Pros

Decent scheduling if you have any seniority. Friendly work environment. Decent wage

Cons

Ever since Charter acquired TWC they have began implementing very aggressive changes. They have decides to get rid of overseas support before bringing on more phone reps. Due to this change the call volume is non stop giving no chance to even catch your breath. This alone would not be too bad if not due for the fact that our time on calls are heavily monitored. Even if the customer needs additional time to have their issue resolved, Charter would only allow us about 10 minutes to trouble shoot. Additionally, Charter has brought in multiple forms of tracking programs/tools that we are forced to use (even if that particular call may not require it). This directly goes against their desire to have us finish our calls fast and efficiently. They do not care about this and will still penalize you. We are constantly threatened by our management to adhere to the changes even when we try to voice our concerns in a calm and concise manner. It seems as if they intend to take away our identity as respectable problem solvers and make us nothing but a number. We are essentially the overseas support Charter promised to get rid of. Our new business model is almost identical to theirs. I have personally never seen moral at the office this low. When every single person has a problem with something then something is clearly wrong. The higher ups brush our concerns off as if our opinions mean nothing. Although your coworkers and supervisors may be friendly and helpful do NOT expect to be anything more than another gear in the machine.

Pros

I've worked as an RCS in the Daytona Beach market and my experience has been very positive. Like any outside sales position, success comes down to attitude, consistency, and following a proven system. The reps who struggle are often looking for shortcuts, while the reps who put in the time, learn the process, and stay coachable tend to do very well. Pros: Strong earning potential with uncapped commissions Flexible schedule and independence in the field Supportive teammates and leadership Excellent products that solve real customer needs. More than most of the competition. Opportunities to grow and increase income over time The biggest advantage is that you control your own results. If you're willing to work consistently, learn from successful reps, and stick to a proven approach, this can be a very rewarding career. This is not a sit-at-a-desk job. You'll be walking neighborhoods, talking to people, handling objections, and hearing "no" along the way. That's part of sales. If you enjoy meeting people, helping customers, and taking ownership of your success, the role offers significant upside.

Cons

The role requires patience, consistency, and resilience. Many of the customers we speak with are former subscribers who may have left due to a past service issue, billing concern, or negative experience. Reps often have to overcome skepticism and rebuild trust before even discussing current products and promotions. There is definitely a learning curve, and success doesn't happen overnight. It takes time to learn the territory, understand customer concerns, and develop the communication skills needed to turn difficult conversations into opportunities. Reps who remain coachable, follow a proven system, and stay consistent with their activity tend to perform much better over time.
