A good place to work at the time
Network Design Engineer (Former Employee), Wilkes-Barre, PA – March 19, 2013
Pros: great job while it lasted
Cons: the technology market went bad and took rcn with it.
RCN was a good place to work during their growth period. I would design fiber optic networks that enhanced the customers choices for in home entertainment. I learned a lot about cable TV & High speed internet as well as the land scape of the most densely populated areas of the country.

Productivity
Universal Service Representative (Current Employee), Bethlehem, PA – October 11, 2012
A day at RCN would consist of taking in-bound calls. The need of the customers is to be serviced quickly. But I learned to be patient when trouble-shooting technical issues because these type of resolutions can take time to complete, and customers appreciate the time taken to get it resolved. So, if you like a technical service job that involve cable, – more... phone, and internet RCN is the job for you. – less

Stable Job with some fun activities to look forward to.
Customer Maintenance Service III (Current Employee), Allentown, PA – September 16, 2012
Pros: sometimes they have fun days like football jersey day or wear your favorite hat day etc
Cons: no chances of advancements for employees with disabilities
My typical day at work entails answering other carriers' phone calls requesting information. I also spending my days processing work orders to disconnect customer's phone lines so they can port their phone numbers from RCN to another carrier such as Verizon, Comcast, Service Electric etc. Although it can be frustrating at times having to struggle doing – more... two or three different things at one time, it is nice knowing that it helps make the day go by fast. – less

very friendly workplace - casual dress appreciated
Data Entry for field reps (ICOMS) (Former Employee), Wilkes-Barre PA 18702 – July 5, 2012
Pros: given christmas luncheon and summer cookout
Cons: cons were not a good chance for advancement in this department
typical day: open the queue at Noon - took orders from field reps for products (internet, cable and / or phone). entered orders into application ICOMS for maintenance and billing. there were six of us until the department was moved to out-of-state locations. management was there to uphold rules and regulations for the field reps as well as assistance – more... for the date entry people. most difficult part of the job was telling the field rep that the client did not pass the credit check, therefore denying service. co-workers were great - many great friendships were created. the most enjoyable part of the job was the camaraderie of all the reps both in the office and in the field. – less
