Pros

Launching a superior fiber product in communities with limited or inferior internet options. Empowered to drive my business unit in a fast paced startup environment where it is encourage to test and learn, fail fast and try again.

Cons

As typical in the first year of a startup, a lot of focus has to be put on building the foundation before you are able to fulling launch innovative marketing plans. This is a short term challenge though.

Pros

Depending on what area you work you generally get left alone throughout the day

Cons

Staffing is way below what it should be. Most lumen now Brightspeed areas around me have been running skeleton crews for years and the plant suffers because of it

Pros

Remote work opportunity is the only pro.

Cons

I’ve never experienced such a lack of professionalism in my entire life. Over half the training class quit, and that should’ve been my sign then but I stayed several months anyway. We’re constantly cursed out by customers and told how they have much better service from other internet providers, and many of us hear this OFTEN. Their systems bug multiple times throughout the day, conflicting information from leadership happens multiple times throughout the day every day, and the speeds are actually extremely slow. Most customers whose accounts I’ve accessed are under 60M. It’s 2023, be for real. The minimum wage for the work that they expect is laughable, especially because the same quality of work is not consistent across departments. The customers can tell that many agents don’t know what they’re talking about and express this often. Brightspeed needs to get it together faster than they claim they are or it won’t last long, as several customers have told me..

We will continue to work hard to improve every day for our customers and wish you the best in your next career opportunity.
