Pros

You can literally do anything that you want with your schedule. No one either genuinely knows or cares that you exist, and all the way up the chain your bosses will be doing the same thing: mailing it in and faking it until they make it. You could probably say you had a doctors appt every single day and no one would remember, or perhaps even ask if anything is wrong

Cons

If you have any talent at all, you will view Centurylink as a complete joke. It’s a great place to get a paycheck for doing the bare minimum, but if you have any ambition or any original thoughts in your head, this place is probably not right for you.

Pros

work life balance, excellent time off so long as manager doesn’t micromanage/track and limit FTO, nice people, leadership has turned the business around.

Cons

No pay raises even with great performance review (5years with zero raise) No career growth/progression - been on a high-performing team for 5 years and not one person on the team has been progressed or promoted during that time. Little opportunity for career advancement and growth New jobs within the company are going to external hires, not much grwoth for current employees
