Former Employee – worked at Qwest full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – Great pay for those without college degrees. Pro equal opportunity / diversity. Provides training.
Cons – Tons of policies, procedures. No so much anymore but there were a number of clicks. Lots of politics. Must know and learn a lot of material to function effectively. I suppose this is like any other big company, but you need to understand all of the pieces and how they fit together which often don't seem logical.
Advice to Senior Management – Come out the ivory tower and see what really happens in the real world.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
