Pros

Healthcare Benefits and 401 (K)

Cons

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.

Pros

Great place to work. Although there has been a lot of change over the past few years, I feel the company is back on track. Culture has been dramatically improved.

Cons

Not much at this time. Still lots of change ahead though as the company transforms into a tower focused company.

Pros

Depending on who is running your team (I’ve had 3 different team leads in the 3 years that I’ve been a full time employee,) some have provided great mentoring, and have taught me a lot.

Cons

Job security is extremely unstable, and employees often feel like they are one decision away from becoming part of another layoff statistic. In my experience, women were not always treated equitably compared to their male counterparts, depending heavily on the leadership structure within the department. The company also showed limited willingness to accommodate health conditions, often searching for loopholes to minimize support, assistance, or benefits during times when employees and their families needed them most. Leadership roles often felt transactional and tied directly to the company’s immediate operational goals. For example, when a department needed growth, leadership would bring in individuals with strong industry relationships, connections, and expertise to help expand profitability and establish the department. However, once those goals were achieved and the leader’s network or strategic value had been fully utilized, the company would frequently move on from them—either through reassignment or termination—in favor of the next person who fit the company’s evolving objectives. Overall, the culture created an environment where many employees felt expendable rather than valued long-term.
