Pros

If you really don't have any goals and just want the type of job where you can show up do your work and leave. Company is laid back and easy going. Employees are friendly. The people make the company.

Cons

Poor compensation. Comcast has literally no upward mobility for it employees. No assistance in career development. No communication about internal products, and benefits. Uneducated managers who know little about programs. Poor training. Unfair work loads.

Pros

Strong competitive marketplace keeps new ideas/innovations fresh and up to date. Plenty of online educational resources, a superbly detailed internal communications website and constant updates on company initiatives and progress made. A solid benefits package coupled with plenty of perks including severly discounted cost for cable, phone and internet service.

Cons

When internal postings are listed the volume of applicants is staggering, making it nearly impossible to secure a transfer unless you have an inside connection in that particular office or department. One other item of concern is the volume and pace in which new products are rolled out in an effort to stay ahead of the competition and meet the customers demands. So much is rolled out so quickly that is very challenging staying on top of what is new vs. what is being phased out.

Pros

At Comcast there are a few benefits which making work there bearable. For example, employees receive free cable, good benefits, mgmt flexible regarding work schedule. In my particular position, the members of my group were on call and were permitted flexible work hours during the time we were on call. Obviously, free cable is a plus but it seems like mgmt uses that as a reason to provide low pay..."but you get free cable!!!". All in all, there are more negatives that outweigh the benefits of working at Comcast. I did have a few supervisors who did get it but they were vastly outnumbered.

Cons

poor pay, poor leadership by most, not all
