phone support

Has anyone noticed how lousy the phone support is for Proseries?  The only good thing I can say is that they get you to a human quickly.  However, I would prefer to wait on hold for an hour to get a person who knows what they are doing.

I called for something EFIN related last November and it was quick and painless. 

I havent had to call support for anything else in so many years I cant remember what kind of service was provided.

This group can usually help with program related issues better than support can anyhow.

Three times in the last two days I have called in to pro series support. I get phone reps that are hard to understand and they have absolutely no idea of the subject matter. All they did was simply scan the Internet to look for articles to send me. My questions were not that difficult. Anybody that has any working knowledge of the software can handle them.  After wasting 90 minutes on the phone with these three people, I was left doing my own Internet searches and experimenting with the software. Not good, not good at all.

I called in last tax season on a couple of issues, and I got very articulate persons that knew the software, and got me off the phone in a matter of minutes.

I have been a loyal customer for well over 20 years. But at this point, I am reconsidering what I’m going to do for next year.  I don’t need support much, but when I do, I do need it right away.

And Ruben asked what issues you are having in order to try and help you and instead of answering him, you just started to complain again.  Are you visiting here to fix a problem or just to vent?

@rich10  Personally, I prefer a copy of the original when making an amendment, so I always have both as filed and amended… I’ve had up to 3…. But as @Just-Lisa-Now-  says it’s personal preference….

Tech support is generally ok with product functionality questions but you can get the same from AI if you add ‘ProSeries” to the questions… Customer service (Manilla) is not. 

@IRonMaN  personally I come here to vent (and frequently rant)… The sun came up this morning on my easterly facing hotel room with blackout blinds that would not completely close. The coffee from room service was cold and housekeeping did not leave extra towels as requested. Last time I stay at the Ritz

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

Bruce... you need to get some 'hot' coffee.   This is an old post 😉

It was an old post with nothing happening until NOTHAPPENING brought it back from the grave.  So if he had at a least a lukewarm cup of coffee, he would have been fine.
