Happy to provide a little bit of insight.

Many of you have already said and shared your stories. Customer Service is one of the most important pillars of our business. It is how we got started 10+ years ago.

We do not shut down accounts due to lack of buying activity. As you all know you can lose partner rewards perks from not buying but that is normal. As long as you are still in the industry your account will stay active.

Dawn Boland, our VP of Customer Care is ready to answer any further questions you might have on this specific topic in reference to SnapAV. You can email her at [email protected]. I want to avoid discussing specifics on the forums.

Sears canceled my card because I wasn't using it. Maybe the cost for credit card management is higher, but I had a zero balance.

I just read their policies- maybe the OP reviewing this would shed some light.

CS is typically very good, when you can get through to them.

I'm in this situation now, waiting on TS to answer. 25 minutes now.

Looks like customer service will be talked about on the AV Nation "State of Control" podcast this week. And no, it is not good. The little guys are friends with lots of other little guys...

I'm not sure I'd quantify opening/closing of an account as customer service. I count what happens with defective or problem equipment or help making their products work. I don't call them much. We had an issue with Spotify failing to connect and I'd suggest they did about as well as one could expect. Tech support costs money and good tech support requires a significant investment.

The wait time was way too long, however the support once they answered was quick and excellent.

Hold times have gotten a bit out of control. Email to tech support as well. That should NEVER take a day. EVER.

That's no good, sometimes one just calls on a bad day though. There could training/development, team builder, retirement party, who knows. Snap is good about communication though with banners on their site etc...

About the OP situation though, having worked in a corporate B2B call center for two years, there are a lot of bad reps out there. I saw dozens of reps come in go, typically in the first 90 days, but sometimes more.

at $8-11 per hour what can one expect?

I figured that once SNAP got so big and purchased - the SNAP we knew would start to fade - like most all other companies. Bottom line is now the overall performance metric - not customer experience.

Derek - I'm looking for you to add MORE insight on this common theme..and what is being done about it. When Ranger is publicly complaining about SNAP you should be listening!

Oh no, this was $15-20/hr plus bonus on your margin $$, and that was 10+ years ago. The biggest thing to push me out was the horrendous systems we had to deal with. Even with decent money and benefits, I saw a ton of terrible reps.

Dawn Boland, VP of Customer Care here.....I thought I would
weigh in since Tech Support falls under my umbrella.

Thanks to all for the good and the not so good feedback. As far as current hold times in tech support, our goal is to answer 75% of the calls we receive within 3 minutes. As of late, we have not maintained this service level and hold times have been higher than we would like. We have recently added additional agents which means hold times should get back to normal soon.

As far as email turn times, we have a same day response policy and have been adhering to this standard. I apologize that there was a delay for some of you. This should not be the case. I have asked our Sr. Tech Support Manager to research this situation.

I view all feedback (good and bad) as a gift and take it very serious. I have been with Snap for 9 years and would love to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out to me personally at [email protected] or call me direct at 704.909.5871 to discuss any areas of concerns that you have.
Thanks for your continued support!
