<p>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.”</p>
<p>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.<br>
