Pros

Used to have great culture, used to have great opportunities, used to have great leaders.

Cons

Shady treatment of employees, abandonment of the culture, no trust in employees, harassment cases that get swept under the rug to protect the favorites, no semblance of culture anymore. Everything I joined and loved this company for so many years ago I watched slip away. Hard to not draw a line back to business support a.k.a. HR. Once you compromise on your culture and sacrifice good people, it's all downhill from there. No upward mobility like there used to be. Favorites are played. DEI is laughable. I have watched dozens of good people leave or be pushed out because they actually stand for who we used to be - B3. You can't build a company on a certain set of ethics and guidelines and then suddenly turn against those who try to uphold those values. I am so hurt and disappointed at what this place has become. Unrecognizable.

Pros

Generous benefits package, great healthcare, with lucrative RSU program.

Cons

Completely visionless leadership driven by unqualified and out of touch EMT and SLT. Priorities are constantly shifting and decisions are made poorly based on politics and egos. SLT reorgs every 2 years, with the same favored- yet incompetent- VPs and Directors and somehow expects different results. (2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022) Digital Transformation is failing. Operational improvements are never fully thought through or executed on because no one really wants to change how they do business and senior leadership cannot make rational decisions or prioritize. Senior leaders are rarely held accountable for their inadequacies. There are some exceptionally poisonous VPs in key improvement roles who are ruining the culture and progress for entire teams. Crown Castle is not a happy work place and morale has been steadily declining for years. Crown has become so toxic and unsatisfying to work at that tenured employees are leaving in droves, leaving behind the golden handcuffs in unvested RSU stocks and bonuses. It's not worth staying in such toxic environment to feel undervalued as a human and made ineffective because VP leadership just spins in circles and has for years.

Pros

Great Benefits Very Secure People are generally very nice on a personal level

Cons

- Processes are horrible. People manage the milestones, not the actual projects - American Tower is performing much better as a company - Employees are not held accountable. - Lots of project managers focus on service revenue, not rental revenue. - LOTS of excuses are present throughout all levels of the company (its the customer's fault, its the jurisdiction's fault, its pick a department's fault) - Because the business model is so great, there is no sense of true urgency for change. Management has tried multiple projects but they never follow through 100% creating confusion among the workforce and not actually impacting the business) - Because of how complex and cumbersome the internal systems are, it can take while to promote. There is also no standardization. Different teams do the process differently throughout the country.
