Pros

Was a great place to work. Now Comcast is trying to fix their poor reputation by forcing all front line employees to take the brunt of punishment by customer who are still frustrated and hate Comcast marketing and pricing plans. This place needs a union as management abuses employees. CWA 7704 represents this industry. Comcasters need to unite.

Cons

Comcast collection Sandy and I also worked at the retail store. Employees are now powerless to defend themselves against abuse. Foul language, name calling etc. Customers have learned that this is the new policy and will "punish" the front line reps who do not make the decisions the customer is upset over. If you want to be called nasty names that can't even be listed here, join Comcast. And management will not support you. Supervisors refuse to take customer calls because they don't want the abuse either. 20% of employees are on some form of FMLA to avoid going to work. Most employees on the floor fear for their jobs on a daily basis. If you are coming up on 5 years to have 3 weeks vacation you won't make it. They will find some reason to terminate your employment. Comcast systems will have issues that cut into your commissions. If you bring it up your blackballed. But it takes away form your pay. Managers and supervisors are obviously on a different compensation program as their goals are in direct conflict to what gets you paid. Stay away from here. Ask what happened to all the veteran agents. We are all gone.

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.
