Pros

Good benefits Dental and Vision thought the Medica was too high costly, 401K matching 3% the company I’m with now matched 6% dollar for dollar, flextime is good.

Cons

Horrible to their employees, they tell you your goal is to sell like this is a sales jobs but it’s more customer service, the service is horrible, the majority of the calls that come through are customer complaints, billing, technical issues, techs no show for appts of new install and technical repair. When customers call in complaining about bad service and ask for adjustments and if we refuse they Esc to mananagement leads don’t want to take calls when customers escalate to a Sup telling us to give adj and we recently had a meeting on adjustments and how much over the amount has been given therefore causing the company to lose so much money in the millions but we are punished for it because I’ve been with the company well over a year and never got a raise!

Pros

Network services isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The need to automate and modernize legacy telco services and processes for customers is a huge opportunity.

Cons

Currently lots of unknowns and budge cuts, including people, with level3 taking over. Despite being in the same industry the execution and management models for both sides are distinctly different thus adding to the integration friction.

Pros

Opportunity to work with some good people in your direct organization. Decent benefits

Cons

Lack of communication among different organizations is mind blowing for a company this size. The company continues to fall deeper and deeper in debt with no clear direction from top level management on how to "right the ship". The company is extremely reactive, at best.
