great place to work, good conditions
Applicant Services Program Specialist (Former Employee) – Hauppauge, NY – February 16, 2019
the age discrimination act of 1967, as amended, prohibits discrimination in hiring of people over the age of 40. Litigious applicants be mindful. Pleasant.

Retail Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Arkadelphia, AR – February 14, 2019

Poor management
Work culture
Lead Maintenance Mechanic (Former Employee) – Stratford, CT – February 10, 2019
My 13 years of experience from Cablevision to Altice was great working place and i was sad to leave Altice because of downsizing.
Over my course at working at this company it was a very interesting time. as a whole the company was a great place to work. The people, work culture, team work and overall management was good.
Through the transition, I did see a change in the company.

Residential Account Executive (Former Employee) – Tinton Falls, NJ – February 7, 2019
Salary plus commissions. Sales goals are realistic and easy to obtain. You only have to go into the office 2 days a week. The benefits are good and not expensive. I’m
Alright Place To Work
INTERNSHIP (Former Employee) – Bethpage, NY – February 4, 2019
Interned there, was pretty depressing since everyone was leaving. Altice was pretty much gutting the company or moving people to Texas so it wasn't great to watch. I did learn a good amount and my team was good, but overall I dont feel like it is a good place to expand my career.
A day at Altice
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Newark, NJ – January 31, 2019
A day filled with inconsistency and without support from management. No one ever wanted to be responsible and wanted representatives to handle everything without proper support or guidance. I learned how to excel in an environment that was impossible to excel in. Hardest part of the day was being bombarded with calls regarding a service that was subpar and being made to make promises that in no way could be fulfilled and without being able to compensate the customer for their issues without their request, credits had to be requested specifically one could not proactively offer a credit even if an issue was verifiable without the customer asking for it even if would help appease the customers frustration.
Pros
Good colleagues
Cons
Lack of consistency, penny pinching at every corner, micro managing
Only the strong survive.
Customer Service Specialist - Retention (Former Employee) – Piscataway, NJ – January 23, 2019
Its pretty cut throat in the retention department. The commission structure is based on a departmental pool. You may not necessary get the full compensation of your efforts based on what everyone else on the floor does.
Pros
Bonus comission if you are one of the few lucky ones
Cons
Performance goals are unrealistic.
Great compensation and benefits
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Co-Op City, NY – January 23, 2019
The jobs pay was always amazing, many opportunities to make bonus pays and get raises. When focused it's easy to advance at this job. The managers are all great and always on your side and helpful. The benefits and incentives are amazing.
Now for the negative, your schedule changes every year with no control on your part. Whether it's late night or early morning, no weekends or just random days off during the week. No matter your life situation, you are obligated to change your schedule every year and its totally random and out of your control. The job entails you dealing with extremely irate customers. Out of 10 calls you received, 8 of them yelled at you. Its exhausting dealing with that for eight hours straight.
Rules are very strict and breaks very short. Taking days off are almost impossible and getting vacations approved are extremely difficult. I had no life working at this job. Even had to work after getting a root canal be are because they wouldn't approve time off. God forbid you enjoy holidays, because working for this company, you will work every single one of them.

Unrealistic monthly goals
They dont care about employees or customers
Technician (Former Employee) – Piscataway, NJ – December 29, 2018
They dont care about you or the customers. If a customer complains about 1 thing fix that and leave. We used to fix the entire house now we dont even bother. Let the customers pay $80 for the call. Eventually they will stop calling cause they dont want to pay the fee is the idea. Dont work for this company. It was horrible
Worked for amazing executive, attended offsite conferences
EA to Compliance Officer at Cablevision (Former Employee) – Bethpage, NY – December 28, 2018
Worked there when it was Cablevision. I do not know much about the culture but I hear it's not good. Low pay. They let go of most support, IT and executives and brought in their own people. Lots of people lost their jobs. Some after working 20+ years.
Pros
No knowledge
Cons
Low pay
Stressful place to work
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) – Newark, NJ – December 18, 2018
Like most companies numbers are the drive but at Altice they make you a number not a name. There is no real room for error and always cut throat with it. There is also no accountability by upper management and never any help by upper management.
Stressful and non secured
Technical Support Rep (Current Employee) – Newark, NJ – December 18, 2018
