Pros

- Job position is a union position - The team and supervisors are nice - The position is work from home (only after being forced to make it work from home because it would have otherwise been a serious health risk for no reason other than "we have always been in office")

Cons

- There is no hiring for this or most other union positions which makes it pretty awful beingleast senior - Set working hours that are based on seniority and a large majority of the shifts being closing, weekends and likely working all holidays - Supervisors are paid to quite literally do nothing. They don't know the job, don't have a firm grasp on policies or processes, and don't know how to help you with any situation directly relating to the job. - CEO and company vision seem to be build out fiber Network everywhere they can which results is all positions paying far below market average

Ziply Fiber Response

I appreciate your feedback. Ziply took ownership of the pacific northwest region 18-months ago and focused on creating a new culture where everyone feels valued and respected. We continue to fill vacancies and add more union and non-union roles while expanding the fiber network. Your experience does not represent the Ziply culture that we aspire to create. I am available to talk off line in person if you would like to discuss further.

Pros

Union negotiated healthcare. Union negotiated pension plan (if you were lucky enough to be part of before it was gotten rid of). Hands off approach from supervisors if you get your work done. Fiber product is great.

Cons

Clueless management as to human decency. If you are a union employee the company looks at you as over paid and a scourge. They basically said so in negotiations. But these are the guys and gals who actually know what the heck they are doing to keep the systems up and running. No investment in the decaying infrastructure in regards to buildings and grounds. Outwardly the company LOOKs like it is doing the right thing but back end is sorely lacking.
