Perks of Working for Asurion
People love the work from home position from Asurion for many reasons. Like any work from home job, the convenience of not having to drive to an office is very desirable. This means you can stay in your pajamas all day if you want. Or at least you don’t need to spend money on business clothing.
Some people like the sense of achievement they get from helping customers solve problems.
Asurion offers employment; it’s not a contracted position. After 30 days, health and dental benefits are available to their work from home department. That’s a perk that you don’t usually get with work at home jobs.

What is the Training for Asurion?
According to a review, training is 3 weeks of intense training, with 75% being self-paced coursework. One review said it wasn’t thorough enough, yet another said it was excellent training. If you’ve done call center type work before, you’ll probably pick it up faster than if you don’t have call center experience.

It sounds like you will bid on your schedule. But you’ll keep the same schedule for 6 months, which is great because you’ll know what to expect. You will have 2 consecutive days off weekly.
Yearly, you will receive two weeks of vacation, three sick days, and three personal days.
Asurion Feedback
There is no shortage of reviews on Glassdoor! I filtered the reviews by full-time and work at home, and reduced the 1,400 reviews down to 24. Here are the pros and cons from work at home employees:
Pros:
- Several reviews referred to the ability to earn bonuses, up to 25% per month.
- You will have many opportunities to take time off for the whole day or throughout the day.
- You can trade shifts.
- Depending on what carrier you take calls for, you might get some holidays off.
- You’re eligible for multiple incentives, bonuses, and there’s room for growth.
- If you want overtime, there will likely be opportunities daily.
- You’re saving on commute time and expense by working at home.
- You will have employment benefits such as insurance and paid vacation time.
Cons:
- I read in several reviews that the customers are mean. Remember, they are only calling with problems; no one ever calls customer service to say I love my device!
- You’ll be very busy, with back to back calls.
- Lunch is only 30 minutes. But you’re at home, so it’s not like you will forget your lunch!
- You need to be motivated to work for yourself and by yourself.
- You’ll work every weekend, at least getting started.
- Some reviews said they felt like it was hard getting help since they aren’t in an office with people. Everything is virtual.

Good review!
Much more thorough than what’s on Glass door. I had to learn to not worry too much about the Glass door reviews, because I quickly found almost every company and job has those who will complain about it. People with negative experiences will head online to vent sooner than people who like the job.
It sounds like for someone comfortable with phone calling and with thick skin, Asurion can be pretty Good! Especially with those benefits.
Thanks for reading Jordan. You’re 100% right about that. Glad you enjoyed the review.
