Technical Support Specialist Reviews
What is it like working as a Technical Support Specialist?
December 2017
Lots of work demands.
Technical Support Specialist in San Jose:
Pros: Job security and the ability to work as long as you want as long as you do your job.
Cons: Minimal job advancement and opportunities for careers growth and development.
December 2017
International exposure, dealing with different cultures.
Technical Support Specialist in Cairo:
As "technical support" is one of the areas that needs continuous learning, development & product/solution knowledge, my first advice is to be always "learning" and never get bored doing so.
Also because this job normally deals with a variety of cultures it is quite key to develop your own cross-culture support profile.
Wish you good luck, it is an interesting job!

Over worked and underpaid.

September 2017
Technical Support Specialist in Canyon Country:

August 2017
Work Review.
Technical Support Specialist in Salt Lake City:
Pros: What I liked most about the job was learning new ways to work with technology and how to work with less technical people to assist them with their services.
Cons: The least thing I liked about my job was dealing with unpleasant customers that may either give you a bad review for something that's not your fault or getting screamed or cursed at, but that's part of the job and you have to rely on your customer service skills so you can shift from the problem to the solution.
