Pros

Overall great business model for residential customers and bringing fiber to under served areas in the 20 states footprint. The C level leadership is strong and committed to the company's growth and employee's success. Excellent pay!

Cons

Enterprise & Wholesale (Business Side) do not have the right senior leadership to help execute and grow the business side of Brightspeed. It has turned into a Windstream posse trying to do the same initiatives or items that Windstream did. No idea or concept that is not born from the minds of a Windstream manager is even given a second thought. Not sure the Windstream model is what Brightspeed Business should be striving for. No opportunity for growth unless you are part of the Windstream Posse.

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.
