Pros

Coworkers, lunch time, break time, and time to go home. Was once a great place to work, but Level3 has ruined any joy & pride there once was.

Cons

Incredibly inept leadership Non-existent teamwork Favoritism is rampant...the good old boy network runs deep. Pay raise is only for the chosen few...repeat favoritism. No direction or structure...the only constant. Resources are provided to the chosen few...so they can shine.

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.
