Pros
The pay for a fiber tech is great. The CEO, Rhonda Cook, takes care of her employees in multiple ways. great benefits, bonuses, weekly yoga, monthly charity drives, the G.R.I.T program, and all kinds of extra programs for her employees. She also holds quarterly meetings to show you exactly what is going on in the company. All around excellent place to work if you work in the corporate office and are not in the field.
Cons
If you work as a field fiber optic splicer many of the things mentioned above (minus benefits and bonuses) are not open to you. There are constant fiber outages on their 99% aerial network which means you will spend most of your time at work. There is absolute no balance between work and home life for a field splicer and no move by upper management to ease the stress off their in house technicians. This includes buying new, quality, equipment and making time for proper training. The ongoing legal battle been PS Lightwave and the company they came from, Phonoscope, actively hinders restoration progress on cable outages because the constant worry of lawsuit.
