Pros
It is a job so you can pay your mortgage. If you are desperate, then by all means, work here.
Cons
Welcome back to 80s telecom: lying, cheating both the company and customers to not just flash 100% of monthly quota, but to get paid on non-existent new revenue. Compensation plan has been altered to the detriment of salespeople, no growth unless you were part of the former Centurytel. MPLS network is a disaster, 12 major outages in the last 6 months, 1 was a nationwide outage. CTL destroyed the Qwest MPLS network by replacing equipment with cheap Alcatel Lucent. Customers are running away, reputation of company is poor. Management expects 24 hour work cycle - live and breathe getting new customers. Work/Life balance is nonexistent. Management is untrained and abusive. If you want good employees, you have to pay for them - salaries are dropping to pre-2000 rates.
