Pros

The co workers who are on your level are a blast and it is nice being in the telcom space learning new things

Cons

This program is a mess. The training for the Account manager position is lead by those who have never sold for CenturyLink. MICROMANAGED!!!!! Always threatened to be fired... They fired one guy in our program who was #1 (Easily the best) but said "he wasn't the right fit". If your a fan of the circus take this job......

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
