Pros

GPON fiber to the home buildout in many major markets. Good pay.

Cons

Many good craft jobs have been eliminated and contracted out....Lineman, Construction Splicer, Facility Assigner, and I&R technicians. Unable to compete with CATV in many markets because of poor marketing, poor customer service, and unwillingness to maintain our network. Small budget to maintain copper facilities. GPON buildout done by contractors. Company doesn't give new technicians enough training before sending them out on their own. Employees are paying more of their healthcare premiums each year. For children+spouse health coverage next year I will be paying around $440/month out of pocket.

Pros

Lower level management were hardworking & dedicated.

Cons

Leadership is a sinking ship. Promote secretary to directors, thus lack of knowledge or skills. Pay and bonus was lowered every year while top leadership got big bonuses Appraisal system is a Bell Curve, no matter how good your people were
