Review from IT Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Communication across the board and follow up needs to happen.

Clueless leaders who specialize in bankruptcy need to be fired and new people brought in.

Customers can't reach customer service and when they do, they can't understand foreign accents. Communication is TERRIBLE.

instead of cutting costs to make money, how about offering a quality product, fiber to the home should have happened 20yrs ago.

Bad plant poor investment decisions

repair times use to be 24hrs, even for residential services. Since Storey has come along, he changed residential repair times to up to 14 days & did this in the middle of a pandemic. Everything gets back burnered, except for Level 0.

Review from Operations Dept

The company cannot grow revenue in anyway this is year four of the decline and theres no signs of immediate turnaround

poor cusotmer support, only top 10 cusotmers vioces are heard.

Raises its been a long time

Sell us off let us find new life with new management Ceo shoukd be in prison along with all telecom CEOs all of them only care about their pay

Review from Operations Dept

Well the company is not advertising and doing nothing

Proper sale percentage payment calculations

Lumen should value its employees more and invest in them, through training, benefits and better compensation. Raises should be given at least every 2 years, and employees should be consulted about their career goals and where they'd maybe like to advance through the company.

Leadership is out of touch with everything and everyone is too "pc".

Stop micromanaging and number mincing your employees that actually make the place run. Let the techs do their JOBS to help customers.. Stop forcing them to meet arbitrary numbers that mean nothing in the long run besides a few saved pennies while you lose dollars in customers.

Jobs under consumer ate constantly reduced making it impossible to deliver what the customer expects. People find themselves doing work of 3 jobs with no raise in over 6 years

Miscommunications all around, useless updates and patches, lack of training on new products

My suggestions will never be taken seriously by anyone in management

Review from Admin Dept

Put a focus back on doing it right THE FIRST TIME! And stop sending the work to bendors & out of country!
