Pros

The pay is better than anything I've had without having a degree.

Cons

I started here to repair phones. I understood there would be the sprinkling of retail concepts like surveys or helping the sales reps with information on selling phones. But now they are overbearing on installing apps on customer phones and selling insurance on other products. And then you get yelled at when customers don't want the apps. Because you're graded on how many you install period, the customer not wanting it has no impact on the lectures you receive. Tech people who opt to repair this stuff aren't typically sales minded. They know this because they even point it out in all their trainings. Yet they tell you to figure it out or look for another job. And the overbearing is just beginning with that. They make you document every interaction to find out if there was a sales opportunity and then make you explain how it went. Then after documenting it in an iPad, you have to post about it on a social network page with other asurion employees. Then you have to listen to all the critique about what you could have done to be more insistent to these customers about why they need extra coverage they don't need. Everyone is failing and yet they are finding more ways to try and force situations that they think will result in more sales. This place is a dumpster fire. Work here if you want to be an insurance salesman. Don't work here because you want to be a Tech.

Pros

The job does pay well and does give you commission and mileage back. It’s 22.05 an hour and .77 cents per mile ( you will drive a lot and your mileage check will probably be the same as your weekly check )

Cons

The job is hyper focused on pushing people to sell VHDP or HTP (VHDP Verizon Home Device Protection ), ( Home Tech Protection ). The job doesn’t really care for the financial situation of a client and will say “ well you could have told them even though they are on a fixed income, they can still get the plan and talk to their ISP about financial hardship “ the staffing is sometimes very scarce and is also very lack of consideration for driving far off with no help if you get stuck. If you happen to have a vehicle issue ( which you will ) you have 7 days to get it back up in running before you get either written up or let go. I did enjoy working for this company, but it was mentally taxing and always was about getting every dollar out the customer even though they already paid for the visit for you to come out, and the phone replacement which they have to pay for monthly. Once you have worked for the company for atleast 90 days you will get a tablet and they will make you start doing Verizon consultation about the customers WiFi and try to sell them these 90 dollar WiFi just so they can make the most money possible. It’s all just give me money even though you already gave me money
