Pros

Trying to make it an enjoyable place to work. The CEO seems to be a nice person, but sometimes meddles in things he should not, the COO seems to be trying his best. Most of the people are good people in a bad situation. This company could be a great place to work... someday. Do some great things for their employees as far as insurance and benefits. Trying to help with some of the needs that we all have. Do a good job of trying to keep the moral up. Want to have happy employees. Have goals for everyone and want to have people that believe in that goal.

Cons

Have not figured out how to make it a functional place to work yet. Training was horrible and was ran by someone who does not have the ability to understand, or listen, and retired in their mind years ago. The policies and SLA's are convoluted and always changing, they need to be changed to a sound policy, then left alone until the customers and the employees know them. The simplest thing that the customer should understand at the very beginning is tiptoed around by sales to get the customer to buy, then management at certain levels just suck up rather than tell them technology doesn't work based on the customers feelings to get them to stay, the technicians are allowed to take verbal abuse and blame for something that has nothing to do with the technician to placate the customer. HR is done at another building... Supervisors sometimes work from home... Nepotism...

We do strive to build an healthy and productive work environment for our employees. The feedback we get from new employees is our benefits are very employee friendly with contribution to health savings account, matching 401k, wellness program as well as affordable medical insurance. We feel as that “someday” is today. In 2012, CallTower implemented a strict nepotism policy. It is not known if the reviewer was here prior to that date when there were some concerns, hence the policy. Company is very different today from 4 years ago or even a year ago. We are constantly growing, changing and out performing.

Pros

You can work remotely, but expect an intense workload with little to no breaks. The PMO keeps a tight grip on deadlines, and if you fall behind, expect direct repercussions.

Cons

TERRIBLE COMPANY. Be very cautious of five-star reviews titled "Great Company"—if they lack depth on why it's great, that's a red flag. This is a small, cult-like company where you're expected to memorize their playbook and read books that have nothing to do with your job. They obsess over personality tests instead of actual skills. Worst of all, they have little respect for your personal time and will let you go in an instant, not based on performance, but on your manager’s mood.
