Pros

Comcast gives its employees free cable and internet and the phone service for a small fee. That is definitely a plus because those are three bills you don't have to worry about paying. Also another thing I liked at Comcast was the paid vacation days you accumulated. It was a very reasonable amount of days I didn't complain about.

Cons

The biggest downside I found working at Comcast was their scheduling process. The people that had been there the longest got first pick on the good schedules. That was totally understandable but when it was time for the newer employees to pick, we got stuck working late evenings and weekends. There has to be a better way to do the scheduling. No one wants to get stuck working late evenings and every weekend especially when you have children or things to do. Another thing I disliked while at Comcast was too many productivity levels and quotas to meet. I understand there has to be some sort of quality assurance but it seemed a little extreme to me. For example there were already specific numbers set in place as fas as how long you should stay on the phone with a customer for a billing issue, how long your hold time should be, and your sales upgrade rate. Every customer's situation is different and there should not be specific numbers to go by. Who knows how long it will take you to take care of that customer and you shouldn't have to worry about specific numbers to abide by.

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.
