      Business outlook

      Pros

      Friendly environment, benefits were good

      Cons

      It's great if you drink the kool-aid and follow the mantra. If you're not very social or go against the grain in any kind of way, you're going to be unconfortable. Their family image only works if you don't disagree with anyone. Went downhill after the current president showed up.

      Excellent place to work if you are not part of the in house splice crew

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The pay for a fiber tech is great. The CEO, Rhonda Cook, takes care of her employees in multiple ways. great benefits, bonuses, weekly yoga, monthly charity drives, the G.R.I.T program, and all kinds of extra programs for her employees. She also holds quarterly meetings to show you exactly what is going on in the company. All around excellent place to work if you work in the corporate office and are not in the field.

      Cons

      If you work as a field fiber optic splicer many of the things mentioned above (minus benefits and bonuses) are not open to you. There are constant fiber outages on their 99% aerial network which means you will spend most of your time at work. There is absolute no balance between work and home life for a field splicer and no move by upper management to ease the stress off their in house technicians. This includes buying new, quality, equipment and making time for proper training. The ongoing legal battle been PS Lightwave and the company they came from, Phonoscope, actively hinders restoration progress on cable outages because the constant worry of lawsuit.

      A growing company that is full of opportunities

      Business outlook

      Pros

      In one word, you are being appreciated. The hours can be long, but it feels like a family. Great people to work with and for. There is so much momentum and outlook in this company, it feels like a startup company, but it is a solid company with a long history. Good benefits and you can tell that management cares. A yoga teacher on Thursdays, healthy snacks in the kitchen and a nice office environment. If you have ambitions and look for a place to grow, this is the place.

      Cons

      Lots of work & projects and sometimes stressful when trying to prioritize, easy to burn out.
