Pros

The compensation and benefits were good. There are also a lot of good people that work for the company. Opportunity to travel to interesting US locations.

Cons

Management won't step up to the plate and do the right thing to fix problems in the company. They are all too worried about protecting their bonuses and their turf to stir things up enough to make things right. The stress level is very high. Especially for middle management. The Human Resources department has been played up in the press to be one of the best in the industry. they were basically useless during my tenure. Issues with problem employees could not properly be resolved because HR would not step in and provide the assistance necessary to either reprimand or dismiss the problem employee.

Pros

I had a great experience and benefitted from great leadership, progressive growth opportunities, and exceptional colleagues. The company cares about its employees, and offers exceptional benefits.

Cons

The recent news of the merger (ok, let's be honest...acquisition) by Charter has many people worried about the future and preparing for the worst. There will undoubtedly be cultural changes and I know many people will be frustrated by the new norm.

Pros

Great work/life balance, culture and benefits. Work from home. Unlimited PTO.

Cons

Merging with Charter this year. If I still have a job after the merger, I'll be losing unlimited PTO, WFH, culture and who knows about work/life balance. Some may be asked to move to CT. At the end of 2024 the company offered a generous VSP. Knowing the upcoming severance packages we may be offered by Charter, some of us feel betrayed.
