Pros

Free Cable Free internet Cell service $15 Good Benefits. if you want to be Mentor/ supervisor that's possible.

Cons

First of all where do i even start. They have hiring classes every two weeks. They make it seem like you will make all this money. Its Cap. Don't even waste your time. You make Hourly 18 a hour plus commission. Then they Take out 40% commission. They tell you you can make 3-4k easily but nope thats not the case. They will lie to you about pay, to keep you there. I would recommend anything but sales. I worked Other Departments as well. Days off are trash to no consecutive days off either.

Pros

The pay is good. The thing that makes sales very scary is commission! Especially just starting out however, at spectrum they do hourly and commission to supplement commission for the leaner seasons. The benefits like medical and dental insurances are good.

Cons

This particular site is filled with drama! Physical fights in the parking lot seem on the schedule bi-weekly. There is no flexibility in the work schedule! If you are a single parent with school aged children make sure your tribe is strong because there will be no more going to recitals and sporting events for them. The commission structure is not balanced and fosters “crabs in a barrel” mentality. Complete loyalty and obedience is the standard in the place, you are a number and not a human. Sale, sale, sale even if the customer calling in has no electricity to enjoy cable services.

Pros

Nice facilities. New equipment. In house cantina. Training classes were very informative and helpful. The cleaning crew is the best. Commission.

Cons

Micromanagement, Not allowed to use bathroom outside of breaks and lunch. Metrics are not fixed constantly increasing. They do not accommodate parents with children. (HR's direct words) You have to sell cell phone service or you will be driven into the ground by your superior. Limited parking as a quarter of the parking lot is dedicated to smokers and food trucks. Superiors that you are not directly under will make it a point not to help you. What you are taught IS NOT what is practiced in production. Favoritism especially when it came to working from home. Sketchy sales practices and even fraud has been found such as salesman adding services to customers accounts without their permission. Very much high-school environment when it comes to the atmosphere. Shift bidding is a joke.
