Good company, but could be a GREAT company. "Aggressive yet disciplined" is almost like standing still.

Pros
I was born and raised in Monroe, LA. I have a lot of my family and friends in and around this area. This is home. It is awesome to work for a large successful company headquartered in my own backyard. This is a company with small town roots that, for the most part, has not forgotten where it came from. CenturyTel has its Unifying Principles (fairness, honesty and integrity, commitment to excellence, positive attitude, respect, faith, and perseverance) and I am in daily contact with CenturyTel folks who try to live by these principles. That is refreshing in this day and time.
Cons
Lack of vision. An "old boy" network that allows underqualified people, men and women, to matain positions that they do not have the skill set for.
