Pros

Some of the people are nice Nice building Pay is sort of decent

Cons

If you're offered this company as a temporary worker, run away! Contractors with Crown Castle are an obvious second class citizen. Crown will have entire cookouts, and employee functions, and expect the temps to sit inside at their "desk" (we'll get to this...) while the regular employees go out and have a nice time. This company employs about 60% of their workforce as temps, AKA cheap labor. I would not expect to be hired on here full-time, no matter what your staffing agency tells you. Even if there is an opening in your department, the managers will not hire you. You may not even sit with your "team." While the rest of your team who are full time have nice new cubicles, the temps are stuffed onto a windowsill with no drawers. The temps may be all the way across the floor (or on another floor) from the rest of their team. Your manager may assign you a quota one day, and then chastise you for not making that quota the exact next day. For a company that prides itself on culture, the culture here is SERIOUSLY lacking. Crown has a wonderful way of making people feel like lesser professionals.

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.
