Part-Time Outbound/Inbound Collections Agent (Former Employee), New York, NY – May 15, 2013
Pros: the job was flexible.
Cons: there were no benefits available for part-time employees, and having to work at night, and every saturday.
I found working at Time Warner Cable to be extremely productive. I always was busy when handling inbound and outbound calls for customers in TWC collections department. I learned how to use their computer software and also how to deal with difficult people. My co workers and management were always helpful and courteous. The hardest part of my job was – more... getting some customers to pay the full balances on their accounts. The most enjoyable part was helping people, and having them pay the full balance on their accounts. – less
Call Center Representative TSS Agent (Former Employee), San Antonio, TX – May 14, 2013
A typical day at work was sitting at the computer for a full shift and assisting customers with any issues that they had with their internet, cable or home phone service. We learned how to properly troubleshoot our devices to ensure that we were able to satisfy the customer 100%. My co-workers were amazing. The hardest part of the job was being written – more... up after I had to leave work early, because I thought I was miscarrying my child. They knew the situation and I'm surprised that after this happened, and it was something that was uncontrollable, that they would not have written me up. I had to threaten legal action in order for them to realize that they can not write up a woman if she has to leave to go to the emergency room when she is miscarrying her child! Nothing was enjoyable after this experience. – less

Manager of Systems Operations (Current Employee), Durham ,NC – May 13, 2013
Pros: free cable for employees
Cons: night maintenance windows, long hours oncall, no concren for personal life
Time Warner Cable has some of the most talented and dedicated people that I have worked with in this field. I managed a highly skilled team that took new product offerings and services from Engineering design to implementation. We also maintained, upgraded and monitored all systems. They say that if you enjoy what you do, then you will never work a – more... day and that was the case for many years with this job. Unfortunately every shakeup with Sr management means they have to make changes to put their stamp on the company. After several rounds of restructuring and layoffs, the company seems to be losing many of their most talented people as they move on to find stability. – less
A typical day at Time Warner Cable is production. Assuring the right amount of equipment is tested good and shipped out to the correct area within the given time frame. I have learned a deeper knowledge of how a telecommunication company runs there business and how the equipment itself works. I have also learned what it takes to be a team. Management – more... at my place of employment is great. They have always been very understanding and helpful. The team I work with, as hard as it is for me to say, are some what hard to deal with at times but I just stay focused to my duties. The hardest part about this job is balancing the hours with my life outside of work. But I do enjoy being able to put in my knowledge and willingness to learn more into TWC to ensure production. – less
