Pros

Lots of PTO, free park tickets

Cons

When I started at comcast 5 years ago, the hourly rate was at $12, 5 years later it's still at $12 and the job has way more rules, a lot more work, and a lot more stress on top of dealing with inflation. Turn over rate is as high as its ever been, company culture is horrible, it's an us vs them kind of environment, they treat you just like a number, majority of the people that work there aren't happy, your schedule changes EVERY single year so new team, new manger, new supervisor and its based on performance, they change commission/goals structure every month and they make it higher and higher, on top of raising fee's on there customer's every year, they literally doubled them during covid times which made it even harder to sell, top reps when i first started out made 5/6k a month now top reps are barely making 3k. Ever since Covid hit this job did a complete 360, they changed health insurance which sucks, they took away so many good benefits from us, they capped managers salaries and ever since working from home it was extremely hard to get help from anyone cause they were upset as well. Also this job is EXTREMLY high stress, calls are inbound but trust me most of them aren't sales calls, you'll go weeks without any good calls. Word of advice from someone who's been there for 5 years, this job used to be the job you REALLY wanted but not anymore, there's way better options out there that will TREAT you fairly and pay you allot more, don't waste your time, and fyi majority of these 5 star reviews are fake I promise you.

Pros

Working at Comcast has given me the opportunity to develop myself; take the time to grow and learn, and that was really important to me during the time in my life when I joined the company. If you have the drive and ambition, there are a ton of ways in which you can grow into a leader if that's what you want to be. I took advantage of the continued education benefit and am finishing my masters degree now... I also joined a couple of the employee resource groups which offer seminars and networking events that support your professional profile. Listen, I'm not a total nerd. The point of my post is that this isn't a company you join and just stay stale within. They encourage your growth, but it's up to you to make it happen. Not only this - it's pretty exciting. We're busy and we have big jobs to do. My salary is in the top percentile for my industry but not only this, I again get the continued education (which is ~$6K/year) plus free cable/internet, top health care benefits and a truly balanced lifestyle - which is rarely the case within the Tech industry.

Cons

Telling people you work at Comcast triggers 2 typical responses: 1) A big hatred rant on customer service 2) A how do I get my foot in the door? The reputation of the company is difficult, but the style of the company is to stay humble - I've never seen the company defend themselves against the harmful and discrediting news that exists. I personally think they should defend themselves a little more - they are between a rock and a hard place in many instances of service. I personally experienced visiting someone's home where the issues they were having with their connection was due to a tree root growing into the cable lines which had been their for over 20 years. Things like that cannot be diagnosed over a phone call. It's hard work in the field for sure. Being a part of the corporate side sometimes we're too disconnected from what's happening on the frontline. So I think the size of the organization comes with its complications, but again if you're a working professional looking for an exciting, robust and sexy career, you can comfortably have it here.
