Pros

Great employees Benefits Not all people are bad

Cons

Boss's that want to put you down Nothing to do No purpose in the work Depressing environment No credit given to good work My boss gave me nothing to do and anytime I did anything they would feel the need to either take credit away or minimize the effort. Now that I'm quitting it dawned to them that I did something. They wasted my time and effort away. I worked on many projects over the years but over time due to God knows what they kept passing opportunities away. My friends and I tested this by pumping the reviews so that way they were forced to read them. However to them they felt the need to put me down. I got an opportunity of a life time but it seems they are a bit jealous and felt the need to pretend that q bunch of people came up to them saying something but he said not for them to come to me. How stupid do they think I am? If you work here avoid Connect at all cost. Just avoid Comcast . They do not care about anyone but profit and it shows. In fact so many of my friends quit for the same reason but they didn't feel safe to tell anyone that this is what happens. They are scared of retaliation so it's going to stay bad forever. Someone is going to probably bring this up and they will have something to say like murmurmur I'm a great leader. They only put people up that lick their boots. If you are into that then this job is for you.

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.
