The people you work with are great. Management leaves alot to be desired.
TIEr 2 Customer Support (Former Employee), Watertown, NY – December 22, 2012
Pros: great fellow reps
Cons: pay, management, hr
Worked there for 6 yrs. They don't like to work with you if you need a different schedule. There is way to much favoritism. Working hard really doesn't get you anywhere. You are in the phone for 8 hrs listening to customer complaints. It's worse than high school with the gossip and backstabbing.

Wireless Retail Support Agent (Former Employee), Phoenix, AZ – December 15, 2012
Pros: tv's on call center floor
Cons: management stability
Take inbound calls, make outbound calls. I learned how to solve basic troubleshooting, how to view customers bill, and answer any questions or concerns. Take payments, Also how to verify accounts. Management for my department was helpful. Co-workers worked in teams of up to 10-15, reliable and respectful to one another. Hardest part of the job was not – more... having enough support on the floor to assist with assisting agents. Most enjoyable part of the job was being able to interact with customer's and helping them with their issue and resolving it for them. – less

Productive and Fun Workplace
Customer Support Professional (Former Employee), Quezon City, Philippines – December 5, 2012
Pros: health benefits, free food during holidays, team building
From my first day at work, I have learned a lot. The company trained us to be competitive workers. We are trained about our products and we are also trained to give excellent customer service. Our typical day at work is just fine . We would just sit in front of our computer, have our headphones on and then go, ready for the long que of callers. We are – more... handling a telecom company that's US based. The hardest part of the job, is handling irate customers, you really have to be patient. But at the end of the day, what makes the most enjoyable part of our job is seeing our customer's satisfaction. – less

Fun to work at, with weekly programs that motivates their employees
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Mandaluyong, P00 – November 17, 2012
Pros: health card, quarterly bonus, weekly programs, leaves
Cons: salary increase
- Everyday I process requests forms (main task of my work)
- I have learned to be more keen to details and to provide excellent customer service always, to be work with quality and quantity at the same time.
-Management has it's ways on how to motivate their people, there are weekly programs, cash incentives every quarter, weekly incentives for attendance – more... and others.
-Hardest part of the job is to maintain your everyday scores/target for the team. To make sure everything is balance in terms of metrics.
-The most enjoyable part are the programs being held by the company to make work more enjoyable. And the friendly people/bosses you are working with. – less

Great people...not so great pay
Commitments Agent (Former Employee), Rio Rancho, NM – November 1, 2012
Pros: nice people...including lower level management.
Cons: terrible pay. don't plan on a life...the work will consume that.
I worked for Stream for about 4 months and left for the most discussed reason in all these reviews...the money. I was top of my training class, actually advanced through training and was in one of their top divisions before training finished for the rest of the class. Came up for my first raise...and got 60 cents an hour!!! Plus I was told that I would – more... never get another raise unless I went to management. Well, seeing the way management was put under the gun, no way did I want that. One thing that sticks in my mind was hearing the site director go on and on about how the company was on track to do a BILLION dollars in business that year, yet when asked directly about agents getting a raise he casually dismissed it with a 'no' and went on. No explanation, nothing. Considering my direct manager considered the advanced division I was in to be more like Tier III or IV support, the money was insulting. Not to mention, my schedule was changed 5 times in the short time I was there.

It wasn't all bad...most of the people were a joy and pleasure to work with and get to know. Actually I stay in touch with a few people I met there during my short time. I did say most. Being a typical call center I'm told (it was the 1st true call center I worked in), it was full of lots of drama and immaturity. I read the term 'high school' by other reviewers and I couldn't agree more. Lots of juvenile behavior to say the least.

All in all, it was a terrible experience working for Stream. I met some great people, including the customers on the phones, but getting paid such little money while doing tech support for the LARGEST cell phone provider is insulting. – less

Good Pay - Great Supervisors - Uncaring Sr Leadership
Site Quality Manager (Former Employee), Phoenix, AZ – October 31, 2012
Pros: great hours and flexibilty
Cons: integrity issues for upper management.
There is a lot of talk about wanting to do well on Employee surveys but rarely is anything done to benefit the agent. Many time we have seen the Sr Leadership set up Supervisors and below to fail.

They don't pay bonuses that you earn
customer service representative (Former Employee), Tampa, FL – October 26, 2012

Stream is a good place to enhance your skills.
Customer Support Representative (Former Employee), Watertown, NY – October 25, 2012
Pros: indoor cafeteria and computer lounge.
Cons: inflexible schedule
If you do not mind being on a phone for eight hours to assist with customer inquiries and questions this is a good place to work. The pay rate is competitive for an entry level position and there is some room for advancement. I felt after 3 years on the job that I was over skilled for the pay rate I was receiving so I left to seek new opportunities. – more... This is a great place to learn critical office and communication skills which will are very strong on a resume. – less

It's a typical place to work. Benefits are standard. There are a few different contracts or lines of business you can work. Some are new and others have been around for awhile. Some contracts are considered "elite" but depends on the management style you want to work under
