What we do is we take care of everybody's connectivity needs.
What I can do is, let me tailor fit an order for you, all right? I'm going to put you in our most popular package.
It's a great environment to work for. Everybody is upbeat, high tempo. People are willing to help. It starts with our leadership. I mean, our leadership is impeccable. They're always there by your side. It's a great, great, great company to work for. They have great benefits here, the commission package is very, very robust.
When I did come in, I had little, little training in sales. They're still willing to train people that don't have a full extreme background of sales.
We are a bundled service company, so believe it or not, when you do the three lines of business, which is the TV, the internet and the home phone, you do get a better deal. A much better deal.
If I had to say the best thing of working here, it's got to be the camaraderie. I mean, the people that work here, the environment, it's a big family, basically. I love sharing the same roof with these people.
If you do have any thought of maybe making a career change and you want to go in the direction of sales, this is the place to be.

Spectrum Employee Reviews for Sales Representative
You’re just another PID
Sale Representative (Current Employee) - San Antonio, TX - December 1,
PID(personal identification). For their inbound call center, some managers and supervisors only treat you well if you’re a top performer. They also have their own personal rules/guidelines. For instance, a supervisor will approved your sales method, but another might completely disagree, which results in a triangle with yourself, your supervisor, and your manager. I personally had a supervisor I didn’t work under who was directed to aggressively listen to every call I received waiting to come across any mistakes I made. I only found out after the supervisor told me after deciding to leave the company. You only keep the same shifts with your supervisor until the company deem it’s necessary to have a shift bid. The left hand never knows what the right hand is doing when it comes to sales, billing, and tech support. The Spectrum employee environment is very passive aggressive, most employees take advantage of the therapy session company offers through its insurance that you can sign up for. A extremely high turn overrate. As quick as they’ll get you in, they’ll get you out faster if they don’t like you. The only things good about spectrum is the free service, your pay, and benefits.
Pros
Free service, compensation, and benefits
Cons
Treatment/passive aggressiveness, advancement
Official response from Spectrum
December 16,Our goal is to create a work environment that supports teamwork and productivity. We are dismayed that you have experienced something that doesn't align with our goals. We appreciate your comments and will share them with our leadership team.
Set out into a world of opportunities.
Narrator: You gotta be prepared for anything that the field is going to throw at you that day.
A typical day as a Direct Sales Representative, you definitely have to start with the weather.
It may rain in the morning.
Sometimes there's traffic.
If it's really sunny, bring enough water.
You definitely have to get your running shoes out.
(happy upbeat music)
Carve out at least 40 to 50 doors within your day.
The best asset is your time.
I bring the commercial straight to your doorstep.
A commercial that you can just interact with.
Qualities that are good for a DSR are a positive energy, outgoing, friendly.
Able to gauge and to read people.
They look for solutions.
Smile. Smiling is addictive.
With Spectrum, they give you all the tools to be successful and you take those tools and make something out of it.
Your sale is not going to be behind every door.
You got to find the opportunity to make them believe in the product that you're selling.
If you're scared to meet new people, this wouldn't be a good opportunity.
But if you have the entrepreneurial spirit, then you're already two, three steps ahead.
I don't see myself sitting in a desk spending five hours in a row before lunch.
I enjoy the activity.
You always come home with a story to tell.
It is something new every day.
Every day is a new surprise; a new journey.
(happy upbeat music)
