"I loved my job giving me the opportunity to give back. The job I used to work at DISA had direct help to our troops overseas, and it allowed me a way to do my part. I learned a lot about technical support and wouldn't trade it for the world. My skills have been refined and I've seen so many interesting things that I would never have been able to learn about in a textbook."

"Helping teachers, faculty and students get their materials on our Network has been a rewarding experience. Most teachers and faculty members of the school need quick access to online databases and email if there were ever any medical issues or data loss for a students profile or grading. Maintaining a network and quickly resolving issues within the network gives me great sense of pride to provide that level of support to the students."

Technical Support Specialist at Sprint
in Fort Worth, TX

"I love that I can help some customers resolve their issues. I hate that I can't resolve half the issues and cannot tell the customers they should go else where because service where they are is terrible. I hate the way that the company took so many abilities away from us to help customers to make them more self service friendly even though other carriers don't do what we do. I love the team environment. I have had the same manager since I started which is much better than my last call center job"

Technical Support Specialist at TouchTunes
in Arlington Heights, IL

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Cultural disconnect; small company about to experience some growing pains."

What do you like about working at TouchTunes ?

"Company dominates its service sector and products have been cutting edge offering great potential for company growth."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you have no other experience this may be the place for you to get a start. But if you have been in world class organization or are looking for one then move on, I eventually did."

What don't you like about working at TouchTunes ?

"Disorganized and unstructured in areas that need to have more formal processes. Relies too much on its past history of not having to worry about the competition due to being up against stangnant old fashioned companies that were non-competitors in the music vending area of technology. It's literally i-pods vs juke boxes with Touchtunes winding up with 80% of the market. But that breeds arrogance (we've always done things that way, like a small start up) and tunnel vision (the competition is domestic and strapped to their rocking chairs, the future is will be like the past right). They forget that around the corner are really high-tech competitors from around the globe, more organized and more tech resource-rich ready to invade this nitch and snatch the market away."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Too many times I heard those around me snicker that tech support's job is just to give customers lip service until the developers figure out the next set of fixes which will also include new bugs. A) Get a better QA staff if you even have one. B) Don't use your customers for unwitting beta testers. C) quit relying on having the staff self trained. D) Get a professional trainer to make the training more consistent."
