Pros

The very best thing about comcast was the heavily discounted cable/Internet services. The health benefits weren't bad either. The office was a reasonable distance from my home.

Cons

For such a large company, I find it deplorable that they would allow some employees to sit in system failure for months on end. You come to work to essentially sit at your cubicle for 8 hours and do nothing else. During this time period that you are obviously not on the phone, you can't sell services to anyone, therefor you earn no commission. Also, you can't do overtime for the same reason. I was screwed out of thousands of dollars. And when I found another job, my supervisor decided to reject all my time that I worked. So I missed out on two weeks worth of pay. Also since I was present for the entire quarter, I earned the bonus that was also withheld. Someone needs to get their act together there when it comes to solving system issues. I can understand the occasional glitch, but to be off the phone for 6+ months, unacceptable. I'd never advise anyone to work there. Also, in regards to promotions, I watched one individual who constantly was rude on the phone, disrespectful to fellow employees, including management, get promoted. She would also constantly transfer calls back into the call queue when she didn't feel like doing her job.

Pros

Working at Comcast has given me the opportunity to develop myself; take the time to grow and learn, and that was really important to me during the time in my life when I joined the company. If you have the drive and ambition, there are a ton of ways in which you can grow into a leader if that's what you want to be. I took advantage of the continued education benefit and am finishing my masters degree now... I also joined a couple of the employee resource groups which offer seminars and networking events that support your professional profile. Listen, I'm not a total nerd. The point of my post is that this isn't a company you join and just stay stale within. They encourage your growth, but it's up to you to make it happen. Not only this - it's pretty exciting. We're busy and we have big jobs to do. My salary is in the top percentile for my industry but not only this, I again get the continued education (which is ~$6K/year) plus free cable/internet, top health care benefits and a truly balanced lifestyle - which is rarely the case within the Tech industry.

Cons

Telling people you work at Comcast triggers 2 typical responses: 1) A big hatred rant on customer service 2) A how do I get my foot in the door? The reputation of the company is difficult, but the style of the company is to stay humble - I've never seen the company defend themselves against the harmful and discrediting news that exists. I personally think they should defend themselves a little more - they are between a rock and a hard place in many instances of service. I personally experienced visiting someone's home where the issues they were having with their connection was due to a tree root growing into the cable lines which had been their for over 20 years. Things like that cannot be diagnosed over a phone call. It's hard work in the field for sure. Being a part of the corporate side sometimes we're too disconnected from what's happening on the frontline. So I think the size of the organization comes with its complications, but again if you're a working professional looking for an exciting, robust and sexy career, you can comfortably have it here.
