Pros

Not Free but Steeply discounted service,

Cons

Where do I begin. Once Altice took over, there have been cuts all over the place. On top of the cuts, Other Techs left in fear of their jobs and found employment else where. Instead of hiring new people, they over load the remaining techs with so much work, that they are basically forced to work OT every day. When we hand back work, we are chastised for it. To them it doesn’t matter if you have things to do, you are their slave. There is no room for progression, and the criteria to get the SCTE courses are next to impossible to meet.

Pros

Peers were kind, supportive, and friendly. Ok compensation.

Cons

Leadership was constantly changing and bringing in new employees to fix issues that wouldn't be fixed by them; the company's strategy wasn't on point. Slow promotions and career development/advancement.
