Pros
A paycheck while you look for a better job.
Cons
At a high-level, Centurylink is run as a holding-company that buys up smaller companies in order to increase the stock price. It isn't operated as a telecom, and the CEO's insane vision is to magically turn the entire company into a rebranded managed-services & consulting firm (ala IBM) called "Centurylink Technical Services" within 5 years. At the employee level, this is a toxic environment to work in. Brain drain: everyone with potential or self-respect has left, so that all that's left in the company are bitter, mean-spirited and cynical. Employee turnover is ridiculously high: there's always open positions at CenturyLink because people can't stand the place. No career growth; even if a position comes open, they'll hire from outside instead of promoting from within. My advice: avoid the place like the plague.
