Pros

The benefits were fantastic. In national accounts, there were very few rules or regulations to follow. Just get it done, whatever it takes, do it.

Cons

At the end of the day, it is still a residential cable company at heart. They are very slow to change to the needs of the business to business sales environment. To their customers, they adopt a "it's my way or the highway" mentality and leave very little room to negotiate terms of their agreements, NDA's, etc. The national accounts operations team is over worked, when they work. Most show up by 10 and leave by 2. The administrative burden on the sales reps is monumental. But, thank God I was in national accounts... the SMB segment is a disaster. Turn over is over 50%. On average, a new BAE won't make it. You have better odds going to Vegas. It's churn and burn - they make their reps knock on 50 doors a day, as if anyone does. Ugh.

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.
