Pros

Free cable services to all employees

Cons

You work more hours than you get paid for. Be prepared to work in the extreme heat, rain, cold. If you don't make your quota of doors knocked and contacts you will work Saturday. Micro managing is normal there. Your work phone they provide has no privacy so be prepared.

Suddenlink You Suck

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing than giving you healthcare (if you need it) and free cable. Would not recommend Suddenlink to a blind 3 legged cat.

Cons

Terrible leadership on all levels! Terrible working hours! Forced OT! Treatment of VET's that they hire is terrible, even after they get a tax break for hiring them. Trainers could care less before placing someone on the phones as they know less than some of the phone techs on the floor. Maybe you will receive a yearly raise of 30 cents and hour more, if that much. Coaches do nothing to help techs on the floor. The tech next to you most likely is a felon, Suddenlink hires felons. Techs that steal get more praise then techs that do their job the right way. Their family first values are BS.
