Pros

Discounted Cable, internet and phone Awesome Co-workers and supervisors Really good perks like discounted tickets to Universal studios and places A generally warm corporate culture

Cons

*Constant changes in procedures that we aren't informed of until days after the fact. *A serious lack of interdepartmental communication. The left hand never knows what the right is doing. *Tools and processes that we previously had access to have been removed and given to third party centers and has made the process of actually assisting technicians unnecessarily difficult. If you're in the dispatch department, it's like the pit of doom. There is no advancement, floor support was taken away despite the need for it. It's hard to get out of that department and I've been trying for a year.I actually think I had a better chance of advancement as a customer service rep than in the dispatch department. The entire department is a dead end. Also in the dispatch department, as a fulfillment specialist (a fancy word for tech support for techs), there is actually no real way that we are measured as far as stat wise. We haven't had score cards in nearly a year and even though it sounds fine, it means that they don't have any real way to measure you when its time for evaluations for raises so they give you all average scores when you've actually done better in reality. The pay for the dispatch department is a laugh and the bumps in pay are next to nothing. I've been working there 4 years and I'm pretty sure, I would have a higher salary had I actually stayed in customer service. They have all this money to buy Time Warner but not enough to give people actual raises.

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.
