Pros

Exposure to technology. Relevant technology that relates to many other areas that are important to IT. Broad portfolio of technology services to discuss with prospects.

Cons

Sales culture is not good. You are essentially a piece of meat and not valued. You will spend more time on navigating internal systems than you will on actual sales activity. Although technology portfolio is broad, most sales will be network and voice only. CenturyLink has a poor reputation amount IT and they choose CenturyLink reluctantly, based on price. Much pain is inflicted on every install and you will spend quite a bit of time on the fall-out of poor installations. No one will refer you business because nearly 100% of installs are poor. I am not exaggerating.

Pros

Still have a paycheck. They still have some customers however COX is getting most of them back residential and business. A few good Supervisors and Field Techs are still there.

Cons

Poor management within residential and business operations. Reason they let most of their seasoned customer service professionals go during a the merger with Level 3. OUCH! Some walked out the door without notice same day. Most of the employees still there say it's worse than ever before. Promoting current Field Techs into OPS management that have no business managing people because they could never manage their own workload and or provide customer service just arguing with their previous supervisor / manager Im going home you can't force me to work, no one is forcing you just need finish the task your currently working so the customer has service today, I feel sick Im going home Union Field Tech. Accountability for managers that do not meet their goals a complete joke within business operations just ask a few of their business customers getting slimmer by the day. The business sales team can never be trusted Lucky Dragon was a perfect example total sales masterminds that are incompetent and hostile. Even when you try to save them from themselves daily. Unifying Principles are a total joke in NEVADA, I cannot speak to other states.
