Lead OSS Voice Systems Engineer (Former Employee) – Ashburn, VA – September 28, 2017
CenturyLink was a very comfortable and very congenial place to work. All of the people that I worked with were very educated and very polite. I would have no problem working with them again.
Micromanaged with heavy emphasis on productivity and profits
PAC (Current Employee) – Columbus, OH – November 17, 2018
Spectrum (Charter) is not structured in the customers' best interest and does not operate as if the customer is their entire existence. Same seems to apply to their employees. Upper management is all about good numbers. Often times common sense and taking care of the customer is over-ruled by scores and percentages. There is no reward, only discouragement, to be had for actually caring for the customer.
While the compensation and benefits are decent enough, the stress and aggravation that come with the job deserve much better. F-

Pros
Decent pay and benefits
Cons
You've never felt more like an expendable 5 year-old
Highly Sexist Organization
Project Manager (Current Employee) – Denver, CO – November 17, 2018
This was a very sexist company. I would not recommend working there. Executives are constantly making inappropriate comments. Only the women seem to get fired. This was not a collaborative work environment. The company did a terrible job merging BHN, Spectrum and TWC.

Broadband Technician (Current Employee) – Roseburg, OR – November 17, 2018
boss was great, the job was cool, but the company itself dose not care about the health and welfare of the employee. Most (not all) routers have a power trip and over load the techs schedule. And although the upper management knew that we had really bad equipment that has been "fixed" it never worked and we were told to just lie to customers. I don't condone lying to the customers.
Pros
Never had to pay for gas
Cons
no home/work balance
terrible management
Sr Software Engineer (Current Employee) – Broomfield, CO – November 17, 2018
Management changes after the TWC/CHARTER merger left the video services dept in a very bad place. I would not recommend the new Charter for any developer trying to truly "advance" their career.
Flexible work scheduled

Spectrum
Sales Support Coordinator II (Current Employee) – St. Louis, MO – November 15, 2018
After 6 years and receiving a 4 out of 5 on job performance i have never received over $1 raise on a yearly review as an hourly employee. Spectrum does offer free internet/tv/phone for all employees starting day one of hire.
Poor tool stability, and management can vary
Internet and Phone Repair Agent (Current Employee) – Saint Petersburg, FL – November 15, 2018
It's a call center. The call volume can vary, and it's nice when it's low, but can be stressful when things are back-to-back. However, things are released before they should be, both for the tools to support customers, and for customer features themselves, so you occasionally have to deal with explaining to the customer that nothing can be done right now. Management can vary, there are lots of new supervisors, and how strictly they adhere to policy or how lenient they are about stats or behavioral issues can vary greatly. Benefits are excellent and the free cable service is a plus, but it does take a certain kind of person to work well there.
Pros
Complimentary Spectrum Services, Excellent Healthcare
Cons
Poor tool stability, management can vary
Mediocre company
Customer Service Professional (Former Employee) – Bradenton, FL – November 15, 2018
When i was hired into the company i was a Brighthouse employee. I handled sales, tech support and billing calls. Brighthouse treated there employees with respect and recognition was always given. When the company was sold to Spectrum there were some hiccups as to be expected when new management came aboard. Our environment changed slightly due to new guidelines given to help our existing customers adapt to the price increases or "cost of doing business" from Spectrums lineup. Overall as a employee of Spectrum I'd say it was a stepping stone.
Pros
Job stability was great
Cons
Inconsistent work policies
Spectrum is very unpredictiable
Retail Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Port Arthur, TX – November 15, 2018
Spectrum overall is the worst job, the communication and lack of coordination is what makes it so challenging. The most enjoyable part of my job is making sure our customer were satisfied and also great team!
Pros
Great team
Cons
management above supervisor

3d market company....host twc
Provision Independent Sales Rep./Recruiter (Former Employee) – New York, NY – November 15, 2018
As a d2d customer service/sales rep at a time when it was called twc, it really transform my carreer with sales. They gained a nice earning then. The service was gd at a fare price. They gave fare employment opportunities.
Pros
Financial bonus
Good
Warehouse Manager (Former Employee) – Livonia, MI – November 15, 2018
Before the merger things were much better culture wise because we were a family owned organization. Once we merged with Charter that family type culture definitely went away. Overall Charter was a good company with good pay and decent benefits
There is a lot of ongoing changes, and it's a fast paced environment.
Customer Service Manager (Former Employee) – Ontario, CA – November 14, 2018
The culture is good. Open to feedback and weekly meetings are held. Teams can sometimes be large. Not a lot of team building but performance is recognized.
Pros
Discounted Services and Benefits
Cons
Mergers create a lot changes.
Great for skill building, if not career longevity
Information Technology Role (Current Employee) – Denver, CO – November 14, 2018
Pros:
Amazing Benefits
Competitive Pay
Opportunity to grow and develop skills
Cons:
Zero work/life balance
Outdated company cultural policies that don't seem to match the core mission statement
Going above and beyond is expected rather than respected and appreciated

I could be something great
Tier 3 Customer Service Repair Agent (Former Employee) – Orlando, FL – November 14, 2018
Spectrum as a whole is a good place to work, nice clean environment and the appearance of guidance. Unfortunately they are struggling with new policies and procedures which have them focusing on issues that don't or shouldn't impact an agent or sometimes its just completely out of your hands yet you are chastised for performance when its ultimately up to someone else whether or not you are doing your job.
Pros
break room, snack and drinks vending machines in cafeteria, food trucks monday through friday.
Cons
short breaks, unorganized management, most leadership have conflicting opinions.
