Pros

"It's a job" pretty well encapsulates what could be said about Frontier. They like to take free money (CAF funding) from the Government "all day long."

Cons

Unfortunately, Frontier was allowed to purchase wireline properties in 14 states from Verizon July 1, 2010 after 1 year of regulatory hearings. The resulting affects; a high-dividend depreciation harvesting business model, severly diminished Health and Welfare benefits, operational inefficiencies run-a-muck, lip service but no force of action behind their words, lack of investment in operational support systems and terrible processes.

Pros

There are personal growth/promotions that a person can work up to but it takes 7 to 10 years or more and the starting pay at entry level jobs is very low.

Cons

The company is eating away at the union, When we signed a new union contract a year or so ago the company cut pay and benefits. The company also eliminated all jobs in supply and building maintenance .The company then replaced the union workers with contractors.
