Pros
This is my first work at home position and I love it. Promotion for within as long as you are willing to go for it. Learn what you can learn as they are always willing to help you, but you have to want it There are pay for performance and if you are willing to perform you will make extra pay for that great performance. 401K, Medical, Dental, Vision. All the bells and whistles you could ask for.
Cons
You will always have ups and downs in any company. What matters is what do you make if it? What can you learn from these ups and downs and are you willing to stick with the company when they go through the downs. It is what you make of it!

Knowledge is the key to successful employees. 😀

Pros
Benefits and remote work. People complain about the so much with this company and I can understand why. However, saying they lie or not transparent is completely false. If you look in the Spirit page all the information is right there including what you agreed to when you accepted you position in the company. Everything from how coachings are conducted to NPS spreadsheets and meeting notes from the companies IT department....

Limited pay. In order to move up you have to have at least 6 months of employment. This is the standard for most companies tho.
Advice to Management
Pay attention to those supervisors who are too lax in their roles. It can create a feeling of uncertainty in agents when coaching. Would love to see roles open up in HR and hiring.

Pros
Good management, really fun and happy training, ability to make sales and get a flat rate pay, easily get over time
Cons
Fast paced, low starting pay(10.25$), little to no help when needed , lots of software and sites you use daily including a Windows 7 VPN which runs like trash.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what your doing but please pay more attention to your supervision teams and make sure they stay open for support when the team needs it

Pros
* Co-workers * PTO accrual (12 days at start), additional day per year * Ability to bid on shifts
Cons
- Lack of raises (No cost of living increases), ever. (P4P is hardly attainable) - If you get sick you will not be covered for any absences during first year - No accountability for peers not performing - Medical is too expensive and you cannot visit doctor on a routine basis without giving up half your pay for "Decent" medical benefits. - Hourly rate for entry-level is $10.25 an hour, barely survivable in majority...

Pay your staff a decent wage, have decent medical benefits, if someone gets sick offer them a few days off without impact to attendance.

Pros
Work from home was the only upside Save on gas
Cons
Management is horrible Lack of professionalism Flawed metric system Favoritism Poor training
Advice to Management
Scrap the playbook and start from scratch. 💯 You hire employees with no technical support experience and try to teach them how to troubleshoot someone’s internet from their own house who lives 100s of miles away. When new agents hit the floor they treat their employees with a sink or swim mentality, no support. Then they have a flawed metrics system that they can manipulate however they want. Surprise you guys still...

Literally, the only "Pro" to this job is being able to Work-From-Home.
Cons
- Decent health insurance benefits for full-time (30+ hours per week) but extremely low pay for the kind of work you're asked to do on a regular basis. On average, agents working directly for SDC's clients (i.e., Comcast) make 38% more than agents working for the company. - Incompetent Operations Team; specifically, scheduling and requesting Time Off - Inadequate Training - Often times unable to resolve a customer's...

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Support.com full-time for more than a year
Pros
*You could work from home *Everything was pretty relaxed as long as you did your job *Your breaks and lunches were set in the schedule so you could work independently through the day without somebody reaching out to you.
Cons
*You're shamed if you have to call out when sick. No sympathy at all. Just shame. *You're shamed if you have to go to the bathroom outside your breaks/lunches (I have kidney problems not something I can control) *It's extremely hard to get in touch with a supervisor when you need help *The only time supervisors chime in is to make everybody feel like they are doing a horrible job.
Advice to Management
*Communicate better with the employees and answer questions *Stop shaming people for things they can't control. *If somebody hasn't been given a warning about their metrics, talk to them first before firing them.
