Pros

Decent salary and benefits. Co workers are great. I wish I had more positive to say, but all of the positive things have been taken away over the past few years.

Cons

Chicagoland follows different policies than the rest of the nation.The focus is always on what you should have done better not what you did correctly. Goals celebrated in other areas are grounds for punishment out here. Everyone is always afraid of being fired, and many employees have been fired for next to nothing. Each day we look to see who is gone this time. Supervisors are always looking for a reason to write up their employees because they are being threatened that it is either the employee or them. Managers cannot speak up against management for fear of being fired themselves. Those who have refused to write up their employees have been let go. HR cannot be trusted. When you make a confidential report they turn you in. Comcast Listens is a joke. They refuse to do anything even though they admit there is a problem. There is no appreciation for doing a good job. Everyone who has been around for 5+ years talks about the old days and how bad the job has become. Micromanagement at its worst.

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.
