Pros

-Coworkers are occasionally talented and intelligent. -Good pay if you're in a union.

Cons

-Coworkers' talents are by and large wasted due to mismanagement. We have people with bachelor's degrees taking calls and doing glorified records keeping. -Company is actively attacking the remaining union centers and replacing them with lower payed employees in right-to-work states. -Middle and Upper management are mostly dysfunctional. Upper has no valuable input aside from "SELL SELL SELL" and Middle is authoritative and micromanaging. -Employees do not have a sense of purpose or making a difference. -Employees are not listened to by management. -Employees are not given opportunities to advance their careers. -Employees in call centers are subjected to favoritism and prejudice versus "VIP" staff. We regularly have staff come in to our center for weeks. They're given daily catered meals, parking in front, etc. We are reminded monthly to only park in back, and if we're lucky, we're given the scraps of what the VIPs had left over at the end of the day.

Good pay but dying business

Pros

I enjoy my job, make good money, and work with great people.

Cons

This is a dying business. The company doesn't seem to acknowledge the fact that they have no idea how to run a large company. Upper Management continues to reinforce that their Legacy models of business are proven to work and have failed to use the knowledge and assets that they aquired from the Verizon buyout.

Pros

People you work with on a daily basis

Cons

How do I begin? ... I'll comment on what I witnessed personally. Well, the billing and ordering systems were designed for residential customers, and not businesses with hundreds to thousands of lines. There is no automation and everything is manual. They may have worked prior to the VZ sale, but there are too many customers for that now. That will always be an issue ... There are no processes that aren't broken in terms of billing or ordering, which includes installation of new services. Investments in "new" technologies are limited to Metro E, which will flop because management will never understand putting processes together and working together interdepartmentally. The morale is so bad, that it's like every department for themselves ... If you look up on the internal directory you'll notice that you can bring up over 150 VPs for a company with less than 15K employees. Can you say top heavy? ... Oh, by the way, much like how Frontier fibs their numbers to Wall Street (and they aren't buying that crap anymore), they also fib the "100 percent American workforce".Contractors doing daily work are from overseas; it's not as if all the work is based in the U.S. ... This is all on top of having every perk from the VZ days taken away, and salaries lowered across the board while the CEO received a 700 percent raise ... Oh, oh, and fear-based upper management (be happy you have a job mentality) ... that's not all that's wrong, but that's what came off the top of my head.
