Pros

I worked there for 10 years, pay was great! Flexibility for working hours was good.

Cons

They became too big and didnt care about the core of the company their workers. Upper managment placed moving sales targets on their employees that made it impossible to be successful after the Qwest merger. The company didnt care about tenured employee's that were loyal to the company. This company used to be one of the best companies to work for however things have changed and I would never go back to that company.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
