Pros

A relatively stable company.

Comcast is making money.

Provides benefits and free cable.

Will probably keep making money even in a recession.

Often has a monopoly in certain cable markets.

Cons

Very big company with poor communications.

Customer service is poor.

Benefits are getting more and more expensive.

Little recognition of work performance.

Expected to be available 7/24.

Tends to rule by fear.

No sharing of information between departments.

No clear leadership.

Micromanaged by senior management.

Tools to do work are not included in the project plans.

Budgets are extremely complex and unrealistic.

Poor morale, and a "do not care" attitude is developing with some employees.

Advice to Management

Provide proper communications between employees.

No more useless meetings with no agenda, minutes, or action points.

Do not promote SMEs with no management skills to senior management. Instead, pay them properly.
