Pros

good benefits, fulltime hours, they provide all the tools and equipment. You get a fair amount of time off assuming you put your time off in at least a month in advance and in most cases for major holidays a year to year and a half in advance.

Cons

They expect you do to so much work for so little pay. Hours are completely and totally inflexible. Constant changing metrics makes it hard to get raises/promotions. Being expected to fix/do the job of everyone in the company even though they don't give you the training, tools, or knowledge on how to do so. As a technician they expect you to be the end all be all to help customers with their issues. Unfortunately as a technician they also expect you to do the job of the call centers, the sales staff, the equipment repair department, I.T., accounts recievable (I.E. debt collectors), as well as general bad news delivery. And they expect you to do all of this for just a couple of dollars over minimum wage while telling you they pay way more than the rest of the job market which is a lie. Programs and APPs to do you're day to day job go down daily making incredibly difficult to do your job. Sales staff steal commisions from technicians as well as making promises technicians can't keep that's if they just don't flat out lie to customers. Comcast says technicians are the most important part of the company but every other sales position or call center position has a higher starting wage and the metrics aren't nearly as difficult to make. Also upon hiring Comcast will tell you you're shift as a technician will at a certain time and that's not true. Technicians work until all the appointments have been met. Too bad quota over books every single day so you never get out on time.

Pros

Poor benefits to field technicians, a small discount towards xfinity services

Cons

Installed and troubleshoot xfinity services such as internet, tv, voice/telephone and security systems, field technician that drove to around 16 comcast xfinity customers per day, worked in muddy crawl spaces with insects and animals/snakes/rodents, unsafe attics, physically violent customers and their violent pets, very mean supervisors/managers that weren't concerned about your safety, low pay with no bonuses, immediate termination if you accepted a tip from customer, fear tatics constantly used against employees/comtechs, extremely stressful job with poor benefits package, comtechs would constantly be terminated, impossible to trust anyone, impossible to get help with your job from others, comcast woukd fire you if you admitted to having a disability and gave supporting medical documentation, horrible company, bad treatment of techs led to poor treatment of customers, no chance for most technicians to advance within the company, Comcast doesn't hire from within hardly at all, you spend your own money on gas driving to Comcast training academy near stone mountain for the first few months, your supervisor will require that you stay at unsafe (possibly violent) job sites based on how the customers sounds over the telephone when your supervisor speaks to them instead of letting you leave because the technician feels unsafe (this has happen more than 80 times), other technicians will bully other techs on issues involving several topics including racial color, sexual preferences such as being gay or lesbian, religious affiliation, inappropriate profanity (from other techs and supervisors), weight, physical attributes, creed, gender and several other topics - management and human resources don't care to help you when you voice your concerns, techs carry firearms on their person and in their work vehicles (I've been bullied at gun point and the supervisors refuse to help because they don't want to get involved).
