Pros

Benefits, good people wanting to do a great job

Cons

Want to work 18 to 20 hours a day? This company runs on a shoe string and management belittles people. They entice you with a decent salary, but when broken down based on hours worked, it's a farce.

No one should be expected to work 18 to 20 hours a day... or anything close to that. Micromanaging is inappropriate. We are in agreement that this needs to be addressed for those who are in this situation. Though I have no doubt you have good reason to be frustrated, I am certain 18+ hour days and micromanagement isn't an across-the-company theme. I encourage you to share your frustrations with your manager ... or your manager's manager... or if someone -- and ask for their help in addressing the situation. If you have no one else you are comfortable reaching out to, ping me.

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.
