Great Benefits but can be stressful!
Offline Specialist (Current Employee), DeLand, FL – June 4, 2013
Pros: benefits, spiffs, awards, volunteer hours, etc.
Cons: for sales specialist-no job security, for offline- no advancement
I've been with Frontier for 2 years, 1st year Sales and Service which is very stressful and schedules change so much, don't know how people did this job with kids?? The commission is not worth it to me, but for some people they enjoy people yelling in their ear for the extra buck!! Transferred to a Offline specialist which was the best decision ever, – more... I am not a sales person so this was perfect and my whole attitude change, I love my job and my co-workers are like family. Schedules are pretty much the same, they don't change often in offline but atleast its job security! And managers are more understanding in offline, for Sales the managers are all about money, if you don't make your goal (commission) you don't matter!! – less

Company that cares about the community
Universal Service Representative (Current Employee), Allen, TX – June 1, 2013
Pros: great benefits, community service
A typical day at work would be taking forty to sixty calls that vary from sales to customer service to trouble shooting. I've learned that offering products is another form of customer service because the customer may not know the full extent of our products. The management and coworkers are helpful.

Produtive and fun workplace, incentives to work.
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee), DeLand, FL – June 1, 2013
Pros: fun company to work for, i that they are active in the community and it is part of you annual review.
Cons: extreme pressure to sell, tied to your desk.
I work on a live chat team, hands on talking live with customers all day. I sit in one spot all day expect for two 15 minute breaks and a half hour lunch. You do get docked if you are away for any other time then that. So you are tied to that desk.
Frontier does do expensive training on their product line and on how to speak and interact with the customer.
The – more... hardest part of the job is the pressure of meeting monthly goals and not really being able to have much interaction with other employees.
The most enjoyable part of the job is that the management has an open door policy and are very approachable. Also that Frontier is very active in the community. – less

Great Company has high ideals
Call Center-Work-at-home Rep (Current Employee), AZ work at home – May 21, 2013
Pros: good pay & benefits, enjoyable environment
Cons: services & promotions too varied & changable, internet service poor
good company with strong need for customer retention promotions and much better service record. Too many variables and confusion with various offers and many sub sellers and contractors in the mix. Local leadership is not as strong as it should be. Strong ethics and concern for community.

Frontier was a great company to work
Copy Center Specialist (Former Employee), Rochester, NY – May 13, 2013
Pros: appreciation awards for hard work
Cons: having to say good-bye when the copy center got closed
I absolutely loved my job. I would receive jobs daily from in-house customers and external Frontier customers, Jobs could be just a simple document or it could be a huge job of 400-800 pages which also had to to be colored and 3-holed and put into binders, I loved the idea that I could get 10 different jobs all at once and I was always able to multi-task – more... to get them done ahead of schedule. The hardest part of my job was when they decided to close the copy center. the most enjoyable part of the job was the interacting with all my customers. They appreciated all my hard work. – less

Enjoyed working with the people
Customer Service (Former Employee), Fort Wayne, IN – May 6, 2013
Pros: earning rewards for hard work
Cons: the job ended
A typical day for me is taking a call from a customer that either wants new service or has a current issue with bill or service. I definitely listen to the customer and proactively resolve their issues. I got along with my co-workers well and the hardest part of my job was being too trusting of other people but what I did learn is that it is ok to say – more... no sometimes. – less

Changing environment that was forever challenging.
High Speed Internet Provisioner (Former Employee), Dallas, PA – May 1, 2013
Started working at Commonwealth Telephone Company but was later bought out by Frontier Communications Services. Having work there for nearly 40 years of which the greater part of these years as under Commonwealth, my work was a big part of my life that only provided a means of living but a life in it's self. My co-workers became my friends and my family. – more... I grew as a person gaining self confidence with each new job experience and learning on a daily basis. I was challenged and challenged others to learn new and exciting processes that came with the new technologies. The hardest part was losing my job as a result of restructuring that also comes with new technologies. My experience was positive and rewarding and I will be forever grateful. – less

Call center rep
Sales and Service Specialist (Former Employee), deland – April 30, 2013
Although my job required a lot of answering phones, I did enjoy the office "busy work" There was constant work. The job paid well, the management and employees were all in sync. Another pro & con would be the competitiveness that comes along with commission , but I will say it pushed everyone to work harder and as a team.
