Overworked and underpaid. Expensive health benefits.

Pros

I like most of the people that I work with and I have grown a lot over the years. Convenient office location and free parking.

Cons

Low salary for management, lots of hours and no paid overtime so you are working for free, Health benefits are extremely expensive. Management assigns too much work to handle for one person. Stock price is so low that you don't make any money in your profit sharing. Promotions are given to those who put in the most hours. Recent CT Acquisition was not thought out or planned very well by upper management.

Pros

They have a lot of employee incentives, employee stock option, 401K matching, incentives to strive for higher sales (opportunity to make an extra $2 or $3 an hour for three months)

Cons

Call center environment. Got the flu and had a doctor's note to be out of work, came back to work and got a final write up as I was absent within my 90 probationary period. Was told that we would be getting something, but they never followed through.

Pros

Higher pay than average job for individual without a degree. Union job with great health benefits and vacation time. Freebies occasionally given out to high performers.

Cons

Extremely rough on employees on making sales goals. Frontier is all about the sales and no focus is on service. You are a SALESMAN. There is no customer service. If a customer calls in to cancel a phone line because their spouse just died, you are expected to stop that cancellation and sell them internet, tv, and internet security in 12 minutes or less. No rest for the weary, you have absolutely no break between phone calls, not even 5 seconds. Expect an entire shift of chaos. Many customers fall through the cracks due to their focus on absolute profit and not service and you are the ear that gets screamed off for letting them down. Also, You are an "emergency worker" in their eye. So if the entire city shuts down due to 7 feet of snow, you are still expected to be there. When I started working here, I was hired in with 40 people. When I put in my 2 weeks, 36 of them were gone. I worked here a year and a half. They have approximately 150-200 Sales Associates in this call center, but probably hire 320 people a year... You do the math.
