Pros

Medical benefits were good. Nice office in Kirkland right off Lake Washington.

Cons

Where do I start? Working 60 hours a week. Lack of good sales managers. I had 4 managers in the time I was there. Ethics are out the window as far as sales go. We were told to stretch the truth when it came to making a sale. Unhappy, burned out sales reps. Daily meetings and nightly reports are mandatory. Turnover was the highest of any company I have ever worked for.

Pros

Cons

job security, the company will find an excuse to fire you before laying others off to avoid paying a severance package.

Pros

None, they oversubscribe their transmission towers and throttle your internet access. If they found out who ratted them out they would simply change their policy and say, "no we do not throttle." They won't tell anyone what the thresholds are so they can charge you more and give you less service. Forget about cancelling your subscription, they will get you to sign a 2 yr contract. When you want out, they force you to pay a $200 ETF. If you stick with them they won't tell you your subscription is up and roll you over to a new 2yr contract. If you miss your chance to get out then you will be charged the $200 ETF (early termination fee). If you do cancel in time, their bookeeping is so bad they will continue to charge your account, many times no refund. They tell their CSR's to never give a refund and do not let a client leave.

Cons

Overworked. ie Unwritten mandatory overtime.
