Pros

Work life balance can be good.

Cons

-Very low base pay.. 40k -Good old boys environment for senior leadership within the company. No chance of advancement or getting promoted. -Another review on here mentioned it was like selling penny stocks... That's exactly what it's like. You can prospect and call all day, as soon as they find out you're selling cable advertising, they aren't buying, and you're looked at as if you are bottom of the barrel.. If they do, you're getting a fraction of the budget that they spend with competitors. -They cannot catch up on the digital advertising.. which is disheartening considering the size of the company and the available resources. Smaller digital vendors are eating their lunch in every aspect from delivery, reporting, and client user interface. -The new leader of Effectv, Pooja is wildly unqualified for her position. She has no visibility within the company, no communication, and no clear path for Effectv's success. Her predecessor James Rooke did a great job of leading the company, and she's managed to run it in to the ground in less than a year. -HR has no presence within the organization. They moved all of their payroll and HR services over to a third party. I haven't seen or heard from anyone in HR in years.. honestly. - The company has just recently set a threshold on a spending requirement for clients, which if not met, will not be able to do business with us anymore. That's correct.. They have said it publicly that they know they are losing money by doing this. So what ever little money you were able to get from some clients will be gone. -If you want to bust your butt every day and only make 50-60k a year in an outside sales job then go for it.

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.
