Pros

Free food, beautiful scenery around the company, great parties. The payment can make you survive, with food, water, and some clothes. Young co-workers with awesome ideas.

Cons

In the beginning I looked at those contrived five-star-reviews, feeling disturbed. Later I found that people put their really opinions in the cons. As I put in the Pros, I met some of really cool young co-workers during my last year here, most of them are recent graduate, fresh, hardworking, and very intelligent. I noticed that almost NONE of them could stay in the company longer than half a year. Most of them left for a better pay position somewhere else, others left due to unqualified supervisors or too-demanding tasks. I am glad to be able to support myself with the pay because I do not have kids, for now. However, I can definitely understand how hard it is to work 9 hours here in TN and then another 3 hours part-time as a waitress, just to earn some cash to pay the rent, buy treat for dogs or toys for kids. It is difficult to have a life here with the pay in TN. I am also glad to have a nice supervisor, who is not a bully. However, I can understand how unpleasant it is to have a bully or jealousy supervisor who treat the subordinates with no respect, give them demanding tasks and toss them away when the tasks are done. It is more than unethical. If you want a job with security, respect and most of all, a decent payment, please look at the numbers on your job offer and think twice.

Pros

Free food, free gym, casual dress, and nice coworkers.

Cons

The longer you work there the more the benefits deteriorate, and the worse they treat you. When I first started it was possible to make commission incentive of about 120-200 dollars a week... Now it is not. They calculate your incentive bonus based on how many sales per total amount of calls you take, and when 90 percent of your calls are support calls, or people thinking they are calling the venue (because the websites are intentionally misleading so people think they are calling the venue) it is impossible to actually make the 18 percent sales conversion rate required in order to get commission. It wasn't always this bad. Used to be everyone got some sort of commission. then they made the websites more misleading, and made an elite sales team, a group of reps that take only sales calls, so the rest of the reps get stuck taking about 4 times as many support calls. This place doesn't care about their employee's morale at all. I hear now they can't even call out if they have a doctors note. The longer you work with this company the more your benefits will deteriorate, and the less money you will make. This place sucked!!!! They also scam all their customer's. At the end of every call customer service representatives have to say, "And by the way I have a special opportunity for you to receive 25 dollars off your next ticket order, may I transfer you for details", and they transfer them to some offshore company that sells them magazine subscriptions they can't cancel or time shares. The customer's who have called back after falling for that trap claim it is harder to cancel your membership than it is to cancel a girls gone wild subscription.

TicketNetwork has always had a philosophy of rewarding performance. As such, we have an incentive program in place allowing call center agents to earn additional income based on their sales performance. This has been in place and calculated the same way for many years. During the past several months we have made some changes to the incentive plan, which includes adding the ability for the agent to share in the revenue they generate as well as adjusting the performance required to participate in the plan. There has never been a time where all agents earned an incentive, however a vast majority of our agents earn an incentive under the existing plan. Our top and middle performers earn more money under this plan than they did under the past plan. The information in the review regarding the amount of sales and support calls taken by an agent is simply not true. TicketNetwork has a comprehensive benefits plan which includes paid vacation and sick time to allow employees to step away from work to attend to personal matters. TicketNetwork strives to provide excellent customer service. TicketNetwork is a secondary ticket marketplace and clearly represents this fact to the customers, both over the phone and on our websites. During our agent training we provide the agent with appropriate language that is a standard to be used during calls to ensure the customers know they are purchasing from the secondary ticket market. Furthermore, on our websites, this fact is clearly represented throughout the purchasing process. We do provide special offers to our customers during our calls for products and services we believe offer great value to our customers, however they are not required to purchase anything.
