Pros

The check never bounce and great pay and great benefits

Cons

You work either 12.5 hours days or 12.5 hours for the night shift. It doesn't even matter if you worked the last 5 years for Christmas and Thanksgiving if your shift falls on that holiday you are working. You cannot take PTO for holidays. That is rough when you got little kids at the house. Steel toe shoes , guess they are scared you going to drop a SM or MM fiber cable on your foot, lol.

Pros

Hybrid which is nice, for what the job entails pay is ok I suppose at 60k. Every Wednesday there's food for employees.

Cons

Earlier in the year the frisco office was closed down, so many employees including myself who add living arrangements now have to travel 3 days a week to the downtown office. Which is 45 minutes + with traffic. On top of that the shift times suck as someone who appreciates work life balance. 7 am to 7 pm. I would also say that there are many organizational changes and career growth seems limited.
