Current Employee – been working at Frontier Communications full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – there is not much good to say about a company that is this blinded by the senior level's greed. All advanced opportunities are given to former ATT executives due to the "good old boy/girl " system
Cons – Leave the local environment and everything falls apart, Faced daily with 3 imperatives- People- truly they do not care about people, Products- ask anyone , we are so stuck in 1990 that products is a real joke. there is no Vision. And Profits, really, profits. cmon' stock has been valued at the $4 range for a long long time, Under Maggie's leadership, retire already
Advice to Senior Management – Take better care of your customers and employees. Everyone talks a good talk - but as a whole our company does NOT live it's core values, from the TOP down

Current Employee – been working at Frontier Communications full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Get to work with some good people, and some of the tech is "ok".
Cons – Basically everything is behind the curve. Old, EOL hardware, systems from the 80's running critical items like payroll, etc. Management is INEPT to put it politely. My immediate manager is great, but above him it's a revolving door where managers seem to be unable to last more than 6 months. They come in, often in large groups from another company (ie: migrating in herds) , make a ton of changes to processes and procedures without actually communicating any of it, stir up the politics, then move on to another company leaving everything in the lurch. The politics here are *INSANE*, especially in the last 6 months. The power grabs look like something that happens in a 3rd world dictatorship after the dictator-in-chief dies. Power-grabs, castle-building, newly-promoted managers and directors run amok, etc. Calling it the "Wild West" is a serious understatement to the chaos this company is under. Employees are quitting like rats jumping from a sinking ship. It's crazy!
Advice to Senior Management – Retire. Seriously, retire or move on. You obviously have no desire or ability to correct the issues we are experiencing, so please leave. Hire/promote process-driven people that will STABILIZE the company, and get things out of the wild-west, and into a structured world.

Former Employee – worked at Frontier Communications full-time for more than a year
Pros – The compensation was pretty good. The turnover was high enough to where I got to meet a lot of great people that were first-timers to Frontier.
Cons – The culture is absolutely horrendous and it becomes quite clear very quickly that the issue is with the CEO and the entire Senior Leadership Team. It's a toxic workplace where the upper management staff view themselves as aristocratic and elitist. Little to no direction and little regard for the well-being of their employees. It's also possibly one of the worst places to work for if you plan on going into IT. Their is a reason why the turnover is so high. There is a reason why there is so much work to do. One poor leadership change after another. Let me put it very plainly, don't partake in the opportunity. Work somewhere else and you will be absolutely better off.
Advice to Senior Management – It's time to leave. For the betterment of the employees and the company, you need to go. It's known to everyone that the management, in particular the SLT, are some of the worst there are, and absolutely the worst of all the ILECS. Experience what it's like to work in a real company, with morals, ethics, and compassion, and you will experience the growth you have all been in need of.
