    Ordering DirecTV - not for the faint of heart

    I stopped doing pre calls 2 months into the job. A lot of customers hated the pre call because when I put myself in route they got the robo call.

    New direct tv technician seeking information for a smooth employment.

    Charge backs really suck. All it takes for the CSR to hit you with a NC roll back(charge back) is up to them. I had it happen to me last month. All because a customer didn't call me first.
