Pros

They have a solid benefits package that I have not seen with any other Employer. Everything from the standard HSA and PPO to free Cable/Internet/Landlines services. Pat and Tom McAdaragh are overall great leaders for the company. My direct manager and his manager are solid people. Midco has been around 90+ years is genuinely the best in the business compared to their direct competition. My direct managers are very open to hearing concerns.

Cons

Starting pay and annual raises are great if you're starting your first full time job but not enough to raise a family unless you're a top performer. Even then, it's not great. Career opportunities from an entry level position leave a lot to be desired. Almost every non-customer facing positions require a degree however, Midco does offer a reimbursement opportunity. The internal systems also leave a lot to be desired for a tech company. The network itself and the infrastructure that runs the services works great but the account management tools lack reliability and are highly antiquated. Sales goals only go up annually and have become increasingly difficult to meet expectations and make bonus. If you use the PTO, your goals do not change. Which means vacations or excused absences hinder you from meeting expectations in many cases and must be considered when planning time off. Direct management seems to be powerless when it comes to getting better pay.

Pros

Good shifts. Most major holidays off. I enjoy working with my supervisor and their director. Free internet.

Cons

Everyone above the director position seems to be Losing the heartbeat of what's going on in the world. We're discouraged from asking about cost of living wage increases. I asked in the past and was told to use a financial consultant benefit (lux) which was an insult although they likely didn't realize this. Employee surveys were switched to bi-annual which is a terrible idea. Total compensation is becoming significantly less competitive. We have some employees who drive Ashton Martins to work and others who are worried about how we stay afloat and debt free in this economy. Midco upper management appears none deaf or apathetic to this concern. The company is investing in AI which is disconcerting as someone who would likely lose their job. Sales tools are so antiquated and no end in sight of a viable sales tool (despite over a decade of asking for one). Career progression is stagnant. The only progression offered is a higher sales goal. Sales is a dead end if you have higher aspirations. Quality of life for front end employees has gone downhill since Ben Dold took over. Pat cared about the front line. Ben hardly acknowledges the work we do to keep the lights on.
