Pros

Poor benefits to field technicians, a small discount towards xfinity services

Cons

Installed and troubleshoot xfinity services such as internet, tv, voice/telephone and security systems, field technician that drove to around 16 comcast xfinity customers per day, worked in muddy crawl spaces with insects and animals/snakes/rodents, unsafe attics, physically violent customers and their violent pets, very mean supervisors/managers that weren't concerned about your safety, low pay with no bonuses, immediate termination if you accepted a tip from customer, fear tatics constantly used against employees/comtechs, extremely stressful job with poor benefits package, comtechs would constantly be terminated, impossible to trust anyone, impossible to get help with your job from others, comcast woukd fire you if you admitted to having a disability and gave supporting medical documentation, horrible company, bad treatment of techs led to poor treatment of customers, no chance for most technicians to advance within the company, Comcast doesn't hire from within hardly at all, you spend your own money on gas driving to Comcast training academy near stone mountain for the first few months, your supervisor will require that you stay at unsafe (possibly violent) job sites based on how the customers sounds over the telephone when your supervisor speaks to them instead of letting you leave because the technician feels unsafe (this has happen more than 80 times), other technicians will bully other techs on issues involving several topics including racial color, sexual preferences such as being gay or lesbian, religious affiliation, inappropriate profanity (from other techs and supervisors), weight, physical attributes, creed, gender and several other topics - management and human resources don't care to help you when you voice your concerns, techs carry firearms on their person and in their work vehicles (I've been bullied at gun point and the supervisors refuse to help because they don't want to get involved).

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.
