Comcast

The benefits were outstanding.

There was a real camaraderie and team effort to projects. You felt like you were not alone in getting your work done.

The company as a whole started cutting heads and moving whole sections of operations to various areas (i.e., Finance goes to Atlanta). This made you feel like you didn't matter and were just a number on a spreadsheet to be slashed or forced to relocate if you wanted to keep the years you were loyal to the company.

This creates a silo effect, and any requests from customer-facing employees seem to go down a black hole.

Let the local markets handle their business instead of somebody in Atlanta who's never set foot in your building.
