Pros

The two good things is free cable/internet/phone and Time Off. Cable package is going to be changing as well not as much free stuff. it never worked half the time anyways. Vacation time is really good, sick time accrued at like 3hs for every 40hrs worked, 4 days of personal time and 80hrs vacation time, but its hard trying to get the time off. only so much time per day allowed, if you need time off you have to jump thru hoops to get a day off and ready to explain why.. Benefits are cheap (also not good).. Read CONS!!

Cons

Everything sucked! There's a reason why Spectrum is ranked as having one of the worse customer service. We're not allowed to spend more than 15 min on the phones with customers or we get in trouble. The pay is terrible for what you do, overworked and underpaid. Within a year while I was there my workload more than doubled. When Charter took over we lost our monthly and yearly bonuses. My raise for the entire year was 13 cents and I was one of the top performers. The attendance policy changed basically there is no policy. It's at the supervisors discretion, even calling off one day can get you wrote up. Benefits stink. and it's WAY to micromanaged there is constantly a Team Lead, Supervisor, or manager over your shoulder. The billing system is broken. You will get calls constantly from customer with disconnects/orders/service calls not going thru.... There's better options that pay better or the same.

Pros

Bi-weekly pay, commission pay, decent health care benefits, 401k, free coffee, 2 weeks vacation, paid time off

Cons

Constantly being live monitored and coached; coachings were repetitive; company decided to let the cat out of the bag as to our department being closed months ago, but would not let us know as to when it would be closing; did not take into effect that people's livelihoods were on the line; when asked when dept closure was going to take place, management advised us not to worry about it but to make sure our daily goals were met in order not to be terminated prior to when department was going to be shut down permanently;
