      I have been working at Comcast full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Working at Comcast has given me the opportunity to develop myself; take the time to grow and learn, and that was really important to me during the time in my life when I joined the company. If you have the drive and ambition, there are a ton of ways in which you can grow into a leader if that's what you want to be. I took advantage of the continued education benefit and am finishing my masters degree now... I also joined a couple of the employee resource groups which offer seminars and networking events that support your professional profile. Listen, I'm not a total nerd. The point of my post is that this isn't a company you join and just stay stale within. They encourage your growth, but it's up to you to make it happen. Not only this - it's pretty exciting. We're busy and we have big jobs to do. My salary is in the top percentile for my industry but not only this, I again get the continued education (which is ~$6K/year) plus free cable/internet, top health care benefits and a truly balanced lifestyle - which is rarely the case within the Tech industry.

      Cons

      Telling people you work at Comcast triggers 2 typical responses: 1) A big hatred rant on customer service 2) A how do I get my foot in the door?

      The reputation of the company is difficult, but the style of the company is to stay humble - I've never seen the company defend themselves against the harmful and discrediting news that exists. I personally think they should defend themselves a little more - they are between a rock and a hard place in many instances of service. I personally experienced visiting someone's home where the issues they were having with their connection was due to a tree root growing into the cable lines which had been their for over 20 years. Things like that cannot be diagnosed over a phone call. It's hard work in the field for sure. Being a part of the corporate side sometimes we're too disconnected from what's happening on the frontline. So I think the size of the organization comes with its complications, but again if you're a working professional looking for an exciting, robust and sexy career, you can comfortably have it here.

      I have been working at Comcast full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      The benefits are outstanding, company invests in your success/progression. In a year's time you can progress fairly quickly. The training has changed more computer based, however once you're on the floor it's pretty much the same.

      Cons

      The timeframe of a response after applying needs improving...After your year. It is a difficult job you're going to be pushed, however it's up to you to take on the challenge and succeed.

      Advice to Management

      Progression is wonderful in a year's time I've progressed as a customer service representative 3 times. However please improve the response time from the recruiters as well as feedback. As much as Comcast doesn't want customer service agents to apply just to get off the phone's, if it's been a year and they are meeting all metrics there should be a quicker response from recruiter's regrading next process and or feedback.i know I've been a hiring manager it take some time to hear back from certain people, but as much as we promote being transparent with our customers the same focus should be for our employees.
