support.com via email. You have "team meetings" once and a while where your supervisor will read the latest field alerts that came out, that you already signed off on if you are doing your job. You have 1:1 meetings where you get yelled at if your metrics aren't good enough. I could go on but the stock price doesn't lie everyone!!! Stay away from this dinosaur of a company that is about to go under!

Pros

Work from home Paid Training Benefits are good for most. Good co workers. Good entry level call center job.

Cons

No raises. Strict QA policies. Increasing work load with no compensation. Company is losing customers and money. Does not seem like it will last long. Outsourced support, and call center operations that perform poorly.
