Spectrum reviews

Office culture is pretty uptight as in pretty militant business casual, an absolute 8-5 schedule with an hour for lunch and they actually throw people out of the office not long after 5 if anyone is still there. Frankly it’s very odd. Managers in my area were so uptight and micromanaging one manager told an employee his shoes weren’t good enough because they had a stripe on them and they were fairly pricey Top Siders not some worn out sneaks. Another employee had a small box in the cabinet above his cube with some snacks in it but the box was for some random alcoholic beverage and a manager actually had that box removed because why? Who would actually see it or be offended? I am still not sure who my actual supervisor was because they were hiring so many people and it was only semi-organized. More specifically about the CAD Designer jobs... Spectrum/Charter is hiring a whole bunch of people for this job title basically sight unseen and based on 15-20 minute phone interviews without much detail on the job so let me help. There are also a bunch of staffing companies looking for people for "GIS Network Designer" or "CAD Designer" jobs at Spectrum but don't be fooled because there is no GIS involved. The job is hardcore Microstation and RF design so if you don't have at least a little background in CAD or RF you're already behind the curve and it's a mighty steep curve. If you’re lucky you’ll get a few weeks in the office before you get thrown into 2 weeks of heavy duty training classes for Microstaion ED-COMM but if you’re not lucky and have only been in the office for a short time before the classes your tenure at Spectrum may also be really short. What they don't tell you is your job is contingent on passing a test after being thrown into to the 2 weeks of training which is why you need to have at least some background in ustation or RF design otherwise you won't make it. Do yourself a favor and don’t go for the money if you talk with a recruiter about this job. If you don’t have some background in CAD or RF you should keep looking and spare yourself the hassle of being micromanaged and have your time wasted like I did.

Inconsistent policies, Inconsistent pay, terrible morale throughout the company. Sales department consistently getting tech support and billing calls instead of sales call. Departments do not communicate well with each other leading to a convoluted system of resolving issues to the point that most issues never get resolved and the customer is lost to a competitor.
