Pros

Free broadband is nice, especially knowing what they charge customers for data overages.

Cons

The pay has always been lower than standard, but they only hire where the market is low, so even the worst liar can keep a straight face and tell their employees they are paid competitively. The big push is always "do more with less," and this shows up in unexpected places. Do more by paying less: expected from a corporate setting. Do the same work to a better standard with half the necessary staff: mathematically not feasible. It's no wonder the new company has seen losses in the first two quarters since the merger had an IPO.

Pros

Working from home is a nice perk

Cons

Everything if i could give a 0 i would, the company cuts commission in half due to their billions of dollars debt and they make it the employees problem, treat the employees like trash, you get yelled at by your supervisor like they own you, you get treated like a slave, when you do good you're the best thing that's ever happened to them but when you're struggling which btw is their own fault, you are the worst thing that has ever happened, the company purposefully sends calls to departments they don't belong so they mess with your numbers, employees from departments overseas make the customer's life so impossible that good employees get treated like garbage by customers too, you can't win like EVERRR, you get hawked even by the higher ups like CEO level people on your calls when you're just a regular employee, they keep letting people go left and right, if you do bad you're gone but if you also do too good you're also gone, nobody is safe and you're told that constantly on a daily basis.
