Pros

Decent pay and benefits package for former Qwest employees. New hires not so much. Great base in large business, governmental communications contracts, top tier communications products and internet backbone,and all departments related to these efforts.

Cons

Losing more and more of the residential business while driving down benefits and wages to compensate which will gather less talented and dedicated workforce, thus accelerating the revolving door syndrome. Short sighted company with outdated hierarchical structure. Upper level management seems arrogant and aloof, while lacking creativity. I am not optimistic about the future of this company.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
