Pros
I am wanting to write a real review on Cbeyond as perceived from the employee who thought there was better than a company than one that promoted from within, recognized hard working employees, worked with you on your schedule, assisted in helping you reach your bonus potential, gave you all the tools to succeed and the list goes on. I left to pursue a "job" at a very successful start up company. Benefits were fantastic, atmosphere was wonderful but it was missing the things that glue a business together. The ability to grow and learn was missing, the passion for the customer was missing, and the "team" environment was not there.The honest truth is the job is not always easy. Job posts sound appealing because that is what they are meant to do. I am grateful and blessed to return to a place that is going to allow me to complete the career that I started.
Cons
My honest cons were my own. I want to list what I complained about then explain. When in Tier 1 I did not like 30 min lunches. In Tier 1 and 2 I thought there should be more formal training. Honestly these werent real company issues. The 1st was a preference, and the 2nd was a fault of my own and many people. Training for work is no different than school. If you dont invest personal time, you will never grow. On the happy note though as I was in my final 2 weeks there was a lot more training available.
