Pros

There are some very knowledgeable people at LUMEN.

Cons

The expectation is that you will know multiple platforms at expert level without proper training. Line managers are over worked and pass that to their direct reports. Upper management is only focused on metrics and does a lot of lip service about customers but does not understand what is needed to actually service customers well. IVR to reach repair has been, and continues to be, nearly impossible for customers to navigate. Pay is low, raises are token, bonuses are minimal. Job satisfaction is at all-time low across many of the functions that are customer facing.

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.
