Pros

Once in the field, its a very enjoyable experience. Of course you have the crazy customers here and there that basically threaten you if you dont get their services up and running, but most people you encounter are very nice. Salary is decent but could and should be better. New hires really get low balled on pay now as they have deemed that training that brought you a %5 raise in the past is now part of another training.

Cons

MANY! Corporate is so worried about the bottom dollar that they skimp on everything from still putting out 7 year old non working boxes into the field and providing less and less "required" uniforms to field techs. You have to do so many "points" per day, that if you don't, your supervisor gets an email asking why you were unproductive during a certain time period. Problem is...you can get enough points for a day and a half for a simple install that takes 30 minutes or you can get an hours worth of points for the entire day if you are stuck at 1 trouble call.

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.
