Pros

A lot of great individuals and talent.

Cons

Culture is horrible and they don't pay commissions correctly. Unfair pay practices across the board, they try to cover it up. It's sad seeing so many team members struggling with their mental health, because of the company and leadership. Outdated systems and process, almost impossible to get anything done. Middle leadership is sketchy in their actions, which upper leadership is blind to.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Unfortunately, at times, restructuring, reorganizations, or realignment to business realities is needed to drive our continued transformation and company growth. These decisions are difficult and not something we take lightly. Lumen understands the impacts these events have on our employees and provides support and guidance through the challenging transitions. Lumen is taking a proactive approach to pay equity and regularly conducts market reviews to ensure Lumen's pay is market competitive, positioning us at the forefront of compensation best practices.
