Pros

Benefits Complimentary services. Good employees. Vehicles provided for field workers

Cons

No way to check ZERO on the rating above. Complimentary services soon to be taken away from some employees when they are moved - this is public knowledge- over to the new company Altice Tech US and basically become contractors for Altice US. However they plan to compensate the employees for the cost of the services, and if they do this then it won't be so bad. Their excuse is Altice Tech are not Altice US employees and must be treated like contractors. Know this much if you are interested in working here. Management does not care about you. They don't, but if they do pretend to be interested they are not. At all times you will be a number on the books and a tool for the machine and if you fail to provide the value they want you will be gone in a heartbeat. Seniority doesn't matter unless you are one of the old ones, then you will probably be introduced to the layoff package they float around the office. They have no place for people of age and lay-offs are common right now. Expect to take your turn cleaning the office and bathrooms. They don't have a service for that right now. Do not expect to be asked for your input. You serve the machine only. Decisions are made at the top and sent down without warning and the only acceptable response will be your compliance. Do not trust HR to have your back. HR is the legal machine that keeps Altice out of trouble. Expect to be given 20-35 minutes for work that requires 1-3 hours. Managers have untouchable egos. At least one in the regional office does and he doesn't mind telling everyone around him how great he is or how much you don't know. Jerry Kent is no longer the CEO. He did well but this score is for the new owners.
