Pros

Lots of advancement within my field, coworkers have great personality and are good at their job, great managers to keep you motivated, and the company actually cares about its employees. I really love how the company feels small even though you work with so many people and there are many more across the country - and the surprise appreciation moments are awesome!

Cons

Long employee tenure (I heard the average is 12 years) can be a bit overwhelming for newcomers - but there is a good mix between experienced employees and newbies coming together.

Pros

This is generally a good company to work for. Interesting work and you will gain valuable experience. Many decent, hard-working people. The company is closely held and this adds security against take-overs. The high level business strategy is crisp in a tough environment where the cable competitor is able to deliver higher broadband speeds at lower cost.

Cons

The Finance Business Analysis team was viewed by many as having a poorly managed, toxic environment beginning in 2013 - the team experienced an exodus of well over half of its experienced and respected staff over 2 years. In addition, there is a fair amount of in-fighting between business unit leaders. This may be impacted by competition for precious resources where budgets are extremely tight and scrutinized due to flat revenue growth.
