Pros

Very good work-life balance compared to other companies in this industry. Firm policy of only hiring the right people, and as a result we have a lot of very nice, smart, and experienced employees and no-one intolerable or scary.

Cons

Technology, media and entertainment are all high stress industries and we sit at their intersection. It's exciting and fun but it can get stressful. We also are often in situations where what worked before won't work now, so we have to keep on our toes and not be afraid to try something new. Our products are complicated so expect a long ramp-up.

Pros

Comcast offers friendly and supportive management, appropriate training to perform job duties, and opportunities for advancement. Schedules start every 15 minutes and are set every 6 months with opportunity to change by bidding for shifts created for new hires. Opportunities for commissions through sales. No scripting of calls. The facilities are nice . The performance metrics are clear, reasonable, and attainable. People are usually happy after their issues resolved.

Cons

Schedules can include nights and weekends based on seniority. Job becomes excessively easy after a short period. The job primarily role is to get peoples services working though basic troubleshooting which becomes very repetitive.

Pros

The benefits are super: free cable, 6% matching 401K, ESPP, health and dental excellent for the area, tuition assistance, paid time off is above average, and more. If you have the right management, job support is excellent, hours are flexible, and you can't beat it.

Cons

Getting into a group of good managers is more often than not impossible. Most managers-to-directors are weak and follow the company ask instead of supporting their subject matter experts. There is no clear understanding on what it takes to advance, and as with most places, hard work is not rewarded. The HR is weak and can make it awkward when it comes to moving to another position. Projects are regularly supported by the same people and priorities are re-ordered hourly (in my opinion).
