Frontier Communications Corp. (NASDAQ: FTR) is one of the larger 
communications companies in the United States, known primarily for 
providing services to rural and smaller American towns and cities. While 
Frontier Communications has been downsizing its workforce in recent 
years –headcount dropped by roughly 1,000 between 2012 and 2013 — the 
company considers its relationship with its employees to be good. Its 
employees may disagree, however. A number of reviewers seem to think 
Frontier Communications is no longer on the forefront of communications 
technology. One current employee explained, “The reason you can’t hire 
is that no one wants to work on a dinosaur.”

Despite the challenges of providing services to small, remote 
populations, Frontier has sought to expand its control of the rural 
market in recent years. The company bought 4.8 million access lines from 
Verizon in 2009. The company’s revenue, however, declined from $5.2 
billion in 2011 to $5.0 billion in 2012 and then to $4.8 billion last year.
