Pros

There are some great supervisors. The work is very fast paced and you'll always have something to do. The starting pay is pretty good, but that comes with a con. Co-workers are generally very nice and are willing to help out if asked.

Cons

It's an internet and cable provider so you can assume the types of calls you'll be getting. The companies major customer base are higher end HOA and 55+ communities. Customers will range from just plain evil to some of the nicest and understanding people you'll ever speak to. Be prepared to explain things very slowly and simply as the majority of customers will be elderly, but if you're patient and kind with them they will usually return in kind. You will not get any increase in payment unless you're promoted and getting promoted is not the easiest thing in the world to do here. Training is also quite dismal. Once you're on the floor taking calls you will pick everything up quickly if you put in the effort, but be prepared to be quite lost for a month or so.

Pros

Lot's of training and my manager at the time really cared about what we were doing and how we could best assist our customers

Cons

Teams were very segregated, even within your own team it would feel like pulling teeth if you asked in chat for help with something. I would sometime go against what a "supervisor" said we should do as it just did not sit right with me. Example : Senior citizen customer who had limited mobility was moving out of service area (her kids were moving her closer to take care of her) but she could not physically walk around the house to collect/disconnect hardware that belonged to Hotwire. My manager was on time away, and another manager wanted me to tell her if she doesnt she would face up to $300-500 in Unreturned Equipment Fees and that there was nothing else we could do. I was not happy with that at all, I was able to reach out to the on site manager for that community and they were more than happy to stop by that customers house and help collect things. The poor lady was in tears for how we were able to help.
