Vantaggi

Free cable. Good insurance

Svantaggi

They told me I would be working in the “upgrade department” only to tell me at the end of training that the upgrade department and loyalty departments would be merged into one. From that point, all the sales calls went away and we received nothing but calls from customers wanting a new deal on existing service. To make matters worse, we were told not to give these customers new deals in their service unless they added a service. Therefore, on top of getting yelled at by management about dwindling sales in our new department , we also got yelled at almost every call by irate customers who could no longer call to get their promotions extended. Our “training” for this new department consisted of one one-hour meeting of about 100 sales reps. As you can imagine, very little of what we were actually going to be doing was conveyed. The new department started in December when all of management was out on holiday vacation, so for the first month, we had no support from anyone in management. Poor execution. All of this created a hostile working environment in which you got chewed out on a daily basis by management and customers alike. Comcast should be ashamed of themselves for how this call center is ran.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
