What do you like about working at Qwest?
"I worked for Qwest for most of my adult life and I really enjoyed the culture of the company. They treated me respect and were very generous in my compensation. I started out as a Customer Service Representative, moved to become a Service Delivery Coordinator and became on outside Network Technician in construction which eventually led to my promotion to the role of a Construction Supervisor. Qwest paid for me to go back to school and finish my BA degree while I worked full time. Qwest was an excellent employer for the time I worked there."
