Pros

There were some good people that I met along the way. Employee's are able to make a difference with the customer. In the last few years, many ineffective employees were let go (many were good old boys). Finally, the company started to offer proper high speed internet to many locations.

Cons

The lack of accountability lowered moral and productivity. This created an environment where good workers were punished and poor/sloppy workers were not. Database and workforce software upgrades were poorly designed and impliemented. It usually seemed like they were implemented too early and were done in haste in order to meet a deadline.

Pros

Good pay, great benefits, great people to work with, boss is great, etc.

Cons

Company is undergoing transformation, so it's a bit chaotic. Have to work with old stuff and new stuff at the same time. Hopefully that will change as we transform further.
