Pros

Benefit of free service (minus just the equipment fees). Being able to network with other employees that are in the same position.

Cons

Where to even start. Working in the call center where metrics are almost impossible to make. When you meet on one stat (say AHT - Average Handle Time of calls), then they tell you to work on another metric, which when you work on that, it totally messes with your other stats. Impossible to balance every metric against each other. Also the most recent push for sales, sales, sales. Everyone in my position was hired because of our technical skills and are supposed to be helping customer trouble shoot problems, but we are now being shoehorned into being sales people with the one metric, which keeps on climbing (People that just do billing get most of the upgrade calls, so we have no chance for the revenue positive calls to make our numbers). Plus, we get 8 straight hours of being yelled at on the phones by angry customers and I have personally had to fix problems that ere cause by the other groups - most notably the sales group as they seem to push getting the commission by getting customer installed by any means, even if it means an unhappy customer that we get the brunt of the complaints.

Pros

Working at Comcast has given me the opportunity to develop myself; take the time to grow and learn, and that was really important to me during the time in my life when I joined the company. If you have the drive and ambition, there are a ton of ways in which you can grow into a leader if that's what you want to be. I took advantage of the continued education benefit and am finishing my masters degree now... I also joined a couple of the employee resource groups which offer seminars and networking events that support your professional profile. Listen, I'm not a total nerd. The point of my post is that this isn't a company you join and just stay stale within. They encourage your growth, but it's up to you to make it happen. Not only this - it's pretty exciting. We're busy and we have big jobs to do. My salary is in the top percentile for my industry but not only this, I again get the continued education (which is ~$6K/year) plus free cable/internet, top health care benefits and a truly balanced lifestyle - which is rarely the case within the Tech industry.

Cons

Telling people you work at Comcast triggers 2 typical responses: 1) A big hatred rant on customer service 2) A how do I get my foot in the door? The reputation of the company is difficult, but the style of the company is to stay humble - I've never seen the company defend themselves against the harmful and discrediting news that exists. I personally think they should defend themselves a little more - they are between a rock and a hard place in many instances of service. I personally experienced visiting someone's home where the issues they were having with their connection was due to a tree root growing into the cable lines which had been their for over 20 years. Things like that cannot be diagnosed over a phone call. It's hard work in the field for sure. Being a part of the corporate side sometimes we're too disconnected from what's happening on the frontline. So I think the size of the organization comes with its complications, but again if you're a working professional looking for an exciting, robust and sexy career, you can comfortably have it here.
