      Can be good company to work for

      Pros

      Compensation seems fair for the most part. The benefits are competitive and there are really nice programs and incentives to help manage your overall health Most of the managers I've worked with have been very good. Company is quick to implement changes where needed needed.

      Cons

      There have been a number of employee reductions and the expectation is doing more with less people, in some cases unreasonably so. Limited opportunity for advancement in the company to higher levels. Not as much focus on automation as needed, instead rely too heavily on manual work. Significant changes in direction occur frequently and you need to be willing/able to adapt.

      Not a great place to work

      Pros

      If you are connected with the right people you will have a job for life, and may not have to work very hard at all.

      Cons

      Decision-making takes forever. Several 'good ole boy' networks exist with the company(s). As CTL is a mix of CenturyTel (Monroe), Embarq (Kansas City) and Qwest (Denver), there is a lot of internal bickering and back-biting at the top. Despite being based in Monroe, Denver seems to have the upper hand.

      Pros

      Good variety of Products and Services. Much promise if they get it together.

      Cons

      Management is clueless. Reorgs and Layoffs happen every 6 mos. Getting paid commission is a nightmare. Get ready for abuse if you work at CTL.
