Leadership promotes “being real” and transparent but they really are not. Company conversation answers are pretty vague in my opinion. For example someone asked Jay if it was true about the rumors of a new office building. He flat out said no but if there was he would let us know. A few months later there was an announcement about it. I feel like Jay could have said it’s something they are looking into but decisions have not been finalized. It’s hard to trust what they say is real or political answers.
Mid level managers get there by befriending higher leadership personnel although they lack leadership qualities. No mentoring or care for direct reports.
Crown says it’s proud of its culture but it’s like a sinking ship. Sadly no diversity! If anything there will be teams of all whites and one minority’s race just to say “we are diverse”. When asked about diversity Jay said Laura Nichol makes their executive team diverse (all white males with one white female.)
Pay is not transparent. Employees are slowly finding out the compensation, bonus and PTO varies even though same position and work load are the same. Makes us feel unappreciated and cheated.
No flexibility. Crown Castle does not trust employees to work from home at least once a week. Only certain people of course can work from home some days of the week, week of holidays, leave home early on Friday’s, etc. Exempts get away with not using PTO until it’s the end of year and use it all during holidays.
Christmas Eve is not a holiday. Does not allow me to spend time with my family who IS off during this holiday. I was told to utilize my PTO although I am at the lowest rate of PTO and have to ration my time off during the year for personal sick days, daughters sick days, family vacations. Religious holidays, etc. While others with less experience are accruing at the max rate and like I mentioned before can get away with not tracking PTO properly.
