Pros

Can be Interesting and challenging jobs

Cons

The industry is extremely competitive & is constantly changing, (daily), however the company wants front-line employees, (that have first customer contact), to do more & more in less & less time while constantly removing & restricting access to benefits that the company supplies creating a very stressful environment, affecting employees mental as well as physical health, with low financial compensation. There is a revolving door mentality in management. There is NO job security. From the day that job training is completed, there is the constant threat of termination, even for washroom usage. Stress comes not only from management but customers as well, who constantly complain about the companies business practices. Employees can't even make plans w/family because of the system set in place for scheduled time off. In most cases, you don't know until the day OF whether requested time off was approved or not. Employees are REQUIRED on every call to promote & sell additional products & services to customers but the company keeps changing the employee commission structure so employees are required to sell morre & more with less & less commission compensation.

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.
