Pros

Work and Life Balance
XO offers better prices in its services
Employee reimbursements are quick!
Telecommunications, if you like the industry.
Ask the right questions in your interview, speak with HR about benefits and your interviewer about advancement opportunities within the department and in others.
Wish the hype clock could be turned back to that $180+ per share price while working for this organization! XO has a nice ring to it

Cons

Industry is saturated, but the company is majority owned and thus controlled.
Lacking in top down approach from upper levels causes a huge discrepancy between lifetime employees and recent hires. This company has been through constant transformation since coming out of bankruptcy.
Most highly motivated, goal driven employees who produce do not stick around the organization, based on the last several years.

Advice to Senior Management

Improve Management/Executive approach from the top down.

Hire motivated, intelligent employee's who produce and set new challenges and advancement opportunities. It will create a better more efficient, cost effective employee base. It is also a perfect market to take advantage of this opportunity.
