Pros

Most people working there are nice. Good benefits.

Cons

Anything customer facing is a sales job. They don't tell you this during the hiring process. There is computer that listens to every call to make sure you are trying to sell every line of business Comcast has. It also listens to make sure you are using key words like love, like, favorite when it comes to the products. If you don't the computer drops your scores, which in turn drops your pay. If you lose a line of business or lower someones bill, your pay drops. There are daily meetings to ensure you will know how to sell more products, even to people who can't afford it. And you will have bi-weekly coaching to go over your numbers and advise you how to improve. And if you were wondering how you stack up to your fellow co-workers, no need to worry because the supervisors will post the whole teams personal score numbers in the chat. You are stuck at your position with no chance to move up for at least one year. After that time and if your sales numbers stay at a certain level for 3 months, then you can apply for a different position at the company. You are given X amount of vacation, flex, and float days, but don't use them on anything other emergencies. Once you run out no matter the situation, you will be fired for taking time off. It's company policy.

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.
