Unprofessional work environment

Pros

Flexible work schedule, Great holiday party. Benefits & Payroll group top notch. The waffles. tee shirts, Durham bulls games, hurricanes games.

Cons

Republic Wireless division: Extremely unprofessional work environment. F-bombs, offensive language in meetings. Team leads have access to salary information. No Holidays off. Poor internal communication. Zero access to training NO accountability at management level. Unclear work requirements. Minimizing of ideas then adapted months later by someone else. No heat or AC after 5:00 pm / weekends on most floors. Internal positions are handed out and don't go through the interview process. This is a very common practice.

Awesome and caring people, but very little opportunity within

Pros

Time off is great, with added time off for competing in company sponsored challenges, benefits are pretty good - 100% paid for even in this economy under the Obama plan, so that's definitely a bonus. Benefits can be a little odd though with the deductibles and the amounts you still pay out of pocket, but it's worth it. CEO is a wonderful man; kind and generous. Opens his heart, and knows you by name - for a company of over 300 people - that's impressive. Most of the people are also the same - good, well intentioned people who want to do well. For the most part, it's a great place to work and you'll meet some cool and innovative folks. Bandwidth has its challenges though, like any company does.

Cons

There are definitely some favoritism that goes on at Bandwidth. Internal communication is also a really big issue at Bandwidth. No one talks! While I do appreciate, and am grateful for my Bandwidth SWAG, I think my T-shirt collection has grown to be too huge. How about an end of year bonus instead?
