Pros
CCI is involved in all aspects of the telecom industry (design and engineering, sales of networking equipment, construction, service provider, and contact center). In my experience, the ability to grow within the organization is a big advantage over other companies I’ve worked at. Most coworkers are inviting and helpful. Health benefits are great, being part of an ESOP company also motivates vested employees to do their best each day. Opportunities to learn and gain certifications in related fields. The ability to work remote is a huge benefit.
Cons
Compensation is usually lower than industry standards. While the cost of living in the Midwest is typically lower than other areas, competing companies offer higher wages and remote work.
