Pros
Everyone working there was really nice, and managers were approachable Training was detailed Free internet/cable for employees, even part-time Pay was pretty good They understand if you're not feeling well and need to visit the bathroom often (you'd be surprised how many call centers have strict rules about this) They were pretty up-front about how often full-time positions open up, and that honesty was... refreshing
Show MoreCons
Everyone starts off part-time (unless maybe management), and full-time positions don't open up very often; expect to work there more than a year on average before getting full-time (not a terrible thing if you can afford it, but know what you're getting into) Parking isn't always the greatest (but you can still usually find a spot, you just might have to walk a block) They will correct you if you mention their... data caps, which they refer to as "data allowances", and insist that you not use the term "data caps", even though that's exactly what it is (they just fine you if you exceed the cap); this can come across as condescending, and an attempt to justify a poor business practice

Pros
Free Cable/Internet. Decent Pay. no formal training.
Cons
No 401K match, pension after 1 year. They like to see over 10% overtime and force you to complete a time sheet even though you are salary.
Advice to Management
Create Formal Training Programs

Pros
In a town with no jobs, it is an easy one. Basically keep telling people to power cycle their routers throughout your shift. Free internet is useful.
Cons
Due to unprofessional behavior, you cant search the internet to find information necessary to do your job better. Very juvenile things happen there, like you are with middle-school perverts. If you complain to your supervisor, they say "boys will be boys." Also, if you go to the toilet, they time you. You will not be treated well there if you don't go drinking with the in crowd, or play football with them, or... attend their weddings. Basically, if you want to advance within the company, you have to become part of their cultish "in-crowd." The owner is aggressively anti-liberal, and likes to send annoying emails to the entire staff telling them how to vote. There is a claim of an open door policy, that if you complain, they show you the door. Armstrong Cable rewards "irate callers." If a caller screams, rants, calls you every name in the book, they will call back and say that they were mistreated, and get something for nothing. Many employees at the call center are afraid that they will lose their jobs, and seem to have lost their dignity and hope. The turn-over rate is extremely high.

Please think before promoting negative people to supervisory positions. Please install cameras on each floor to monitor the behavior of your staff. Please learn that is against the law to discriminate against people based on gender or political affiliation. If you hired the best, and kept the best, you wouldn't have such a high turnover rate. Mr. Sedwick, please understand that threatening peoples employment... through political emails is disgusting, unethical, and probably illegal.

Pros
A Self disciplined, motivated employee will never have an issue. Excellent company, excellent job, decent pay, must enjoy working with the public, an employee's customer service skills need to be as good as technical job skills.
Cons
Working in all Weather conditions, -30 to 120 degrees, rain, thunderstorms, blizzards, high winds, employees must enjoy working outside and be able to cope with the elements
Advice to Management
Eliminate the accident point system. These are dangerous jobs, and things will happen from time to time. This point system will cause the company to lose valuable employees
Armstrong Cable2015-10-30"There is worse"
StarStarStarStarStarNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Armstrong Cable full-time
Pros
Good amount of overtime and good people to work with.
Cons
The scale of customer happiness vs employee happiness is severely tipped in the favor of customer. The command structure will do anything and sacrifice whomever in order to keep the customer happy.
Advice to Management
Try to even out the scales, employee happiness and customer happiness should be even, both demand sacrifice.
