Pros

Some good people are still left.

Cons

The company is running on auto-pilot. Executives at the VP level and above are completely clueless. Everyone that knew what they were doing were fired. CenturyLink bought Qwest, then fired many employees to make room for the Saavis acquisition. Now you have a company with huge assets and nobody left that knows what they're doing. The good employees that were left over have now left this sinking ship to work at good companies. Closing positions across the US and then opening the same position in Monroe, LA. The atmosphere is one of complete chaos with salary cuts and layoffs on the horizon.

Pros

- Fortune 500 company, 3rd Largest Telecommunications Company in the United States - Senior Leadership has positioned the company for future growth through acquistions

Cons

- Benefits have risen considerably over past couple of years - Pay seems to be below industry standard - Most jobs are being transported down the HQ in Monroe, LA. This place is not a good location, facility is nice but the CTL HQ is the ONLY thing going for the area. - Current promotions are now capped. If you are in a job making 50k a year and get a Director level job they are not paying director level money instead only giving a 10% increase overall
