Pros

CallTower is great place to work! I have been given opportunity after opportunity to grow my career. Middle managers treat those who they supervise with respect and do everything they can to make your job easier. The CEO has put together a great executive team over the last year, which has made CallTower even better. Great things are really happening for the company with the third quarter of 2013 as proof. The sales team really killed it in the third quarter. All of our customers were migrated to CallTower Connect, our new provisioning portal which one customer called “Bloody awesome!”. The marketing team has totally transformed CallTower’s image. The culture committee has truly made difference in morale from getting free sodas to all the treats each month. The employee appreciation day was one of the highlights of the quarter. All departments have seen new employees added during the year. This is all possible because we have an investor who sees what we are trying to accomplish and believes in us. Previous posts have criticized our CEO, but what they fail to mention is that the previous management team left CallTower to be sold to the highest bidder. They didn’t believe in CallTower’s future. We owe the company’s survival to our current CEO. He may have his faults (who doesn’t), but his passion for making CallTower great cannot be questioned.

Cons

Communication between the executives and the rest of the company can be better. Communication needs to be better between departments. Senior management needs to get out of the way of the employees and trust us to get the job done. We don’t need to be micromanaged.

Worst company I ever worked for.

Pros

Decent base salary, but there really was not anything they could pay to make me go through that all over again.

Cons

I have never been treated this poorly at any company I have ever worked for or been a customer of. The vice president of sales was a vile person and publicly humiliated his sales force that were under producing on a regular basis. I lost commissions because the sales manager couldn't stay on schedule to go to a meeting where I was closing a deal.

Pros

- Had a great product set to meet the needs of real business communication problems. - Had dynamic leadership, sales, and ops at one time - Was early to market and could have commanded the space with enough investment - Employees that worked there (at one time) were engaged, excited and committed, and some of the hardest workers I have ever known. That made for a "fun" work environment.

Cons

- Horribly mismanaged company - from the CEO down - "Best Buddies" at the exec level were oblivious to customer dissatisfaction, new market entrants flush with capital, employee dissatisfaction, and lacked a desire to conquer the market - Constant change of go-to-market strategy alienated existing customer base, scared away potential new customers and tore through employees in a completely demoralizing way - Paid well-below market wages at all level (except, I am sure at the exec levels) - Very loyal employees at all levels with years of "mindshare" and "tribal knowledge" are treated with utter disdain and disrespect by management - Customer service was not focused on customer retention
