Crown Castle reviews

Crown Castle used to care about their employees, you used to get promoted based off of what you know and how hard you work rather than who you know. Seniored employees are opting to retire early or leave because as long as you are friends with upper management or suck up to upper management, they will move you into management jobs whether you are qualified or not. I see so many qualified people that are being looked over and lied to because upper management already has someone in mind for positions that they are not qualified for. The advice to get ahead is to become friends with Directors and higher ups- MidWest Area is Well known for doing this . The company keeps taking away the reasons why people loved Crown to begin with. The bonus structure changed and not to our benefit, budget cuts makes the company no longer a work hard play hard meaning there are no rewards to your long days anymore. It used to be if you had an exceeds you would get a pay raise and be able to top out your bonus, they no longer do this and wonder why they score low on “ pay for performance” questions on the employee survey. You used to never hear of people wanting to leave or look elsewhere for employment and it’s way more common now than ever. They will not budge on working remotely although they are a telecommunications company. The office politics are just not worth it. To save money they are enforcing a do more with less structure meaning, they aren’t in a hiring freeze but you must really be struggling in order for them to backfill a position. Since they started doing this, there has been minimal movement in the company so when someone is just moved into a position without opening a job requisition, it’s noticeable. There is just not a lot of legitimate opportunities anymore.
