      Pros

      Can be with this company a long time until execs decide your presence is inconvenient or they can protect their own positions by sacrificing yours.

      Cons

      Absolutely no loyalty whatsoever to their employees regardless of years of service. The corporate management that has been in place for the last few years has shifted a once admired and highly respected company to to the level of of a street corner shell game hustle. Play by the rules unless forecasts are in jeopardy then anything goes on the books too make a buck and look better on the surface to monitoring groups.

      I acknowledge your comments regarding your time at SBA. Although our company has been around for many years, two of SBA's goals is to provide more training and to be more innovative, using up-to-date data and proven methods. To achieve that, team members need to feel they are understood, which unfortunately was not your experience. However, you express your concerns with a negative, critical tone that does not ideally lend itself to resolving issues. The challenges you faced with management are not a fair and objective assessment of our company, as many team members have very positive experiences. If you have any questions you would like to discuss, please, feel free to contact me; my contact information follows.

      Too much stress and workload!!

      Pros

      Most people are nice and good to work with

      Cons

      Management has no backbone. They will not back you up when push comes to shove, even if you are right. Work 16 hours a day and still feel behind due to lack of help No appreciation when you get things done, but will ream you a new one if you screw up just the slightest bit Pay is not worth the time and stress you have to deal with, probably one of the lowest paying Telecom Construction Super's pay out there Expected to answer phone and e-mails all the time, even when on vacation!

      Thank you for taking the time to provide your comments and feedback, but they do not reflect SBA's mission and vision. Though there is plenty of work to be done, one of our commitments is to promote team-player mindset, helping one another. To grow, team members need to feel they are being heard, which distressingly was not your experience. However, you express your concerns with an unfavorable tone that does not ideally lend itself to resolving issues. Your complaints are insulting and skewed -- not a fair and objective assessment of our company, as many team members are able to manage the workload and have favorable, positive experiences. If you have any questions you would like to discuss, please, feel free to contact me; my contact information follows.

      Not honest with regional employees

      Pros

      The people in my office were terrific. Too bad mostly everyone was let go for various revenue related reasons.

      Cons

      As you may notice all the good reviews are recent and come from the corporate office in Boca Raton (HR stunt?). The regional offices struggle under poor management, backstabbing, and lies from upper management. I am sad because SBA really disappointed me.

      I appreciate your comments regarding your time at SBA. The challenges you faced with HR are not a fair and objective assessment of our company, as many team members have very positive experiences. Trust is another component that is essential to the team’s success. However, you express your concerns with a negative criticism that does not ideally lend itself to resolving issues. All feedback is valuable to us and it is welcome, because it allows our company the opportunity to make improvements to our culture.
