Windstream Employee Reviews about "work from home"

Pros

- Great work/life balance - Work from home - Management - Great Technology set-up

Cons

- There is a lot of work that is put on you - Team is reducing in numbers, therefore there is additional tasks that are put on you in order to deliver a good experience to customers.

Pros

The Work Life balance is great with how much PTO and optional holidays you get. I loved my supervisor and co-workers and got to work from home. They do offer a decent severance package and vacation payouts if you're laid off.

Cons

They have a lot of layoffs. I started with EarthLink and then Windstream bought them and about a year after the two companies merged, the stream of layoffs occurred. Usually every few months they would layoff hundreds of employees. I finally got my call after about 6 layoffs and I know within the roughly after 6 months they had another 3 layoffs as well. You've always gotta look over your shoulder and be prepared.

Pros

This company values their employees and customers. They put people first and work hard to encourage employees and provide the best service to their customers. Longstanding positive reputation, great benefits and rewards. Enable employees to work from home during the pandemic.

Cons

So far, I haven’t found any negative aspects to Windstream!

Pros

Work from home, plethora of cash to throw around after receiving multi-billion dollar federal grant to bring high speed internet access to underserved markets.

Cons

Employees are treated as numbers and not people. The HR staff serves the role of enforcement for Management. I've seen too many people take issues with their co-workers or Managers to HR only to be given walking papers in the following weeks. It's made obvious that you are not to create any waves and if you are the subject of any abuses, you'd better keep it to yourself if you'd like to remained employed. This seems to be a nationwide trend, though, and not isolated solely to Windstream. However, it's definitely a prevalent practice here at Windstream.

Pros

Good hours, work from home

Cons

Cold calling customers who don’t know you or why your calling

Pros

Flexibility, work from home and good people. I was able to learn a lot about what doesn't work.

Cons

Poor leadership lacks of vision and follow through. High turnover at all levels.
