Pros

Good benefits Dental and Vision thought the Medica was too high costly, 401K matching 3% the company I’m with now matched 6% dollar for dollar, flextime is good.

Cons

Horrible to their employees, they tell you your goal is to sell like this is a sales jobs but it’s more customer service, the service is horrible, the majority of the calls that come through are customer complaints, billing, technical issues, techs no show for appts of new install and technical repair. When customers call in complaining about bad service and ask for adjustments and if we refuse they Esc to mananagement leads don’t want to take calls when customers escalate to a Sup telling us to give adj and we recently had a meeting on adjustments and how much over the amount has been given therefore causing the company to lose so much money in the millions but we are punished for it because I’ve been with the company well over a year and never got a raise!

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.

Unfortunately, at times, restructuring, reorganizations, or realignment to business realities is needed to drive our continued transformation and company growth. These decisions are difficult and not something we take lightly. Lumen understands the impacts these events have on our employees and provides support and guidance through the challenging transitions. Please reach out to us at CTLHRActionTeam@lumen.com if you would like to discuss anything further. We're glad you value our medical benefits and AI integration. Thank you again for your feedback.
