Benefits? They’re Comcastic!
Comcast provides a rich, competitive benefits package for both full-time and part-time employees (if you’re part-time, benefits will vary depending on how many hours you work per week). And we’re continually evaluating existing and future benefits, with the well-being of every Comcast employee in mind. Read on for a look at some of the extraordinary benefits we offer. After all, why should our employees expect anything less of us than we expect of them - the best!
Health Care Coverage
Comprehensive medical and prescription, dental, and vision coverage.
Life Insurance
Basic Life Insurance provides a benefit of 1 1/2 times annual base earnings. Optional additional, spousal, and child life insurance are also made available for purchase.
Short-Term Disability
Fully funded short-term disability benefits may continue for up to 26 weeks per calendar year.
Long-Term Disability
Regular full-time employees automatically receive a basic level of Long-Term Disability coverage with the option to purchase supplemental coverage.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Education
Comcast reimburses up to $5,750 per calendar year for approved undergraduate and graduate degree-completion programs.
Vacation/Holiday
Employees are entitled to seven national paid holidays, eight flex days, three floating holidays depending on length of service, eligibility and date of hire. Vacation accrual is based on years of service, with ten days being the maximum per year for service under five years.
Future Investments
As part of our 401(k) retirement investment plan, employees are eligible for tax-deferred savings of up to 50% (or up to the annual IRS limits) of qualified earnings through a payroll deduction and can choose from a variety of investment funds. Comcast matches 100% of an employee's first 6% of savings (or up to the annual IRS limits).
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
The ESPP offers employees an opportunity to purchase shares of Comcast stock at a 15% discount. Each quarter, eligible employees may elect to contribute up to 15% of their pay (not to exceed $10,000 per year) toward the purchase of Comcast stock through payroll deductions. At the end of the quarter, the contributions will be used to purchase shares.
Additional Voluntary Benefits
Comcast offers voluntary benefits including group legal services, homeowners insurance, pet insurance, auto insurance, identity theft insurance, commuter benefits, and long-term-care insurance through convenient payroll deductions. There is also a Preferred Mortgage Program.
Employee Referral Program
No matter where you work or where your referral is hired, you will receive a referral bonus thanks to Comcast’s national referral program. In addition, there is a quarterly program that gives employees the chance to win prizes.
Adoption Assistance Program
The Adoption Assistance Program provides reimbursement for expenses associated with adopting a child. The maximum reimbursement is $10,000 for each legal adoption.
