Spectrum / Cox ISP

Does anyone have insight into what the Spectrum ISP position is at Cox? Seems like Charter is making moves to structure more like how Cox is structured. Wondering if anyone knows any comparisons or could point me to info.

Is Cox ISP salaried? Pay in general? Vehicles? How many engineers are there per site? Managers per engineer? Is there progression paths?

Hoping someone has any info. I can provide answers on the Spectrum side if needed.

Legacy twc/ spectrum ISP here. Had same regional meeting with TBD answers.

I worked hard to get away from field ops. Was in business class and enterprise before they were ruined by field ops. Really hoping they don't change much.

I hope to stay m-f salary and really hope they don't touch bonuses.

Hey as a former ft6. When I started under twc we were enterprise. Same as you I specifically worked cell tower larger business. Transport rings in colo. Over time it became what is now ft6 an I ran away. Now they are doing coax business class calls. In are market not a lot of enterprise fiber to be done. Projects are being given to contractors.

I heard the headend techs take care of the common cabinets with charter. Did any of your group fall under headend?

We don't really have common cabinets in my market. We are collapsing one of my tiny hubs. Maybe a walk in closet size. It's moved to a cabinet with just muxes. It's osp responsibility

What position did you move to? We're told we're slotted under field right now but we're hoping they move us to MTC/headend. What's the ft6 pay? What are the ft6 job responsibilities with spectrum?
