      Good place to work but could be better - Anonymous employee Lumen Employee Review

      Pros

      - Fortune 500 company, 3rd Largest Telecommunications Company in the United States - Senior Leadership has positioned the company for future growth through acquistions

      Cons

      - Benefits have risen considerably over past couple of years - Pay seems to be below industry standard - Most jobs are being transported down the HQ in Monroe, LA. This place is not a good location, facility is nice but the CTL HQ is the ONLY thing going for the area. - Current promotions are now capped. If you are in a job making 50k a year and get a Director level job they are not paying director level money instead only giving a 10% increase overall

      Pros

      Good pay, great benefits, great people to work with, boss is great, etc.

      Cons

      Company is undergoing transformation, so it's a bit chaotic. Have to work with old stuff and new stuff at the same time. Hopefully that will change as we transform further.
