Pros

Big company with lots of products to sell

Cons

Approaching merger with L3 and the L3 leaders, Laurinda Pang, is telling our customers they are taking over the company and CenturyLink folks will be ousted after the merger. Furthermore the L3 leadership is telling CenturyLink customers they should stop doing business with CenturyLink until after the merger completes. This is not only against the FCC rules, prior to merger approval, but it is unethical. Commissions are bad and getting worse. I have been well over 100% of all quota numbers year over year and I have lost $50K per year for the last three years in commission plan reductions.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
