Pros

Decent pay and benefits even though most of that was carryover from Verizon and the CWA union. The union was definitely a pro, but the company actively worked against the union and was pushing those employees out.

Cons

The company actively shows how little it cares for it's general hourly employees from customer service to technical support. To the higher ups it is all about numbers and you as a person do not matter. They also had little in the way of advancement after the transition as they actively were putting the squeeze on pretty much all departments and not allowing for upwards mobility to other positions within the company. You matter even less so being part of the CWA union because they constantly were actively trying to force such employees out and basically were union busting. From their acquisition in 2016 they had multiple times tried tempting offers for people to take leave packages to people with high tenure and even those who didn't trying to get both regular employees and especially union members out of any position within the company at varying levels and departments. Eventually after one new contract negotiation they worked behind all employees and in 2023 laid off a massive amount of their workforce and this was primarily to get rid of as many of the lowest seniority people. Disregarding multiple grievances. They also showed they were favoring poorly trained outsourced agents instead of those well trained and tenured agents who had been there from Verizon. They actively made sure not to hire core company agents when it came to hiring new agents - relying mainly on outsourcing to the lowest bidder and the worst quality of agent. I remember very often when I got a call from a customer who was so relieved when getting a core agent and loving the level of service received vs. one of the outsourced agents as their level of knowledge and troubleshooting skills were severely lacking to resolve customer issues. They cared only for numbers and not quality of service. The company did not care about the customer or service level excellence.

Pros

In 2016, Frontier Communications took over operations in Florida, inheriting a robust infrastructure that Verizon had built over a decade with significant advancements in fiber optic technology. Unfortunately, Frontier's management and operational approach appeared unable to sustain the high standards set by Verizon. What had been a state-of-the-art network rapidly declined within a year under Frontier's stewardship. Service disruptions became frequent, customer support often fell short of expectations, and the overall reliability of the fiber-optic network suffered. These issues highlighted a lack of strategic planning and investment in maintaining and improving the infrastructure. For customers who had come to rely on the reliability and innovation of Verizon's network, the transition to Frontier was disappointing. Many were left frustrated by the decline in service quality and the apparent mismanagement of a once-advanced fiber-optic system.

Cons

IThe company lacks innovation and is significantly behind in adopting modern technology, which hinders both growth and competitiveness. Employee treatment was poor, with little regard for work-life balance or professional development. Management lacked clear direction, leading to disorganization and a lack of strategic vision. Overall, the work environment was unmotivating and frustrating for employees seeking growth and leadership support.
