Pros

In rural America a job at Frontier can be a good paying "job for life".

Cons

This is an old industry with many challenges in 2014 and beyond. Frontier was about 5,000 employees in 2010 and grew to almost 15,000 as a result of their Verizon acquisitions. The Former Verizon employees were used to higher pay, richer benefits etc. because they worked for a company that subsidized the money-losing old phone company they worked for with a hugely profitable wireless operation. When they got acquired by an old fashioned phone company, reality set in. And for them (now 2/3 of the company) reality bites! Verizon wanted no part of them and were glad to sell them off. Many took pay cuts and had to pay for their healthcare benefits (like 99% of America!). Frontier (reality) rocked their worlds. So I'm not surprised by the negative comments.

Pros

The majority of people I deal with on a daily basis are very happy to help and go the extra mile. The company is rounding its transition phase and you still have some workers who are sticking to the old way of running a business rather than what Frontiers current goals and objectives are. All in All, it is a very pleasant place to work, compensation is great compared to local market, benefits are good (401k, health, etc).

Cons

Every once in a while you will run across employees who are not satisfied with the current direction of management or are willing to change. Change is hard on people, but it is also good in most cases. One other con is the fact the company does not have a pension. Most companies don't anymore, but it would have been a nice perk!

Pros

Decent pay if you work hard and a very solid teamwork-oriented workgroup. You can make great money if you stay motivated and focused but not a job for the timid or meek.

Cons

Limited local promotion potential in the work at home groups but that is to be expected. Lots of rural customer base that see ads about 50 meg internet and feel it should be available to them as well.
