Comcast Comm Tech I reviews

The starting salary is not at the level it should be with the amount of skills, math and interpersonal skills that are needed in training and real world to be successful. Turnover is to great for these very reasons and end up costing the company more on the bottom line than needs to be. If plumbers and electricians were paid what we are paid then we would not have either. The statistics that we have to maintain are set at different levels, with some being set to low, which brings into the fold micro-managing. I am currently looking for another career and have a 4 year business administration degree and am a 10 year retired law enforcement officer with a vast knowledge of ethics and professionalism.

Work load. We had a decent benefits package. Hourly pay has always been 30-50% lower than competition (Fairpoint, Verizon whose top-pay tops out at $35/hr guaranteed after 4.5 years for field techs) but a good work environment and adequate benefits package was acceptable. But with the recent company decision to cutback the 401k match by 25% and drastically increase the health-care premiums, as much as 30%, despite posting a 53% profit increase in Q2 2009 and a 22% profit increase Q3 2009 has many wondering, "Customer First.....Employees Last????"
