Pros

Stable company with good benefits and fair compensation. Very focused on obtaining new business, the customer, and leading the telecommunications industry

Cons

There are not any experience-based promotions in the company. All promotions or new job titles must be interviewed for, so if you take a job here, you could be in that role for years without any elevation in title or pay, despite your effort. You will also need to be prepared to have your role virtually shifted across time zones and work hours increased to meet customer needs and not be compensated. If you leave the company your benefits will end on your last day, not through the end of the month and you will have to pay back any tuition reimbursements as they will not pro rate or forgive. If you're looking for an opportunity to grow - look elsewhere

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.
