      Pros

      On the surface, the mix of assets is strong (are the data centers sold yet?). CTLs main competitors, ATT & VZ, have shifted their focus to the wireless business, which opens the door for a sales professional selling WAN and telecom services.

      Cons

      Somewhere at the leadership level, the belief that poor employee treatment and the resulting low moral and high turnover is an acceptable cost of doing business. If you are in the CTL job today, it is not a great place to commit your energy and loyalty. and hundreds of people have voted with their feet.

      Pros

      Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

      Cons

      Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
