Pros of working at CenturyLink

CenturyLink benefits

What do you like best about CenturyLink's CEO and the leadership team?

I like nothing about the senior leadership team. I don’t work there anymore, so I’m not familiar with the current leadership team. The old one ran the company into the ground and cost a lot of people a lot of money.

How would you improve CenturyLink's culture?

I don’t have any suggestions. It feels a little like they are rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.

How did you prepare for the CenturyLink interview?

I was with the company or a company that CenturyLink had acquired for over 14 years so I don’t remember

How does your compensation at CenturyLink compare to the industry average?

Average

What's the diversity at CenturyLink like?

My whole team was white middle-aged dudes, so I’m not sure that qualifies as diverse

What brings you the most joy at CenturyLink?

At the beginning, when I was working for a company that they acquired, I enjoyed interacting with our customers. I enjoyed solving problems. After they came in and bought us, the culture went in the toilet, the accounts that we’re so happy previously became combative and angry.

Seemed good at the beginning, but my team didn't see a raise for 5 years.

What's the diversity at CenturyLink like?

They're trying. Getting better. But there's still work to be done.

What brought me joy were the instances where a customer was taken care of by my team in a way that made them feel like they had made the right decision to go with that product, but that they felt like they could call back if they needed to.

Negative when it comes to honoring clients billing statements as just that, instead their billing statements have "JUNK MAIL enclosures/attachments

If Century Link will not listen to its own customer base, about junk mail and junk mail flyers that are sent out with monthly billing statements, and ignores multiple requests to stop adding junk advertising to its monthly billing statements , it shows the executive managements lack of listening skills

How does your compensation at CenturyLink compare to the industry average?

Compensation is on the low end compared to the average pay of other forecasters. Also, no annual raises or any other compensation, other than a bonus reflective of your work (better to be on the higher of great work) in March each year from the previous year.

What brings you the most joy at CenturyLink?

The most joy is figuring out the main issues causing problems with customers orders or working with a group of supervisors & field techs to get customers installed in a timely manner.
