Pros

Very large, stable, well established company. Third-largest U.S. telecommunications company (after Verizon and AT&T). Successfully managing the decline in some lines in business by gaining traction in new lines of business. Good benefits; health, vision, dental, 401k, tuition reimbursement, etc... Generally, very good training for most positions.

Cons

Lags behind industry averages in compensation for some positions.

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.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We value your input. We're disappointed to hear about your experience at Lumen. 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. We appreciate your hard work!
