Pros
Free cable if you live in the Optimum footprint, health is decent. I have a set schedule so this isnt flexible so this way I can plan stuff from a month from now. Work clothes given but use to be better pants from 5.11 which had lots of pockets, held up better, and flexible. Now they have dickies which are not as good as materials
Cons
Since it was bought out in june 2016 from cablevision, medical costs soared, lots of layoffs, buyouts for older employees who wanted, pay not worth compared to verizon or spectrum. Moving up a job grade is difficult with only 1 to 10% pay increase. Once you get maxed out in your dept their is little room to move if at all. Sick days were cut yearly bonus, also 401k year end contribution of around 2 to 3% for getting rid of the pension back in 2013. Also, got rid of a buyout of any sick or personal days not used. So use it or lose it. Multiple depts shops have formed unions in response to losing this and putting extreme pressure on numbers and fear of losing more.
