Pros

Some 401k matching, tuition reimbursement, mediocre healthcare plans

Cons

A very top-heavy company. Employee recommendations are not seriously considered. The bottom line at Comcast is money, they don't even try to improve services until customers are lost or make significant numbers of complaints. Systems used by employees are outdated and poorly designed. The company is outsourcing much of their jobs as long as they are not customer facing. The only thing keeping this company afloat is their non-competition footprint where other cable providers agree not to offer competing services. If a fiber provider moves into their internet service area, they will lose their internet service customers because they cannot compete with a fiber offering. If a company develops an internet video package with comparable channel offerings, I believe that Comcast will fold. The company's internal communications are very disorganized. It is nearly impossible for customer support staff to contact dispatch to get any information on the status of field technicians, or contact the NOC to escalate network issues. Annual wage increases are so low that any significant increase in income requires promotion. Management makes little to no effort to promote their employees. The company gave no notice prior to laying off my team and my position was posted on their job board under a different management region (to avoid being sued) the same day. This company has no qualms about laying off large teams and hiring others to do the same jobs at lower wages in different regions to increase profit.

Not the Best

Pros

Standard Benefits, staggered cost of living raises, incentive bonuses, and employee appreciation dinners plus holiday bonuses.

Cons

Everything else. Leadership is very bad, promotions are token at best, the company doesn't care about its entry to mid-level employees. Further they train you to take advantage of people and to retain their service at all costs even if it is keeping the customer stuck in their IVR so they can't tell you they want to cancel.

Pros

Good work-life balance, creative flexibility in research, Access to a plethora of data to help build your case, Decent benefits (free premium cable package was nice).

Cons

Revenue-based sales model often prevented innovation breakthroughs (part of this was due to an underdeveloped sales force), Low pay compared to industry standards, Increasing responsibility to sell in a non-sales position, limited career progression.
