Pros

Competitive pay / Intelligent group of people to work with / Great partners within the tech space

Cons

No "Teamwork, Trust, and Transparency" which the company preaches. Do not forget this is a large publicly traded company. They answer to the shareholders and do not care about you as a "cog" in the wheel. My most successful quarter in sales of my entire career was the quarter I was laid off (wave 4 of 5 - 6000+ total layoffs in the span of 6 months).

Pros

It is a job and some people there are nice.

Cons

CEO tries to implement a 'culture' change but really just bows to the board. Would be better if she was just honest about all the layoffs vs. trying to shove her celebrity crush Brene Brown down everyone's throats. Management still leads by fear tactics with middle management afraid to speak up. Lower end sales employees prodded to sacrifice their morals just to make a sale. Nobody really seems to care though, they will just bring in people from outside with promise of greener pastures ahead...

Unfortunately, at times, restructuring, reorganizations, or realignment to business realities is needed to drive our continued transformation and company growth. These decisions are difficult and not something we take lightly. Lumen understands the impacts these events have on our employees and provides support and guidance through the challenging transitions. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best as you continue on with your career.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Plenty of hours. Wish there was some sort of bonus program for top preformers.

Cons

Though the benefits keep going higher with every contract negotiation and the pay increase doesn’t offset it.
