Pros

work at home, what's not to love? loaned a computer and ipod no drug testing, not that I would have failed

Cons

one hand doesn't know what the other is doing short training time no support in chat while on phones hard to get a simple question answered in other departments like payroll 'release' process needs a lot of work My mother died and as a full-time employee I got three paid days off. Unfortunately my mother's estate took more than three days to take care of, and so eventually I was let go. It took me more than a month after I was fired to get those 3 paid days in check form, and endless emails with at least three different people. I did get unemployment however, because all I ever heard when I called out was, 'bereavement is only three days' before I got fired, so there was not any warning about how I'd be let go if I continued calling out. So there's that. This is how I was fired: 'Went' to work, worked about 3 hours. Took a break, came back and the programs had shut me out. Tried to log back in, could not do so. Texted TL and the TL in charge of pay, one replied. 'Due to too many missed days of work, the company has decided to release you from employment. Good luck with your future endeavors.' Texted back that I had been actually WORKING and no one bothered to say anything in chat, or call me on the phone, they just shut me out in the middle of my work day. Got another text that said the same thing, with an added, 'This issue is now closed.' Well, thanks. So fired with no warning, while working, and I cannot ask about it? Great employee relations stuff there! And the 4-7 people I was emailing/chatting with during my time out for my mother's death? Not ONE said anything resembling 'I'm sorry for your loss.' Plus, the interview process takes almost a month to complete, there are jobs where you get hired almost right away, Concentrix has a class about once a month it seems, and if you miss it, then they drag out the process to keep you on the hook until the next class.

Pros

Pros - Convenience of working from home. - Great customers/end-users. - Able to help customers/end-users with solving their technical issues. - Fast hiring process. - You will provide support for devices that are applicable and pertinent in day-to-day life. ***Note for New Hires/New Program Enrollees*** The Work From Home Tech Support Job with Concentrix Should Really Be Named "Work Study Program". If you are going to enroll in Concentrix's Work-Study Program, I suggest that all new enrollees (new hires) purchase their own technological device that they are going to be providing troubleshooting for. Doing such a thing will boost your learning curve and reduce the stress of trying to learn about the technological devices by only using simulators and tons of articles. Also, keep in mind that, If a manager or trainer tells you to "act like that you own the device" or "act like you have used the device" or "fake it till you make it" ignore such ridiculous suggestions. it makes no sense to be up in a customer's ear with B.S. about "the weather" and other "frivolous small talk" knowing very-well that you can't provide thorough support to the customer because you don't have actual experience with using the devices and don't own the device that the customer needs help with. Instead of embracing the spirit of hypocrisy, embrace the spirit of authenticity. Note: Although Concentrix is located in Fremont, CA the work from home jobs are nationwide.

Cons

Cons - Low Pay Rate (WAY Below the National Market Rate Average For A Tier1 Tech Support Rep) - Intensive Job in Light of the Low Pay - Inadequate Training - High Metric Expectations in Light of Incomplete Training - Intrusive Managers Point of Reiteration: The Work From Home Tech Support Jobs with Concentrix Must Be Renamed to "Work Study Program" Reason? Because Concentrix doesn't provide thorough pre-production training. They rush through a big bundle of lessons. information, processes, and articles, don't provide you with technological devices that you will be providing troubleshooting for. The trainers/managers never provided a live-demonstration of of the technological devices; they abruptly shortened the nesting period, and then expect that your stats are going to meet their client's standards. So in essence, they have "certain" tech support agents who are on the phone advising customers about tech support issues for devices that they don't even OWN or USE. (Very hypocritical) Again, for the above reason, I have officially renamed their tech support position to a "Work-Study Program" Because basically, if you don't have experience with handling the technological devices that you will be providing tech support for, you will find yourself doing plenty of on-the-call learning. Thoughts About “Certain” Managers... What's interesting is the logic of "certain" managers is totally illogical. They provide inadequate training, and then when you take time to do research on topics that will help you to assist the customers, they pop-in on the computer with intrusive pop-up messages, asking you questions about your call handling time. It's like really? So... they don't provide adequate training and then expect your call handling time to be low as if you were adequately trained. Also, I find "certain" managers to be extremely hypocritical. Concentrix claims that they want their tech support employees (should be "work-study members") to be customer-focused, and then when they get an employee who is truly customer-focused, and goes above and beyond to assist customers, they have a problem with it. Inadequate Training Process... When you ask for additional training, their upper-level managers will either ignore your formal written request, and their lower-level managers will provide excuses for not being to provide additional training. Also, when you decide to do extra self-training via your own self-initiative. Certain managers rudely pop-in on your computer, and obstruct and interrupt the process and tell you that you can't do extra training and have to be on the phones. Thereafter, they conduct call reviews and interrogate you about your call handling time.

Pros

Work from home…. That’s about it

Cons

Management don’t care until it affects them. forced to do things that aren’t part of company policy or your contract (at least as far as I’ve read). When the COMPANY’s systems aren’t working, YOU are expected to fix it… unpaid. Upper management couldn’t care unless the numbers look right for them. Your experience as a customer facing employee is completely disregarded. Management harass you if you take more than 5 minutes closing an account and even after you spend 1-2 hours on a call they expect you to be done and on to the next customer instantly. (How am I supposed to write “clear and concise” notes about a call if I’m given no time to do so). If you’ve done EXACTLY what a customer asked and they’re really happy with their time on the call, management DO NOT CARE unless you’ve sold something and shoved 5 different overpriced products down the customer’s throat. Even if the customer states they’re struggling financially at the start of the call. You’re expected to sell to customers no matter the situation even when our product is vastly overpriced compared to the other networks.
