Pros

Each month they have an All Hands Call and Happy Hour at each office and monthly contests for team morale. They also provide healthy snacks

Cons

Their moto is "Do What You Say You Will Do", and they don't. They expect their sales reps to go out and sell a fiber network, they don't have. I was brought in to sell their fiber services in 2019 and shown a map with a timeframe of where their fiber would be and when the areas were to be installed. Over a year later and their fiber is still not turned up. I'm not sure how they expect to sales reps to sell something we don't have. Then the sales reps are getting fired or quitting because they can't produce sales. They have no loyalty to the ones who are trying to sell .

Pros

I wouldn't say there are any.

Cons

Poor overall Sr. leadership, limited network presence, inadequate initial training, marginal benefits and limited career options. If this sounds like a company you'd like to work for then apply. Otherwise AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS!!!!

Pros

Everstream forced us to be in the office during the height of the pandemic but generously reimbursed almost 2/3 of my monthly parking expenses! There were also a few bright and talented people on the team, though I imagine they've all moved on to better opportunities by now.

Cons

Just about everything. The CEO while I worked at Everstream, Brett Lindsey, seemed like such a lowlife. In my opinion his only goal was to drive up the valuation of the company so he could sell it and cash out. He and his female underling (I can't even remember her name) creeped me out. A lot of people frequently talked about them having an affair though I'm not aware of it ever being proven. I understand Everstream finally gave Brett the boot after I left which was certainly a step in the right direction. Apparently there have been a couple more CEOs since then. It's important to note that I didn't willingly join the company. I was part of the Rocket Fiber acquisition. That's what Everstream does - they buy other smaller ISPs for their fiber assets and keep a few key acquired personnel then gradually get rid of the rest over time. There were about 90 of us at Rocket Fiber when Everstream acquired us, and within the short time that I stayed, only six or seven former Rocket Fiber employees remained. I was forced to accept a significant pay cut and take on more responsibilities in order to keep my job so I set about looking for something better as soon as the sale closed. If you are working for a company that gets sold to Everstream, do not believe any of the lies your management or Everstream's will tell you about keeping staff. All they want is your fiber and your commercial customers (existing residential customers will probably get peddled off to Brett Lindsey's side hustle ISP called Snip for pennies on the dollar). As for the job, it was boring compared to Rocket Fiber. I came in, tried to find something to keep me busy during my shift, then went home. Brett Lindsey was vehemently opposed to remote work and as a result we were forced to report to the office during the pandemic even though local government ordered us to shelter in place at home. The kicker is that my role involved remotely managing network gear anyway, so it was utterly pointless for me and my department to be in the office. Everstream's cheap monthly parking stipend only covered about 2/3 of what it cost to park my car in a covered garage that wasn't a mile away from the office. I believe my salary was nowhere near market value. I made about 30% less at Everstream than I did at my previous job, even though I had less responsibility at the previous job and I could work from home three days a week there. Aside from Brett, the rest of the management team that I interacted with seemed like decent enough people but were hopelessly disorganized. Projects were never assigned, it was always more of a "find something to do" type situation for me. That may have improved though because I think all of the managers I worked with have been let go since I resigned. I guess turnover is fairly high at the company. If you're just starting out in the telecom field and need a place that'll hire anyone with a pulse, Everstream might be a good choice to get some experience for your resume for a while. If you're an industry veteran though, I highly recommend looking elsewhere.
