Pros

There is a great opportunity to learn many aspects of the tower business, and American Tower has a wealth of resources to help you.

Cons

1. Compensation for Sales isn't aligned with company goals, and OTE, is low by many standards. 2. There is often no sense of urgency internally unless you escalate to the highest levels. 3. Everyone looks to the TMBD to sell, provide forecasts, develop relationships across the industry, resolve internal process issues, and generally be "where the buck stops," until it comes to compensation and recognition. It's as if the upper management still has no clear understanding of what is required of the role and the level of knowledge it takes to get through the day. As a result, turnover in this position has been very high. I've never worked so hard to make so little.

Pros

Overall, it’s not the worst place to work, but there are several shortcomings the company needs to address. The biggest positive is the people — about 95% of the team was great to work with and genuinely trying to do their best for the company and for themselves. The 401(k) match is strong, though it does require several years of employment before fully vesting. The overall benefits package is average — not exceptional, but generally decent.

Cons

Below‑market compensation and less‑than‑desirable annual raises and bonuses. Increases at the time of promotions were often limited due to a lack of employee leverage. Long‑term employees were not brought up to market rates, while new hires frequently came in earning more than those with tenure and proven performance. Subpar HR team — they are focused solely on protecting the company rather than supporting employees. Unfair practices regarding hybrid and remote schedules. Many employees are allowed to work remotely while the company preaches to the rest that remote work is not an option. Even individuals on the same team or within the same department are given different arrangements. Senior staff are often granted privileges that their direct reports are denied. They heavily preach cost‑cutting, yet allow certain teams to be wasteful and fund perks or community engagement events that fall short of their goals and misuse resources.
