Pros

Hourly pay rate is good. The hourly salary will enable one to support a family. Anymore, it is rare that a Corporation will actually compensate its employees with a salary that exceeds the minimum standards of poverty as defined by the U.S. Gov't.

Cons

For current employees or applicants for emplyment at Centurylink, DO NOT accept ANY employment offer in New Mexico! New Mexico's management at all levels is is confused and deluded. If you are willing to be an unethical and dishonest employee, come to New Mexico and work for Centurylink! You will do well and have a job for life! For people that desire some form of job satisfaction/fulfillment, seek employment in the State of Washington.

Pros

Good pay, great benefits, great people to work with, boss is great, etc.

Company is undergoing transformation, so it's a bit chaotic. Have to work with old stuff and new stuff at the same time. Hopefully that will change as we transform further.
