Keller, TX

Current Employee – been working at Corning Cable Systems full-time for more than 7 years

ProsFlexible hours and people. The people that I worked with were great to be around and helpful when problems arose. The benefits are as good or better than any other employer I've had. They have great resources for improving yourself and investing in your career.

ConsWhile I was there, there were 3 re-organizations and 2 re-structurings. These changes had a very negative affect on the moral and reduced productivity. Upper management struggled with the direction of the technology section and good people started to leave the organization.
