Pros

Lots of career advancement opportunities Energetic co-workers Very genuine management team Great benefits Awesome pay Amazing incentives Plenty of opportunity for Over Time Tuition Reimbursement Medical/Dental/Vision/401K Excellent Support Staff I enjoy everyday that I come in to work. Right now, I am a team lead. I am off the phone assisting my team with development. Some would say that I love my job because I am off the phone. This is not true. Just yesterday, our GM asked if some of the Team Leads could come in. Before I knew what it was for, I agreed to come in at 8am, and stay as long as I was needed. I will be taking calls, just like any other agent does, and it doesn't bother me one bit! One thing that I think agents forget most of the time is that the focus isn't about your personal preferences. No job out there is. Everyone in the CSR position applied to be a CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. The very definition is to SERVE the CUSTOMER. Whether I am taking calls, or leading my team, that is my drive everyday!

Cons

Really, the only thing I can think of: I wish we had a more "at home feel". Meaning, I wish the walls were painted a light red, or blue, and we had laminated "hard-wood" like floors. Basically, I would love it if the whole floor looked like the ICE/VIP lounge. Seriously... that's all I could suggest. Well, maybe raised desk. I like to stand and work.

Pros

Work from home is the only pro I can think of

Cons

They don’t provide any equipment aside from the computer itself. They mislead you during the interview and job description. You are paid according to price of product sold and close rate however it’s all inbound calls and you can not call back. The inbound calls are lousy, people who don’t even have a $1 on a card in order to do the eligibility check, or no card at all.. poor credit which leads to higher out of pocket costs. I think only a handful of times I couldn’t overcome the spousal objection or the just shopping objection. Those I will take responsibility for but if I’m getting calls from people who don’t have a card or don’t have a $ or don’t have the money to put down OR already have an account or is a mis-transfer or were passed along because the technicians have to make referrals even though the customer isn’t actually interested in the product yet the tech makes them still call.. that’s crap and it’s not real sales.

Hearing about your day-to-day reality in sales—from lead quality to equipment needs—is incredibly valuable as we continuously work to refine our internal processes and onboarding experience. While we are glad you enjoyed the flexibility of working from home, it is disheartening to learn that you felt misled by our initial job description and interview process. We want to ensure our teams feel properly supported and equipped to succeed in their roles.
