How employees describe working at Windstream
That i can make someone else happy by just talking to them. And when i get a new sale cause i know i am closer and closer to hitting commission.
THE BEST COMPANY TO WORK FOR!
some customer service personnel are not familiar with communication features sold to customers and refuse to connect customer to someone who is knowledgeable. I am paying for a feature that I was told has been disconnected. Can not find out more info.
They are not micro-managers. They let you alone for the most part to do your job and dont act irked if you need their help with something.
less whining and more solution based

What's the vibe like in the Engineering dept at Windstream? How many hours are you working?
Working a lot on what we think are the important things to do.
What's the Engineering team like at Windstream?
The leadership team isn't qualified to lead. There is very little to no communication on company goals, lots of layoffs and the team being formed is all from EarthLink management, the modem bank company. They have no idea what to do with a company that is 10 times larger than what their company used to be. We have 100 people every day sitting on a conference call discussing fiber issues from the previous evening. Such a waste of time.

Lately, in my division, if you were from the EarthLink merger, you were given a high ranking position, regardless of your qualifications or lack thereof.

Not very secure at all.
What's the best part of your job at Windstream?
Being paid every 2 weeks.
How do you feel about going to work at Windstream everyday?
It can be mentally draining because of all of the layoffs. There have been at least 3 layoffs that I know of so far this year and I think we may have another coming before the end of 2017. Add to that the lack of executive knowledge concerning the voice industry and it can be disheartening.
