Pros

Frontier provides me with flexible hours, makes it possible to have a life outside of work, challenges me with creative projects, gives me room to grow professionally and technically, and is full of really good people to work with. Plus, we have a 100% US-based work force. This is fantastic! I've had opportunities here I would never have had at other companies.

Cons

The only "con" is the industry itself. Telecommunications these days is a tough, competitive biz.

Pros

In rural America a job at Frontier can be a good paying "job for life".

Cons

This is an old industry with many challenges in 2014 and beyond. Frontier was about 5,000 employees in 2010 and grew to almost 15,000 as a result of their Verizon acquisitions. The Former Verizon employees were used to higher pay, richer benefits etc. because they worked for a company that subsidized the money-losing old phone company they worked for with a hugely profitable wireless operation. When they got acquired by an old fashioned phone company, reality set in. And for them (now 2/3 of the company) reality bites! Verizon wanted no part of them and were glad to sell them off. Many took pay cuts and had to pay for their healthcare benefits (like 99% of America!). Frontier (reality) rocked their worlds. So I'm not surprised by the negative comments.
