"I worked for EarthLink Business for 2 years and found it to be unsatisfactory both in environment and pay. I am an educated professional and found that to be promoted you had to know someone or have very specific Cisco networking skills. I also saw people get promoted who were frequently complained about and had been talked to about their behavior, whereas good workers were overlooked for the promotions. If you want to be overworked, paid lousy and play games then work here."
"Hostile work environment, to say the least."
"Bad communication between departments, unrealistic project schedules and unresponsive management. Would not recommend working here."
"I worked for One Communications/EarthLink for several years. To be blunt this company is awful! My recruiter left the week I started. BIG CLUE not to work here. I pushed on though. It was the dirtiest, nastiest place I ever worked. They should be shut down. I have seen this go from awful to worse, thus I no longer work at this idiot factory. if you believe the GOOD reviews take this in mind. You don't fire your CEO because he is just so awesome."
"Earthlink was a great company to work for, but earnings declined, so they laid off the marketing staff."
