Pros

Absolutely no pros for working there.

Cons

Suddenlink will promise a billing account list but none are billing and they've burned all potential relationships. Salespeople in the Charleston area beware.

Pros

Great Perks! Insurance, and a paycheck!

Cons

Leadership communication and leadership compassion is vastly lacking. The company "community" is entirely for show, they don't actually have any concern for anyone "below" them.
