      Good people, no growth - VoIP Technician Lumen Employee Review

      Pros

      The people you work with are inviting and will help you excel. It is a good environment to get your feet wet in the industry. They use a "forged in fire" approach, as in you will be working and fixing issues very soon. You may not know how, but you will work through the issue to get an answer.

      Cons

      Little to no training. No room for growth, there has been a hiring freeze and almost no promotions since covid started. Pray and hope that you get a good manager, if you end up getting the wrong one it is pretty common to be missing tools with no way to get them. They pay under the market for almost every job

      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!
