Pros

The company has a laid back working environment. Everyone seems friendly and helpful, but only when it comes to work. The only time you will hear someone talk is when ever someone needs assistance on a project. Besides that the office is pretty much silent. If you do not like talking than this would be a company for you. Besides that the best part about this company is the free snacks in the break room.

Cons

The downside is the office is split into two sides. They separate the majority of the contractors on one side and the full time workers on the other side. This gives a bad vibe in the office and it is definitely something you can feel. The workers seem to have their own groups that they all hang out with on a regular. It is pretty difficult to really make yourself feel part of the company when these groups don't really welcome you. The room for growth here is close to none. If there is a job available it is already taken by somebody that the hiring manger has discussed with prior to the job being posted. The business is pretty much stagnant and I wouldn't be surprised if it were the same at any other telecom company. Funny because for a communications company this office does not talk at all. If you are someone who likes to do the same thing every single day in front of a computer than this is the job for you.

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.
