Pros

Pay is decent. You get to experience and sample the latest technology and devices.

Cons

The company sends down objectives and goals from the top...Some of these are unreasonable and that makes management(who get threatened with their jobs if metrics aren't met) ask their reps to do unethical and down right wrong things to screw over and manipulate their customers. Some in management even condoned the "Slamming" of accounts(adding monthly paid services to customers accounts without them knowing) to boost their monthly metrics. Many times I had followed through with the unethical demands from my RSM to keep their numbers up so that their ARSM's numbers would look good for the big bosses only out of blind loyalty and job security. Management, to not hurt their store metric rating for credits applied to accounts, even made us use the tactic of "I'll put you on the phone with customer service to take that service off your account that you didn't authorize" to take care of upset customers instead of doing it themselves. Honestly, I can go on for hours with all the immoral junk they had us do but I would rather not waste my time. There is a reason they are rated worst in customer service year after year compared to their peers so steer clear of this horrible company for a place of employment and for its services.

Pros

a regular paycheck is about all one can say

Cons

some employees are subjected to such repeated extreme bullying & harassment -they can barely concentrate on their jobs to do right by the consumer.Property damage, abuse of sensitive persons w heavy duty cleaning chemicals, ugly commentary. The senior manager condones & supports bullying of employees who are not her ethnic group- Its daily, its constant & if you complain they will turn it around on you "How dare you not do a good job while we are harassing you ! You're the problem " It is an completely out of control environment , where everyday we have to watch our backs . It is a hell on earth, when all we want is to peacefully do our jobs.

Pros

- Pay - Benefits - Many great team leaders - Brilliant peers

Cons

- Ivory Tower executive leadership mentality completely out of touch with its employees, how they work and what they do - Leadership has wasted billions of dollars in poorly conceived acquisitions and policies that have mostly been reversed at huge losses. - A regressive RTO policy requiring at least 3 days in one of 2 identified offices locations in the US for almost every role (including IT) despite proven ability work seamlessly for years using our online collaboration tools - An RTO policy that is really about massive office closures and forced, unpaid relocation to new arbitrary locations, with no job guarantees after you move. - Ageism actually voiced in a recent townhall, where executives complained about the workforce being too old and not matching the age of our customers.
