Pros

I've been at GCI for close to 20 years and have always loved the ability to learn & grow and find new career paths within the company.

Advice to Management

Think changes through before implementing - for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Things are changing so fast that processes aren't updated or communicated and staff don't always know how they should be doing their jobs.

Employees no longer feel valued, good people have been let go and good people are leaving. The new upper management doesn't appear to understand the culture of GCI or their market. The Alaska economy is quickly declining and GCI just wants to provide the top of the line most expensive options. Look at the business environment in the state and see how you can help them operate their business affordably - you will have loyal customers.

Keep your staff updated on changes, you would benefit from getting input from staff that has been around a long time.

Let your staff know that they are appreciated. Most of the staff are over worked and have more stress than they should. You are losing good people and don't seem to care.

Pros

Depending on the department you can find yourself gainfully employed for a good amount of time.

Advice to Management

Spend more time with your subordinates. Actually spend time to see what it is they do, how they do it, and why they don't do it in the way you want them to. Being out of touch with how things actually GET DONE is common to many departments.

Pros

Good pay and full benefits, including performance-based yearly raises, 401k matching, educational benefits, full health benefits, 3-4 weeks paid vacation, periodic job market study based pay adjustments, plus opportunities to work on sales projects regardless of what department you are in.

Lots of opportunities to cross-train and shift over to other departments to develop your career.

Well-managed, especially at the C-level - very focused, talented, and admirable founder/CEO, GM, COO, and VPs. Lots of communication between C-level and entry-level, both via email and in person. They keep you constantly informed about how the company is doing. Most middle management great as well. Lots of friendly and fun people.

Advice to Management

Consider investing a bit more in training and career development for employees.

Pros

Great opportunity for advancement and technical education.

Advice to Management

Keep appreciation of employees high, training is a must.

Pros

If you need experience this is a good starting point.

Advice to Management

Watch out for group think, talk to staff without middle management around. Quit promoting people past their highest level of incompetency. If everyone is agreeing with you then you likely aren't getting the real story.

Pros

Benefits
Opportunities for growth are everywhere.
Education assistance is great for those seeking furthering their education

Advice to Management

Promote first and give a larger workload. Some supervisors expect you to perform higher tasks before being promoted.
