Pros

The high discount on services employees receive.

Cons

Middle management is only concerned with metrics and sales numbers. The ability to repair services properly or solve customers challenges is not nearly as important as making the call as short as possible. If you are capable of pushy sales tactics then this repair department is for you. Also, be prepared to learn on your own time. New employee training is woefully short, especially since you will be supporting every facet of the business. Don't expect a nice office, a cubicle large enough to spin a chair in and clean restroom facilities. Also, be sure to plan your vacations a year in advance. I lost two vacation days because our scheduling system didn't allow me to take vacation days from October to December as we were "under-staffed".

Pros

Comcast has great benefits, and a great culture. The company seems to promote from within, and moves it's employees around for advancement.

Cons

The company is managed by an "old cable system regime", meaning that it has a very dated and finance driven management style. It takes alot of red tape to get things done.

Pros

- Lots of opportunity to take on additional responsibility and grow your skills. - Smart, creative people to work with. - The company knows how to deliver cash flow.

Cons

- Little opportunity to be recognized or promoted for taking on additional responsibility. - Work long hours under high pressure to hit unrealistic targets. - The top focus is financial. People (employees & customers) come second. - The pace of change causes high stress, disillusionment and burnout. - Moving from a decentralized company to more centralized (i.e., more structure, less flexibility).
