SQUAN

The majority of my co-workers were great, but management is a joke. The place was completely disfunctional compared to any place that I had worked before. There were no apparent standards or order to the way that things were done. Three people were fired within about a month of one another immediately after either contracting Covid or having to quarantine for coming into contact with someone who had tested positive. They gave other reasons but that seemed awfully suspicious and a little too consistent to be a coincidence. I know one person was fired and some of the supposed reasons were things that had never been brought to their attention to try to correct and some that were just impossible to have even been this person’s fault. And in the end, refused to pay this person for the last week that they worked.

In my experience, the company struggled with organization and clear expectations, which made it hard to do quality work consistently. Management often gave conflicting directions and changed priorities without much notice, leading to stressful, reactive days rather than planned work.

The office culture in my location felt political, with clear favorites and uneven treatment between employees, which hurt morale and made it uncomfortable to speak up. Training and SOPs for my role were limited and inconsistent, so a lot of time was spent guessing instead of following a clear process.

On the positive side, the telecom work itself can be interesting and you can learn industry tools if you are self-directed. Overall, though, anyone considering this office should be prepared for a disorganized environment, unclear communication, and to advocate for themselves constantly.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing. Horrible experience. They expect you to know company procedure without training.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They are very very highly disorganized. They insisted you travel and you had to share a room with a coworker. You can show up to work on Monday and next thing you know you're asked to travel meaning you had to go back home and pack a suitcase with no prior communication. High demand but little to no compensation.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very disorganized. The rate of people leaving was very high so they were always hiring. All they needed to do was fix the management.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and back breaking with little compensation.

Working for Squan is a joke.   Hired to be a Senior Project Coordinator but only ever uploaded old invoices to jobs because the suck ups wouldn't  complete their task and were allowed to put off until there were new hires.   Was placed in a desk away from the team,  continually had database issues in getting what I supposedly needed to perform my job.   Was left out of team meeting and not considered part of the team.   Son got Covid and I was out for a week I was written up and not allowed to take time off.   Son relapsed with Covid and was let go from the company.   Management is very uncaring to your family situation unless you are their family, best friend,  or a suck up.   I wouldn't recommend working with Squan ever. 

I’m incredibly impressed by the strength and vision of our executive leadership team and their ability to position SQUAN for success across every facet of the telecom industry. The drive to secure new opportunities and strategic partnerships is constant, and the path for career advancement is clear and attainable. If you’re a motivated, team-oriented professional looking to grow with a company that truly values hard work and dedication, take a serious look at what SQUAN has to offer.

The company Squan is absolutely all over the place. They are opening up too many locations at once and don’t have the personnel to staff any of them. They throw every employee to the wolves with almost no training. There is no programs available or anyone to guid you to become successful. Making it impossible to succeed in field. The expectations are unrealistic. Each person is filling in for other positions that have not been filled. The work environment is hostile and extremely unprofessional. By far the worst company I have ever worked for.

  Wonderful, caring culture that lets employees stretch into new roles and grow as people.  Squans technology platform is excellent and they are winning new customers al l the time because they understand customer needs and push that knowledge to the construction and engineering professionals in the field. 

This company is a complete joke, I’ve done line work for multiple company’s and this is by far the worst company I’ve ever been involved with, management is terrible and unorganized the work is all over the place with deadlines that are incredibly far fetched which set you up for failure. Between the un-organization and the high school drama you’re dealing with on a daily basis even from general formans and project managers and don’t let me get started on completely shorting paycheck after paycheck on production pay. All in all just don’t work here it’s awful, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

I've had a positive experience working here overall. The work environment is supportive, and leadership is genuinely understanding and approachable. The company culture encourages collaboration, and you can tell the C-suite is passionate—they bring big ideas and a strong vision for the future.

That said, the execution can sometimes fall short. Organizational processes aren't always clearly defined, and there can be moments where things feel a bit scattered. The ambition is there, but the structure to bring those ideas fully to life is still developing.

Upper management is unsupportive. The company stacks payroll with overpaid upper level management positions that essentially have no real job function. All they do is forward customer questions, concerns or issues to the lower level employees that are underpaid and overworked to handle themselves. Hard working employees are never recognized for their efforts and the only people that seem to get promotions or pay raises are the do-nothing upper management positions. Management is disorganized and incompetent. There are much greener pastures than this heap o' garbage.
