Pros

-Excellently formatted forward progression(raise percentages changed regularly every year), nationally certified & counts towards college credits. -Take your Van home -Valuable networking opportunities -Relatively fair yearly bonuses in the form of a raise.

Cons

-Poor Communication(Ironic for a telecom company). Dissemination of information happens perhaps 10% of the time. Departmental management is not on the same page, and are prone to make changes to operating procedures w/out notifying adjacent, relevant departments. -Employee appreciation does not feel genuine. Not a large concern for someone w/ their priorities looking to future progression; but for those looking to work a stagnant job, w/ no desire to promote or leave, you must either have extraordinary resilience or accept the misery. -Very little consideration for personal safety; COVID policies were abysmal, you are expected to accomplish the job in a timely manner(regardless of environmental factors/hazards), you WILL drive on frozen/dangerous roads. -Technicians are micro-managed to the "t", but middle and senior management tend to have "cliques", play favorites, have dirty/unauthorized office/vehicle conditions, and generally pick-and-choose w/e rules and regulations they are allowed to ignore for themselves.
