Great work life balance, Lots of layoffs
1 Mar 2021 - Planner in Vancouver, WARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
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.

Good opportunity but poor upper management.

Cons
Poor communication from upper management, recent financial troubles at corporate level caused a chaotic restructuring. Shifting responsibilities with little support or documentation to assist training.
