Pros

Comp reviews annually without having to have a competing offer to get a raise. Very flexible work from home/remote. Many many people get promoted through the same or other groups.

Cons

Most of the team is remote which can be hard to feel like part of the team.

Pros

Some skilled individuals in the organization at the non-managment level.

Cons

Onestream Networks a Call Tower acquired company is a horrible place to work. Call Tower offers low pay in a semi-monthly fashion with weak benefits, demanding project managers, customers, and management alike. Call tower does not have a single documented SOP, SLA, or any training material. From day one you will be expected to take on customer-facing issues, engage in customer-facing meetings, take mainline calls, and keep up with the constant Call Tower playbook, which has nothing to do with your actual role. Call Tower will use its playbook and the advantage 101 while touting that they are a fun, employee-centered "tech" company with a wholesome atmosphere. They are not, if you open to them and give your honest feedback, you will be punished for it, I.E fired. I need to let you know, if you plan on working in the NOC you will not be on the data side. They have outsourced all their data work to two remote workers in India. Because of their lack of training material, if you are hired for the evening shift, you will have to work on the day shift for about four months first. They will not tell you this. They hired me to work on SD-WAN, or I thought due to my CCNP, I never once touched on a data issue... You will be working on: call path delivery, advanced inbound/outbound VOIP issues, and building DIDs in SBCs. Lastly, the senior director of the NOC at Onestream Networks has recently left the company. As well as the senior director of the NOC on Call Tower side has left... The gentlemen still working the NOC at Onestream Networks are legacy telecom workers that are disrespectful, agitated, and downright just hard to work with.

Pros

CEO cares about us. During the horrible year that was 2020, our CEO showed he cared by promoting causes important to a lot if not most of us. He immediately sent us all home at the beginning of COVID even though I know WFH is not his favorite idea. :) He guided us with facts and kept us grounded by not blowing things out of proportion. He sent us funny videos and started a voluntary weekly call where people could get together and still feel like a family. He was in a constant state of updating us on the status of our building and when we could all be together again-namely-when it was safe to do so. He led with strength and courage and it really showed me that he cared for us. This alone is a great reason to work for Calltower, but others are: fair pay, great benefits package including time off for maternity/paternity leave, fun and capable people who stick around for the long haul, training opportunities that most companies this size can't come close to, a company that gives you the flexibility and autonomy to help the customer as much as possible.

Cons

Communication between teams is lacking. Overlapping in job responsibilities makes things confusing (such as another team telling you to do something that is clearly their job function, and you end up having to do it anyway, cause-well, the customer.
