Pros

I can't really speak for any other Comcast Markets, but the Nashville Market has seen a overall positive change since the newest GM took over. We are recognized consistently as being one of the top markets in the Southern Division. We have regular All-Employee meetings with the GM where he shares praise about the job we're doing, and news about what's coming down the line - and they make the meetings accessible to everyone, important when you have 1200 employees spread over a market that is several hundred square miles and many counties and communities.

Cons

Pay in the Cable Industry sucks. The issue is constantly brought up that we don't get paid enough, even my manager agrees that we aren't, but no one is willing to authorize a raise. The company doesn't seem to realize that free services aren't enough - those alone only add about $1,200 a year to our compensation package.

Pros

Comcast was an interesting place to work, as a developer it really tests your ability to balance latest technology with legacy systems. There are always a ton of jobs open, so if you wanted to move to a different area or job altogether you could. Transfer requests were handled (for the most part) with dignity and grace. Overall a good work experience if you don't mind working for a slow moving behemoth. Working at Comcast gives you an inside look on how a massive corporation functions at a high level, sadly more often than not the answer is that it doesn't function well at all.

Cons

The pay when i worked there was horrible, so bad in fact when i took a new job i was moving up ~75% in salary while maintaining the same job title. Raises were a capped % (5 i think was max for a top performer) which is insulting. Alot of the people are terribly inept at their job, and to help cover the fact they dont' know what they're doing; they tend to slow down every project that comes their way into cancellation. Comcast is an example of an old style company trying to make it in a new world.

Pros

comcast has a great culture of giving. Comcast Cares Day is performed once a year and allows everyone within the company to donate time and give back to the community at large. Probably the #1 reason for working at Comcast is the benefits. I don't mean the health insurance, but the free cable, internet and discounted voice service. Along with that, you get OnDemand movies and events at 50% off + discounts on cell service, computers, and other purchases. I know that Comcast is filled with a lot of dedicated, passionate great people and that is another reason it is Comcastic!!!

Cons

Some of the downsides of working for Comcast is what draws a lot of people to the company, their size. Comcast is a huge nationwide employeer with vast opportunities for growth and movement within the company. Because of that, a lot of people have been employed there for a long time and therefore, advancement opportunities don't come around as often as you might hope. Folks are so entrenched that a lot of time to get "promoted", you may have to go into a different department or role. If you can manage your time and work the system then you may have a shot at advancement.
