Pros

The benefits were among some of the best things about working at Charter. 401k match, dental, vision, and medical were all very good. I started at 13.18 an hour and recieved a raise of 39 cents after my first year. It is 40 hours a week but you won't know what schedule you get until after you finish your training though.

Cons

Upper management constantly changes. They expect you to adapt to new policy without them explaining the policies to you much if at all. Constant changing of rules and procedures was very taxing mentally as you have to remember A LOT of stuff in this position. The customers. Yes we work with people unsatisfied with paying us money due to non working service, rise in cost, and various other reasons but what makes this bad is that there is no time in between calls at all sometimes. There is a lot of back to back calls where you can't catch a breath. To anyone considering this position you should practice talking for 8 hours a day without stopping. For the first several weeks your throat will be sore. Use cough drops as needed.

Pros

Great company. Lots of perks including vacation, floating holidays. Fun management that works to build employees. Glad I work here.

Cons

There are too many contractors. Even though there is pending merger and acquisition activity they need to bring more resources in house. .

Pros

(IT Specific) diverse systems, mature life cycle, lots of opportunities for motivated people willing to sacrifice work/life balance.

Cons

Poor work/life balance in many groups. Main IT office next to a landfill. No opportunities for advancement without substantial personal sacrifice (extreme hours). Minimal recognition.
