| said by mikedz4  : What kind of discounts do comcast employees get? Quite a lot actually. You do get digital tv plus all premiums free, half off additional converters beyond the 1st digital box, half off PPV, free silver internet and half off phone service.
Do they get a discount on cell phone service or equipment/accessories? I know they get a discount on Nextel service, 20% off service and a flat rate on phones. And I am pretty sure you still get a 14% discount with Sprint. |

I went for a "CAE" job for Comcast. You will have to take 2 test's on the computer and then be interviewed by 2 people. |

But from what I have read their corporate discounts suck. But to get the discount with any company the account will have to be in your name. So your parents won't get the discount unless they change it over to your name. |

Make sure your IQ is well below 90 or you'll never get the job.

I was hoping. I don't understand how all these people get jobs when I have been trying for two months and am still unemployed. |

They go through waves. At the time you applied they probably already had a group of people in training(Comcast University) and they don't line up the next group until they are close to being done and ready to start working with subs. |

| It all depends on how many other people they are looking at bringing it. You could be hired site on scene, or be asked to come back for a second interview.
As for schedule, you work around their schedule. Since you'll be a new employee, you'll more than likely be stuck with the crappiest shift. You bid on a shift, and people with the most seniority are given it first and it goes down from there. |

So basically they won't hire me because of my school schedule? Also does the comcast account have to be switched from my dad's name to mine for me to get the discount on services? Will I get to test new services if I am hired or how does that work?
Oh I only have classes mainly in the evening. I have a morning class on saturday and don't start my afternoon class til november. |

| said by mikedz4 :So basically they won't hire me because of my school schedule? It's hard to tell. It depends on what position they hire you for. If they offer you a more flexible position, say in a warehouse, then you might get hired. But if they tell you all that they have open is the graveyard CSR shift and have school starting at 8am, you might have a hard time dealing with it and have to pass.
Also does the comcast account have to be switched from my dad's name to mine for me to get the discount on services? If Comcast gets a Cingular discount, yes, it would have to be in your name for him to get a discount. It works this way for all companies.
Will I get to test new services if I am hired or how does that work? Not likely. VOD was but things like faster speeds and stuff aren't for the most part. Usually things like that are left to management and engineering to test.
In all honesty, you're jumping the gun here. You should just wait till the interview is over with and see. Every area has different policies for hiring, and once you are hired they'll give a packet with all the info about the benefits and whatnot. |

I was talking about comcast services. The bill used to be in my name when they combined the internet and cable bills when it was att. Then my dad switched it back to his name a month later. Will it have to be switched back to my name to get the discount on cable services?
Will I get to test the digital voice or new cable tv services? What is shown for comcast reps on channel 799? I know it says comcast employees channel but what does it show and does it get turned on if I am hired? |

Employees get 100% discount on all services except Home Networking and DVR service (about $10.00 ea. per month) and PPV will be about half. Good Luck! |

| Digital VOice I think is only like 15% off.
Gold service you have to pay for. I think its an extra 5.00
PPV is half off
All digitla is free,
DVR's or HD's are full price.
But clear out the door you get all prems, a digital conv,internet all free.
Everything else is full or somewhat discounted.
