Pros

The ramp up period. In sale for the company, the ramp-up period is the only time when your pay-per-sale isn't AS tied to your performance in other sectors. Also, the benefits are really well done. 401k match up to 4.5% discounted stock prices, discounted cable.

Kontras

This will be difficult for people coming from another sale job to understand, but bare with me. They have these things called GATES. Even if you sell 1000 new subscribers to their internet service, if you do not hit your quota for Cable TV sales YOU GET ALMOST NO COMMISSION. That is right, near NADA. They tell you it is about POINTS, but much like who's line is it anyway: The POINTS DON'T MATTER if you don't hit quota. AND as they know Cable TV subscriptions are dropping each and every year, they tie your pay to this so they don't have to pay you for your sales. Really, the structure is there to make you strive for them, but to not actually have to pay you for them. Also, if you are going into the DSR position and want to use it as a means of moving into something else? FORGET ABOUT IT. It is literally their hardest position to fill because they are treated like dogs. When looking to move into another position, I was told: "Good luck, you have that DSR stink on you." STAY AWAY

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.

Kontras

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.
