Terrible Senior Management

Recommend

Pros

Once you are 5 years in, you accrue vacation faster. Frontline and mid-level employees are great to work with.

Cons

The current senior management that migrated the headquarters to Stamford CT are terribly top heavy. I have never seen so many VPs and SVPs and that feel they are above actual work. Instead of looking at the work previous management has done to progress the company, they utilize the PDOOMA method for everything. Every decision is manic and executed without ANY data to support it's success. When the decision fails to fruit any result, they like to blame others for not executing it correctly even tho those in those roles expressed serious concern from the onset. The have eroded a team building environment that once progressed the company to a toxic individualized one that pits teams that once worked together against each other for reasons that are beyond me. This set of senior management that were imported from another Northeast cable company to cash in like bandits on stock options are ruining a once great place to work. Training is non existent, the health insurance they offer is the biggest waste of money I have ever seen. Regardless of the "stock price and performance" which seems just to pad the pockets of imported senior staff, the place is a house of cards.

Micro management.

Pros

Free cable, ability to make decent money.

Cons

6 day a week job regardless of what they tell you. goals are unrealistic, two day reminder that everyone is not hitting goal. Waste of time conference call. Restricted territory not conducive to thriving in a sales role. Poor control over sales process, not respected enough to have access to manage your own orders.

Pros

I worked with a great group of people for awhile, and then the team was torn apart.

Cons

Dishonest compensation practices, sexual harassment issues sometimes not addressed, no opportunities for advancement-HR reps will go out of their way to tell you that you will not go any further than you currently are! Excessive OT given to company, without compensation. Senior Leadership does NOT listen to middle management.
