Pros

CHARTER COMM. IS A PRETTY NICE PLACE TO WORK. THE HAVE GREAT BENEFITS AND GREAT COMPENSATION. THEY ALSO SPEND A GREAT AMOUNT OF MONEY ON EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION AND REWARDS FOR MEETING STANDARDS. THEY WERE EVIROMENTALLY FRIENDLY WHEN IT CAME TO RECYCLING AND A PAPERLESS COMPANY. THEY ALSO HAVE SOME GREAT AMMENITIES IN THERE OFFICES (SLEEP ROOM AND A DAY CARE).

Cons

SOME OF THE DOWNSIDES AT CHARTER WERE THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE BY SOME OF THERE UPPER MANAGMENT. ALSO IN 2006 THEY CLOSED 7 OUT OF THE 11 U.S. CALL CENTERS TO OUTSOURCE IN ASIA AND MEXICO. THEY ALSO HAVE SOME BAD FINANCIAL OFFICERS THAT HAVE TAKEN THE COMPANY IN TO A SEVERE DEFICIT.

Pros

Large Company, dress code is not too strict. Many people are professional and the environment is very nice and updated in the headquarters. Many people are pleasant. Senior management professionals are very good at what they do.

Cons

Politics...way too much of it. Much like what Charter does for its customers, it does for its employees. They promise you the world, and then drop the ball on delivery. There are a tremendous amount of contractors and the place is kind of like a revolving door. It is very difficult to rely on any individuals for support, or as a resource as they may not be there the next week, very frustrating. On top of that, the mid level managers (who do stay) are always stuck on their stake or voice in any project and can't get past their own thoughts and opinions to see other people's point of view. This is not all of the managers, but defintiely quite a few of them.
