Pros

- A few very talented and hardworking teams within the company, however they are quickly disappearing. - Extensive fiber footprint in many lucrative markets across the U.S, sadly poor data quality makes properly utilizing this network very difficult.

Cons

- Salary consistently 20% to 30% below market value across the company. - Quarterly cash and stock bonus payouts consistently well below the expected 10% of base salary figure pitched when hired. - Raises are very lacking and usually lower than annual cost of living increase. - 12-14 hour workdays expected if you want to rise up in the company. Often the facade of sitting at your desk 12 hours a day trumps actually working and producing material gain for the company. - Regardless of position, expect to be overworked and stretched far too thin over too many responsibilities. - Mission, culture and values are completely at odds with the reality of the company. - Management does not have their employees best interests at heart. - When promotions occur, there is no increase in compensation. Just the expectation to accept more responsibility, workload for the same wage. - Very few opportunities to take earned PTO and very few company holidays. - Poor, poor data quality of fiber infrastructure databases.

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.
