Working at Spectrum

Cons: The thing I like least about my job is the lack of flexibility for remote work. I work best in an inviting environment where I feel like my work matters, and I can be individualistic in my workflow. Individual workers in the corporate office are assigned closed off cubicles, and are required to conform to the companies corporate dress code. In addition to this, the office is always kept cold, and the interior is grey-washed and everything is uniform. It makes it really uninspiring to work in the office. As a knowledge worker, I understand why some might like the uniformity of an office, however, I am most productive in a remote work environment. It saves me commute time and offers a better work-life balance for me.

Cons: New management and how meetings keep getting shortened to save time so management can have meetings on changes being made and then not communicate it to us. The team.

Cons: Management. They micromanage to the extreme now. They tend to lump their failures on technicians more so than ever now. Management in Kansas City has formed a habit of blaming technicians for everything that goes wrong. The Kansas City Spectrum operations/management staff is dysfunctional by definition and has only gotten worse over time.

Cons: Difficulty terminating employees that don’t work well and bring down morale at the store but it’s easy for upper management to terminate store managers and assistant managers who are held accountable for the performance of the employees who don’t perform or show up but can’t get terminated easily

Cons: Lack of upward mobility at local level

Cons: Unable to follow through on promised raises across many years, feels stagnant.
