Pros

very easy job once you get the hang of it. free food almost every week if you're into that sorta thing. my co-workers were great. Free cable and internet.

Cons

Where do I start *sigh* -low pay. they are constantly adding new tools to the job but they are not compensating for it. -poor management. all they care about are your numbers. even if you are very good at your job they will find something to nag you about. -impossible to get promoted. They recently changed the requirements of getting promoted and it's almost impossible to do so if you're not a superior employee. -Someone took their life while at work. The company did not make mention of this to us at all. I understand that you cannot discuss what happened but they did not say anything. no emails, chats, meetings. nothing. nor did operations stop. They acted as if nothing had happened. In fact, while the CSI was in the back parking lot processing the scene they had an ice cream truck giving out cones in the front of the building. That was the last straw for me. -If you're really good at handling the calls and doing a good job they will hold you back from promotion within or to another department. -Since I've been there for some time I've seen this place get worse and worse as the years went on. It is slowing but surely becoming Convergys

Pros

I've worked as an RCS in the Daytona Beach market and my experience has been very positive. Like any outside sales position, success comes down to attitude, consistency, and following a proven system. The reps who struggle are often looking for shortcuts, while the reps who put in the time, learn the process, and stay coachable tend to do very well. Pros: Strong earning potential with uncapped commissions Flexible schedule and independence in the field Supportive teammates and leadership Excellent products that solve real customer needs. More than most of the competition. Opportunities to grow and increase income over time The biggest advantage is that you control your own results. If you're willing to work consistently, learn from successful reps, and stick to a proven approach, this can be a very rewarding career. This is not a sit-at-a-desk job. You'll be walking neighborhoods, talking to people, handling objections, and hearing "no" along the way. That's part of sales. If you enjoy meeting people, helping customers, and taking ownership of your success, the role offers significant upside.

Cons

The role requires patience, consistency, and resilience. Many of the customers we speak with are former subscribers who may have left due to a past service issue, billing concern, or negative experience. Reps often have to overcome skepticism and rebuild trust before even discussing current products and promotions. There is definitely a learning curve, and success doesn't happen overnight. It takes time to learn the territory, understand customer concerns, and develop the communication skills needed to turn difficult conversations into opportunities. Reps who remain coachable, follow a proven system, and stay consistent with their activity tend to perform much better over time.
