Pros

Great benefts Almost free services Met some really great people Theres a 20 word.minimum requirement but I'm stuck

Cons

Way to complicated for something as simple as cable internet and phone service. Greed forces them to try their hand in new products they have no business offering. Signature support. Home security. Skype when they can't even get the process of ordering cable right. If you want to work at this company you have to be really great at navigating office politics because at this location there is a lot of politics. I MEAN A LOT! Senior management does not run the business HR does. And for being in HR these folks are some of the most malicious people I have ever met. Extremely too faced and secretive. My manager was a complete bafoon and had absolutely no idea what he was doing. He did not know how to relate to people and always compared me to a statistic or theory of some sort. Horrible managers in general they get together on weekends with a select group of their favorite supervisors and talk about all of the other supervisors and frontline employees and make fun of them. Working at this location was a complete mind game. Nothing is ever as is appears and there is always an alterier motive. Way to secretive. The performance management changes from month to month and some really great people.have been fired because of this ever changing plan. I actually think if some of the people who got fired knew about this they could possible file a law suit. Funny thing about this is that if they ever by weird chance read this they will say . Well if they didnt like us or working here then its prob better they're gone. Arrogance!

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.
