Pros

Good pay and decent benefits. If you have high technology skills and can get in the right place you may do OK.

Cons

Starting about three years ago when we were still Qwest....management hasn't seemed to care about the workers at all. It's only gotten worse since CenturyLink took over. Endless hours day and night, lack of equipment to do the job, and little work/life balance. Micromanagement like you wouldn't believe.

Pros

Good pay, great benefits, great people to work with, boss is great, etc.

Cons

Company is undergoing transformation, so it's a bit chaotic. Have to work with old stuff and new stuff at the same time. Hopefully that will change as we transform further.
