Pros
You won't be laid off or fired without a serious amount of paper work first. Fairly stable industry. Large installed base of customers which offers some stability Good medical/dental PTO is comparable to elsewhere. Mostly good work life balance. As long as you are doing an average job you can come and go as you please.
Cons
- Corporate goals are not clearly communicated and seem to change to fit the situation during bonus time. (Conveniently we didn't meet our "aggressive revenue and EBITDA" targets... these goals were never communicated so how do we know?) - Senior execs have not realized that the company is sliding into being a utility. - Seems like they think that offering cable services is still sexy and worth a premium. (hint.. it's not) - CEO goals are not achievable with the current culture. I agree with the goals to implement new technology, but the method and timing reveal a lack of understanding of the morale of the workforce. - Mid-level management is rife with incompetence, retaliation, bitterness, politics, and greed. SVPs seem to think their job is to play personal politics and create silos - WFH policy is inconsistently applied and since there is no holding managers accountable to managing well the policy seems to punish the individual contributor because managers don't hold their own teams accountable. - Many groups have leaders (Director, SrDirector, VP, GVP, SVP) who regularly use retaliation and intimidation to shift blame for their own incompetence and bad decisions. - Spectrum is NOT a pay for performance company. It's not worth it to expend extra effort to stand out. Everyone will get the same (very low) raise each year (regardless of impact and performance to goals). In other words, the people who clock in at 9 and leave a 2 will get the same increase as someone who works 7 to 7 and produces 100x more.
