Pros

Great pay, loved my team members they were like a family. Liked my discount on my dish services. That's it.

Cons

No constancy with ANYTHING. Unattainable unrealistic goals. Often felt I was spinning plates. They were here balance this and this and this oh and these 3 other things. Constantly lived in fire of getting a "box" which they fired people and made a huge production like leading people to their death like the green mile. For months and months I voiced my unhappiness and applied for multiple transfers which fell on deaf ears. They did get hellbent on sales and i was marked down over and over for not selling to customers that was having equipment replaced or a tech out if they had at least one working tv. They only focus on stats even when they say they aren't they do it sneaky. Like telling us multiple times a day "there is a shiftbid coming, everything counts" which never made any sense because the last shiftbid they came in a few months later and just changed everyones schedules. Then you have the fact that often times to get one metric you have to put one or more in jeopardy. The place mentally abused me. I was celebrated when i was a top agent but when i fell and struggled, no one helped. I tried to figure a way out to meet everything, which ultimately led to my "box". They re-enforce to us on a daily basis we are just a body filling a seat, and we can be replaced at whim.

Pros

Cant think of anything really. Unless you like working long hours for little to no pay, crappy benefits, and not seeing your family on days you work. Working outside is nice, but they ruin that too, by making you risk your life driving a hundred plus miles on horrible roads to get some stiff in wyoming his tv.

Cons

Pretty much everything you could think of other than the pay check.

Pros

Being on a team that becomes like second family (you have to because you never get to see your family), pay for the area, guaranteed breaks with one hour lunches, and location.

Cons

Mandatory overtime, point attendance policy, team coaches are sometimes unwillingly to help, daily changes to business policies that you have to explain to customers, take downs of certain channels like AMC and have to explain to disgruntled customers, a training program that is too short, and set schedules where there is no room for changes when a major even happens in your life.
