Pros

Almost free services, benefits are great, paternity/maternity leave is outstanding with 12 paid weeks.

Cons

Heavily underpaid compared to other ISPs and similar jobs in the area and getting an annual increase of 10 to 20 cents is average if you have excellent numbers. And moving up in the company or to a different dept guarantees nothing as HR has a rule that no employee can receive more than a 10% pay increase. (For non management roles)The company has been increasing layoffs more and more, by calling it restructuring or due to budget constraints and then farming more jobs over seas to contractors all the while claiming they do everything for the customer experience when really it's how much money can they save. The company will shove down your throat the customer experience and NPS ratings and customer feedback but refuse to implement any changes or provide any accountability to actually make changes that customers are looking for. Much less employees. We are constantly told that there is no money for training, for tools that dont fail daily, for a working IVR system customers can call in on and not be mistransfered three times, for cost of living raises etc, but then have to sit and watch the quarterly reports about billion dollar profits being made. It is a company culture strictly based around profits and you are consistently reminded you are disposable.

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.
