Pros

Directv had a pretty good team environment and work culture...You didn't feel like you were working against each other...it was a team effort amd they did train you well. I gained alot of skill from this position. So I do see alot of value from working with them.

Cons

Didn't like the att point system as far as missed time..worked there 3 and 1/2 years and was never able to secure dayshift due to a weird situation with the grayson call center.. Never had an opportunity to advance either....I know this was not a typical situation...you basically had to put up with angry people and swayed them not to leave...and 80% of what you do is fixing billing and account issues and resolving customer complaints..which is typical bit can be emotionally draining...some of the managers get a big head about them which can be annoying at times. I also won't forget the time a tech supervisor was literally yelling at me because I worked remote and he was frustrated in helping me...honestly that was the straw that broke the camels back..I wish I would have reported that..

Pros

The pay and performance incentives are solid, and most of the staff are friendly and supportive. That said, it was a bit surprising to encounter a few individuals who showed little interest in assisting their coworkers. The location is convenient, being close to home. The work itself can be rewarding—especially as you develop the ability to effectively interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds, which makes the job much easier. Overall, most members of management were approachable, professional, and open to communication

Cons

You can expect to stay busy at times, which is actually a good thing when it comes to job security. Some calls can be high-stress, especially when dealing with upset customers—but that’s part of any job involving the public. The upside is that DIRECTV equips you with the tools and support needed to turn most interactions into positive outcomes.
