Pros

Generous benefits package, great healthcare, with lucrative RSU program.

Cons

Completely visionless leadership driven by unqualified and out of touch EMT and SLT. Priorities are constantly shifting and decisions are made poorly based on politics and egos. SLT reorgs every 2 years, with the same favored- yet incompetent- VPs and Directors and somehow expects different results. (2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022) Digital Transformation is failing. Operational improvements are never fully thought through or executed on because no one really wants to change how they do business and senior leadership cannot make rational decisions or prioritize. Senior leaders are rarely held accountable for their inadequacies. There are some exceptionally poisonous VPs in key improvement roles who are ruining the culture and progress for entire teams. Crown Castle is not a happy work place and morale has been steadily declining for years. Crown has become so toxic and unsatisfying to work at that tenured employees are leaving in droves, leaving behind the golden handcuffs in unvested RSU stocks and bonuses. It's not worth staying in such toxic environment to feel undervalued as a human and made ineffective because VP leadership just spins in circles and has for years.

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.
