Sales and call centers are difficult and it is a high stress environment, but can also be a very fun environment. The pay is very good for an entry level position and benefits are amazing.

Always changing and high expections from management.

Advice to Management

Keep working to improve and keep your reps informed on all that is going on, to keep everyone on the same page.

Pros

One of the best places to work in the islands. Being that some of the senior management teams has been replaced with (hopefully) something better, there is blue skies ahead for this company. With the most recent merger of Cincinnati Bell, there should be an influx of cash to help the company grow. With a personality fit of Cincinnati Bell and Hawaiian Telcom, the unified force will be a strong competitor to Spectrum.... They too, have been acquired by a mainland company, so them complaining about Hawaiian Telcom being owned by a mainland company is a moot point.

Cons

Some departments still have politics so thick, you can't even get your work done or feel the breeze of the air conditioning. Most of the day is spent fighting internally, so that nothing gets done.

Advice to Management

Continue to get rid of those that really are dead weight to the company and really doesn't care if the company succeeds or not. Removing a few of the previous top brass is a great start. Being that most of the dead weight of the previous senior management is gone, and putting John K at the top is a great change to help the company grow. John is a great leader and he can do great things to the new CB/HT company. Glad... to have him at the top. He can make big changes and be a positive influence to help the company grow. John should continue to recognize those people that help the company grow from the very bottom to the very top. Sometimes, it's the small little guy that with the small title that really makes the difference. John should continue to recognize everybody that does a great job! It is within John's personality to recognize everybody, no matter how small the position or how tiny the title. Glad to have him on board! Go John!
