Pros

Training: Nice people to work with.

Facilities: Excellent equipment to complete work.

Discounted cell phone service.

Excellent communication, but unfortunately usually bad news.

Cons

The complex and layered politics of "the olden days of the phone company" cripple any true progress or innovation. There's a crappy annual increase and evaluation process, with little room for advancement. People who kiss up most times get positions in power when they are ill-equipped to execute.

Advice to Management

Retire Stankey before he ruins your company and morale.
