SGS Towers

This company is owned by workers.  The owners have done and still do every single job that is performed for their company.  They trained everyone and it goes down the chain, setting up each new individual for success.  This is an engineering firm that provides multiple services in the telecommunication industry.  From rigging plans and engineering drawings to telecommunication tower post modification inspections and pre modification mappings, they do it all.  SGS Towers takes their safety program very seriously and are an industry leader in safety compliance and innovations.  There is a new pay structure and advancement program that provides cross-over for office and field work training as well as management advancement opportunities.  If you work hard in this company they will take care of you.  This is a growing company that has already created much success for itself and will continue to do so and expand into the future.

At SGS Towers, I came in expecting a clear path to a management role, as promised during hiring. Instead, I found myself overworked and unsupported in a chaotic, disorganized environment. The reality didn’t match what I was told — there was no real structure or opportunity for growth, and the management promises turned out to be empty. I had to teach myself how to use Resa 3D and other critical systems just to keep up, with little to no guidance or training. My days were filled with backlogged work, unrealistic expectations, and constant pressure in a toxic atmosphere. Despite that, I remained committed and pushed through, gaining valuable technical experience and becoming highly self-sufficient. But ultimately, it became clear that the environment was unsustainable and not aligned with my professional values or goals. Leaving was necessary to protect my well-being and seek a workplace built on integrity, growth, and mutual respect.

Worked here for over a year, never received a second of training from anyone. Was constantly told what I was doing was wrong but instead of teaching me to fix it they just took my work and fixed it themselves so I never learned anything. Wait times for answers to emails was in the weeks, even if sending follow up emails daily. Red lines on projects were usually just "fix it" with no indication of what was wrong. Often times given drawings for models that don't pass, wasting significant time which is then held against you when you miss a deadline, even if the project engineer didn't give you the information to draw until 2 days after the deadline. 
Typical work day involved asking for work and never receiving anything to do.

It started out from humble beginnings, but still needs a bit of fine tuning with pay and benefits. Expect long hours and slight disorganization, but they're constantly working hard on it, since the company is split up in multiple locations. 

You'll work directly under the VP of the company and honestly, the environment is the best part of the job. He's relaxed to an extent but also he will educate you not only about the job, but outside the job too. 

I would've stayed but the pay was hard to live on with a family.

SGS has provided me with a ton of opportunity to grow professionally and develop a valuable skill set in management. There have been several opportunities that i would have not had working in my previous line of work; achieving globally recognized certifications, traveling to various locations across the country to assist in field inspection operations and being able to be part of company that is very much like a family. 

Worked there for 2 years doing inspections. Never got a raise. Never got word about advancement. Just bill the contracts and keep your head down. The job itself is also very demanding so even on “off days” you’re either doing reports or shipping equipment around the country. The managers are unorganized and extremely laissez-faire, which results in the field technicians getting gaslighted. The travel is fun, but there’s no time to stop and smell the roses.

When it’s good it’s great but when it’s bad it’s terrible. Don’t get on anyone bad side. Just play your role and you can be set. If you do mess up, hopefully it isn’t that bad… They will not hesitate to let you go. They like THEIR guys… so losing a new employee wouldn’t matter to them. They lack patience. A bit unorganized with the scheduling.They will have you home when they say they will. The pay is great, for the amount of hours you’d be getting. Not everyone is a snake, but most of them are… on the tower side and in the office. 

My time here was great. Slightly underpaid per market value but the fri ge benefits are where it’s at for sure. The work load can be heavy at times and the travel both rigorous and exhausting but you can’t beat the scenery. I would still be here if not for some personal family stuff. Great team of guys…best I’ve worked with hands down!! 10/10 would do again!!

This company seems to struggle finding itself in its own industry.

There tends to be a pattern of high workload and low recognition of effort. They have fantastic people working there but are stressed due to low compensation and sub par benifits which promotes some turnover rate in the company. 

Positive work environment but communication issues between departments.

As a tower professional with years of experience, working in the field at SGS towers was a big waste of time. Most other field technicians are not even rescue trained. The management for this company is so disconnected to the field tech communication can be very difficult on a daily basis. The worst part of it all is the pay is weak with zero incentive bonuses. Don’t waste you’re time here.
