Pros of working at Charter Communications

Charter has an amazing overall compensation package.

Charter doesn't say up with the times in terms of work life balance. They are very resistant to change. An example reluctance to have any kind of remote working policy. It has caused the company to lose in house talent and attract new talent.

Pros of working at Charter Communications

Independent work schedule, ability to make my own paycheck based on my effort and success.

Cons of working at Charter Communications

Management rarely knows the actual job that their employees do because they are outside hires, unrealistic expectations are placed on the representative to produce despite zero accountability by other departments and no assistance from the management to get fellow leadership colleagues to hold their departments accountable for their work effectiveness and efficiency. Most importantly, people were promoted who cheated and used dishonest sales tactics leading to unreasonable expectations for honest workers and stolen opportunities to advance within the company.

Charter Communications benefits

Freedom to act as an independent representative and to setup my day as I saw fit.

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

Nothing, total garbage, very fake people with no idea how to run a company.

How would you improve Charter Communications's culture?

Stop promoting yes men and yes women from outside the company for leadership positions and instead promote successful workers who have done the jobs they oversee for the company.

How did you prepare for the Charter Communications interview?

Didn't need to prepare, went iin and answered honestly and was myself. You can prepare for an interview to overcome lack of experience or education, nor can you prepare in such a way as to overcome personality flaws that are readily apparent to managers.

How does your compensation at Charter Communications compare to the industry average?

It was a lot lower because we had no control over the work done in other departments. Had the installation and construction departments done their jobs better, we would've made good pay, but on average it was okay.

What's the diversity at Charter Communications like?

There was plenty of diversity, but more importantly they weren't hired for their skin color or ethnicity, but rather because they merited the opportunity.

What brings you the most joy at Charter Communications?

Helping customers get the services they needed.

Pros of working at Charter Communications

I liked working independently with very little micro management. As long as you were doing your job, ie. Making sales, attending meetings etc

Cons of working at Charter Communications

Management changed the structure of the metrics of your sales and in turn changed the commission structure. There wasn't a Customer SERVICE dept you could refer unhappy customers too. You had to diffuse the situation. And then speak with your immediate market manager .

Pros of working at Charter Communications

My co-workers.

Cons of working at Charter Communications

Career progression is promised but is non-existent. My skill set and work load has increased, however, my employer will not compensate me for these improvements. Annual raises are capped at 3% so that management can obtain bonuses, there aren't any incentives and no matter how much one accomplishes, it is never enough to achieve higher levels of pay.

Charter Communications benefits

I liked the idea of being able to transform marketing, but it was not at all supported by upper management. I was given all the responsibility but none of the enablement to make it happen.

Cons of working at Charter Communications

Poor leadership who micromanage all others. Weak HR.
