RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at GCI full-time
Pros
- Company Meetings: They hold semi-annual company meetings where someone like the COO will take a couple of hours to provide all employees with company-wide updates. They are very informative meetings.
- Benefits: GCI has a very good 401k plan and health care benefits
- Treatment of Employees: Throughout my time at GCI, I've always felt watched out for as an employee. I've felt this from my immediate supervisor to the CEO.Cons
- GCI is becoming a larger company which is causing it to be a little less flexible than it once was.
Advice to Management
Continue the track of showing employees you care.

Pros
Pay... That is about it.
Cons
In the year I worked for the company, most of the non-white employees either quit or were fired. I myself am white so I was safe, but it was weird to see this and just gave me a creepy feeling. I am not from Alaska which is probably the reason I noticed it at all. None of the Alaskans seemed to notice or care about this trend. Most whites reading this review will probably not care or may even view it as a plus. For non-white individuals... be careful. Aside from the creepy racism, I would say this is a great place to work if you don't like to work. Most people are paid a full time salary for part time work. I would have stayed here forever, but I actually like to work and wanted to learn more about my profession than this company could offer.
Advice to Management
Lots of non-work related charges going towards expense accounts. Maybe educate your workers on what actually qualifies as an expense. Lots of wasteful spending.
