Pros – great pay, benefits, vacation, freedom in my work schedule to make my own decisions. First level management seems to "get it" most of the time.
Cons – work in all kinds of weather and customer premises (don't watch Hoarders!) Sr Management is non-existant or so out of touch with reality it sometimes hard to believe
Advice to Senior Management – Do the job before you judge

Pros – They have great ambitions and outlok
Cons – THey have a very difficult time exicuting well. When escalated and if you are important engough to them you will get your problems resolved but it take a lot of intermal management buy in towonder if this is a career ending escalation when they need to go higher. This causes problems to take way too long to resolve. Executive Managment is not respected but rather feared making them not as approcahable as they maybe should be.
Advice to Senior Management – Learn that problems are solved by team work and co operation not blame. Enocourage people and support them to make aproiate decisons to satisfy customers and majke the escalation path claer and easy. Most times it is our issue denying it becuse you cannot find it mean you need more help.

Pros – I've worked for USWest/Qwest/CenturyLink for over 10 years. I enjoy my job. Just enough technical challenge and variety. I enjoy helping customers.
Cons – It's more about the storm clouds on the horizon. Leadership in Monroe wants to slash pay and benefits. They will try to break our union, either by using contractors or moving our jobs to Monroe.
Advice to Senior Management – Experienced people are more efficient and it directly affects the customer experience. That is a quality worth paying for. Go cheap and you will get cheap. No one likes talking to a machine, or a person that doesn't know their product or can't communicate properly.
