Key Takeaways
Comcast’s After-Tax 401(k) and In-Plan Roth Conversions Are Underused
The Comcast 401(k) allows after-tax contributions and in-plan Roth conversions, a powerful way to save extra retirement dollars and build tax-free assets. The advisor below finds many employees are unaware of the option or unsure whether it fits their situation.
Comcast’s ESPP and RSUs Need a Plan for What to Hold and What to Sell
The employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock units can steadily build a position in Comcast stock. Understanding how each plan works, how much to hold relative to the rest of your portfolio, and the tax impact of selling helps keep that concentration in check.
Weigh Unvested Comcast Stock Before Timing a Job Change
Unvested shares are forfeited when you leave, so a vesting date just ahead can affect when it makes sense to move. When comparing offers, look at the full compensation package — equity and benefits included — not just base salary and bonus.
Why Comcast Employees Work with a Specialist Financial Advisor
Throughout the year, Comcast provides its employees and executives with updates about their benefits, ranging from health insurance and health savings accounts to retirement plans like a 401(k) with Roth and after-tax savings options — along with an employee stock purchase plan and, for many employees, equity awards such as restricted stock units. While the company offers many useful resources and access to knowledgeable staff who can assist with questions, you’ll also find financial professionals not affiliated with Comcast who specialize in helping Comcast employees make the most of their income and benefits.
Comcast is headquartered at the Comcast Center and Comcast Technology Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and its NBCUniversal business employs thousands more in New York City, Los Angeles, and at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida. Whether you work at one of those sites, another Comcast or Xfinity office, or remotely from home, you may have questions about your compensation package and benefits better suited for a financial professional who can offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Sensitive topics — like the steps you should take before quitting your job at Comcast to work elsewhere, protecting yourself in advance of a corporate layoff, or deciding when you should plan to retire — are all conversations that may be more comfortable with a trusted financial advisor.
Should You Hire a Comcast Specialist or a Local Financial Advisor?
You’ll likely find dozens of nearby financial advisors well-suited to help you reach your money goals with a personalized plan. But it can be harder to find a financial advisor who specializes in serving Comcast employees. Fortunately, many financial advisors offer virtual services, so you can meet online no matter where you (or they) live — which means you can hire a specialist financial advisor who lives hundreds of miles away if their knowledge and experience working with Comcast employees is the better fit for your unique needs.

QAs a financial advisor with experience helping Comcast employees save for their retirement, how do you help them make the most of their employee benefits?
Comcast offers an array of incredible benefits to its employees. Employees need to make impactful decisions regarding their retirement, health, stock plan, and other benefits. I review Comcast benefits and compensation plans to ensure that employees are making the best decisions for their personal situations.
When it comes to retirement savings, the Comcast 401(k) plan is undoubtedly the most impactful benefit. I help employees decide how much they can and should be contributing to the plan, if they should elect Pre-Tax or Roth contributions, and which investments within the plan best align with their goals.
QWhen you first speak with a Comcast employee, what questions do you like to ask to better understand their unique circumstances and determine how you can best help them achieve their goals?
I first like to learn more about the employee and their family. I think that it is important that I understand what their ideal life looks like and where they currently stand financially. Only then can I determine which benefits will provide them with the most value and then begin to make financial suggestions. I also like to ask if they receive Comcast equity as part of their compensation, as this will impact our planning.
QIs there a particular benefit available to Comcast employees you feel isn’t as well utilized or understood by employees as it should be?
The Comcast 401(k) plan allows for after-tax contributions and in-plan Roth conversions. This feature can be incredibly impactful to help Comcast employees save extra retirement dollars and build their tax-free retirement assets. However, many Comcast employees may not be aware of this opportunity or may need assistance in determining if this strategy is right for them.
QBeyond Comcast employee benefits for retirement savings, are there other types of benefits offered by the company that you find valuable to discuss with your clients?
Comcast offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The plan allows employees to purchase Comcast stock through payroll deductions at a 15% discount, which can be very attractive to employees. Comcast also offers many employees equity as part of their compensation, typically in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). When RSUs vest, employees can either hold on to the stock and participate in future Comcast growth, or they can sell the shares, essentially turning them into a cash bonus.
When it comes to the ESPP and RSUs, it’s essential that employees understand (1) how each plan functions, (2) if they should hold on to some or all of the stock, and how this concentration in Comcast Stock affects their overall investment portfolio, and (3) if they decide to sell stock, what the income tax implications will be.
QFor Comcast employees thinking about leaving the company to accept a job elsewhere, what actions do you recommend they take before resigning and shortly thereafter?
One of the most commonly overlooked considerations that I see here is if the employee has any unvested stock on the table. While this should never be the most important factor in moving on, it may have an impact on the timing of departure as the employee may have considerable value in shares available to them soon that they are otherwise forfeiting.
Additionally, I like to help employees analyze the value of the total compensation package for the new role that they are considering. While we understandably place a heavy emphasis on base salary and cash bonus, it’s important to also consider the value of any equity compensation and benefits as well.
