Pros

Remote work opportunity is the only pro.

Cons

I’ve never experienced such a lack of professionalism in my entire life. Over half the training class quit, and that should’ve been my sign then but I stayed several months anyway. We’re constantly cursed out by customers and told how they have much better service from other internet providers, and many of us hear this OFTEN. Their systems bug multiple times throughout the day, conflicting information from leadership happens multiple times throughout the day every day, and the speeds are actually extremely slow. Most customers whose accounts I’ve accessed are under 60M. It’s 2023, be for real. The minimum wage for the work that they expect is laughable, especially because the same quality of work is not consistent across departments. The customers can tell that many agents don’t know what they’re talking about and express this often. Brightspeed needs to get it together faster than they claim they are or it won’t last long, as several customers have told me..

Pros

Many of the employees have been working together for a long time, most of them came from the initial merger between Lumen Technologies and Brightspeed. The general feel is good between peers and the friendships are great.

Cons

The company has terrible leadership and has treated merger employees as if we we were not a part of the company, even though we were the ones that stood up the new brand. Micromanaging leaders, they dont' trust or empower and caused a lot of friction by not backing employees. All values were lost in the merger.
