Pros

Freedom to make your own schedule for sales.

Cons

Horrible after the sale is made, installs are the worst, billing is nightmare and nobody at CenturyLink cares about you or the customer. Since CenturyLink purchased Level 3 it only got worse. All of the C level at CenturyLink were replaced with Level 3 people. CenturyLink does not like to pay commissions and you have to fight for every dollar that they owe you. By the way, they like to charge customers for services that are not even installed.

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.
