PAETEC Reviews

Pros

The Benefits and a great reliable network with open communication.

No advancement opportunities for a field technician...frozen payscale

Advice to Senior Management

Enjoy your retirement

Pros

Beautiful headquarters, great reputation, generous vacation, lots of fun people to work with, cutting edge, state of the art.

Cons

no raises, meager bonuses (if any at all), cut lots of benefits, hard to advance, lots of hard work with little appreciation shown.

Pros

Great work enviorment! People come to work to work and take responsibilty for thier clients

Cons

New merger with Windstream could possibly be the end of my position since they under staff and churn salesforce fast

Advice to Senior Management

Reorganize your mangement and have Windstream really take advantage of smart hardworking people that could take your company to the next level. You need to adopt to the PAetec way because that's what customers want...we know we asked.

Pros

flexible work schedule / personal time and family time are important to management.

Cons

just like with many companies in this time, stability is not high.

Pros

We were the little engine that could and morale was good. Work was always there and challenging but never felt like it was a burden.

Cons

Once the company went public, who the company answered to mattered more than who the company was. Growth by acquisition means integration nightmares (which are ongoing), debt, and good people being "pruned from the bush". It has become two steps forward and one step back.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep your fingers crossed the Windstream buyout goes through so you can wash your hands of the last four years being mired in corporate mud.

Pros

Open communicatiom and good benefits.

Cons

Financial uncertainty and job insecurity.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus on growing the revenue vs a constant elimination of jobs.

Pros

Good growth prospects. Growing business.

Merger of my company with PAETEC was friendly for a buyout - they clearly wanted to keep the good people.

Cons

Merger pending with Windstream - uncertainty of future direction.

Portfolio of purchased companies make it hard to work together as a single company.

Advice to Senior Management

Show more flexibility and sense in how policies are implemented. Many policies are implemented with little thought for the real-world implications.

Pros

Paycheck comes every 2 weeks...

Cons

can't keep full coverage of employees so expect overtime from just about everyone .

Advice to Senior Management

Stop buying every company under the sun and start getting all of these companies working togeather
