Pros

What makes working here special is the incredible people who surround you, lifting you up, cheering you on, and showing genuine care. It's not just about Effectv itself; it's the fantastic coworkers and supportive direct management that make the experience truly memorable. They create an environment that motivates, challenges, and rewards. These individuals are the heart of our success, turning every workday into something to look forward to. Plus, the added perk of great benefits just adds to the positivity of the whole experience.

Cons

Despite having supportive colleagues and managers, the Company itself lags behind in product development and experiences. While our competitors are surging ahead, we find ourselves struggling to keep pace. Instead of heeding the insights of frontline employees, decision-makers seem to favor leaders who lack firsthand selling experience. Over the years, I've observed numerous changes that primarily benefit those in executive positions rather than the individuals who contribute to building the company. This organization has consistently witnessed the departure of remarkable talents while retaining individuals who do not align with Effectv's mission and values. There seems to be a lack of appreciation for both clients and the dedicated efforts of Account Executives. We used to be a company that valued every client, regardless of their spending capacity or business size, offering exceptional experiences and gratitude. However, as our competitors elevate their game, we appear to be regressing. Sales thrive on relationships, and it appears that Effectv is drifting away from that fundamental aspect. I wouldn't be surprised if, in a few years, the company becomes purely transactional or faces the risk of elimination.

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.
