American Tower Reviews

Pros

American Tower is a great company to work for. I have never worked at a place where you can trust leadership to do the right thing all of the time, this is the case at ATC. I also believe that American Tower takes care of its people and puts people first in all decisions. The culture is really a positive solution based culture. If you have a positive attitude and a solution based mindset you will do well at ATC.

Cons

ATC is a little bit old school in some of its policies around flex schedules and working from home. Its benefits are very strong though and half day summer Fridays were introduced over the last few summers which is a great start.

Advice to Management

Consider how to introduce more flexibility for those who need and are interested but otherwise keep doing what you are doing!

Pros

Amazing benefits package. Never found better PTO offerings. Work-life balance isn't the worst depending on the department you work in. HR team can be helpful at times.

Cons

Cut-throat, often hostile work environment. Internal processes go in a cycle every 3-5 years. I've yet to see anything revolutionary. Little room for advancement. Cost of living raise is a joke. A Telecommunications company that is not ok with telecommuting - Irony or coincidence?

Advice to Management

Listen to your employees. Especially those who have been with the company for a while.

Advice to Management

good management, only small improvements needed

Pros

Well organized, the stock plan vs market value of shares is money in the bank, straightforward client base

Cons

Nepotism, salaries / bonus structure do not match the market, inflexible with employees and clients

Advice to Management

The APMs do all the work, but Sales gets the bonus... didn’t make sense to me.

Pros

Close to home new office, they say they want to change

Cons

Managment, political environment, not enough space to describe here

Advice to Management

When you say you want to change, make the change, dont just say, walk the talk!

Pros

Extremely collaborative and team oriented. Great Pay

Cons

Zero downsides working at this corporation

Pros

Financially strong, fair benefits, and good co-workers.

Cons

Felt I was lied to, I was told “work life balance is an option! No work life balance, always on the clock, unrealistic deadlines, horrible building in Woburn and rude upper management. Can’t work from home or leave a bit early for an appointment, while management come to work as they please. Pay is low for the amount of work, must work some weekend, holidays and nights. Can’t use PTO because it’s forbidden in some departments....

Advice to Management

Look into upper management and how they suck up resources, they don’t work full day or week. Implement a work from home policy or some sort of flex environment. Stop them the employee burnouts, have town halls and listen to the frustrations!
