Pros

Insurance and the Wellness Program

Cons

This was once a great company. It sprung a leak when it purchased Embark. That leak became a geyser after purchasing Qwest. Moving Qwest leaders into management positions in non-legacy Qwest areas. It's like giving the Queen Mary over to the crew of the Titanic. Moral is low. Retirement will not come quick enough. Upper management focusing too much on the larger cities. Rural offices are floundering.

Pros

The managers are very supportive when it comes to career development and mobility at Lumen.

Cons

Lumen has gone through several organizational restructures, which created uncertainty and placed additional responsibilities on frontline employees. While change is sometimes necessary, better planning and communication could help reduce the burden on customer-facing teams and improve the overall employee experience.
