Pros

Solid benefits. Keep busy. Good coworkers.

Cons

Hard to advance. Work life balance more difficult for some than other (that needs to shift). Politics. Some unqualified people in important roles.

Thanks for your review. I see you have the impression that it is hard to advance and that others who are unqualified are getting promoted too easily. The company is growing and we are looking for individuals who are able to take leadership roles. Given the amount of growth, we don't always promote the right people into the right spots at the right time. We error on the side of those who are more ambitious, more comfortable with change, and more apt to learn across disciplines. We move people around a fair amount to develop people with a better end-to-end understanding of the business. This stretches people into certain roles but over time makes them better across responsibilities. I'm sorry you feel like you are not getting proper recognition. Don't give up. Engage in open conversation with your management and others. The opportunities are there -- I hope you find the ones that work best for you. Good luck.

Pros

Excellent sales enablement, tools, and internal support. Leadership has done a good job creating an environment where Enterprise Account Executives can focus on selling instead of getting bogged down by administrative tasks. CRM data is clean, processes are organized, and responsibilities between Sales, Customer Success, and Account Management are clearly defined. It’s refreshing to work for a company that invests in the systems and structure needed to help its sales teams succeed.

Cons

Ongoing integration efforts following the Crown Castle Fiber acquisition mean some processes and systems are still evolving. As with most enterprise sales roles, building pipeline requires significant self-sourcing and prospecting across a large territory. The product portfolio is extensive, which creates a bit of a learning curve for new hires but also provides opportunities to solve complex customer challenges.
