Pros

None cable should be free but comcast wants everyone to pay something, so you will be charged 30 plus dollars get ready. Also do not sign up for their security, you will pay for cameras that you cannot use after leaving comcast, you will waste 300 dollars on that wasteful system, beware the cameras arent transferrable. Only pro i can think of is some guys u work with are cool, some are also stupid for making this job a career and are getting ripped off with crappy pay.

Cons

Micromanagement to the bone!!! Repeats have gotten worse! Every job whether its a small job where all u gotta do is work on the outside of the home still hurts your peformance if customer calls about something wrong in the inside. Time frames are the dumbest thing! (The customer agents from syria)-act like they are in a special needs group. Cant talk correctly, and they will put anything as the problem in the home, like telling customers you will come there and change all the equiptment for free. (Internet x the customers)- customers will complain because they pay for 400 mbps and they computer is only allowed to pull 200, so now u are there tryna convince a customer that they computer is the problem, it will clearly result in a Repeat, and its nothing you can do about it. (Raise)-You will never get a raise now with these new metrics they rolled out, they made its twice as hard now to move up, and its still just as long. Moving up takes 6 months to do, no matter how good you are or how much experience or awards you get. You will be in one title for years here, so if u com tech 2, get prepared to be that way for 2 years i guarantee it. (Vans)- you will drive the oldest vans ever, some of these vans were created when i was 8 years old and im 22 now so you do the math, it will be roaches in the vans. And you will break down a couple times as well. (Everybody is off at 6:30)-no matter what, jobs stop rolling normally around 5:50 but comcast wont let you sit and wait til 6:30, they will give you some crappy job to do at 6:10 or 6:15 right before its time to go home, and it will probably be a job where u gotta pull your ladder out and climb a pole. (Pedestals)-, they put the pedestal in the worst areas i notice like you will have to jump a fence to get to somebody yard because they locked their gate and u cant go over and work on what you need too. We used to be able to no access a job if you cannot get into a yard to work on it, now they took that away and you have to just take a repeat if you cannot get back there. (Pht)- you cant even close your job because of this feature called pht, its a home check and it looks at everything, i mean everything, even things you cant even work on, so if you try to close your job and it has a red x on it, be prepared to spend another hour trying to fix a problem thats not even customer related. Most of the time it fails because of the network team yet you still gotta find a way to fix everything, aka your taking the blame! (Network team)- god forbid you have to call them to verify its an issue on there side, they will grill you, talk to you with no respect tell you that its your fault and make you do extra things just to prove to them that its not something you can fix. (Bonuses)-after like 4 months you get this taxed bonus check that is given to you based on how you peformed in a quarter, its also based on the whole office peformance, so if the office did bad, guess what! Your bonus will be bad, highest you will get being new to the company is 450 dollars extra on 1 check. They tax it heavy.

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.
