COMPANY AND CULTURE

If you're interested in changing the way Internet is being delivered, here is your opportunity to join Chicago's fastest growing Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Using the most advanced microwave and fiber-optic technology, EW has disrupted the status quo in the ISP space by providing customers with a superior Internet experience, all-the-way-around. Internet consumers have historically felt trapped by the "big telecom providers" with no other option but to accept poor customer service, slow Internet speeds, incessant service outages and high, always-increasing pricing. Everywhere Wireless customers have not been shy about letting the world know how much they love the service and company - via Yelp and Google.

Everywhere Wireless represents an ideal place to work, if you have a strong work ethic, an entrepreneurial spirit, you're a doer and you have a common-sensed approach to business. The company values initiative in its culture and rewards employees that consistently exceed goals, objectives and expectations. EW is headquartered in the West Loop technology hub within easy walking distance to the CTA, Michelin-rated restaurants, entertainment venues and the Fulton Market District, along with Groupon, Echo, Belly, Jump Trading, Lightbank and many other fast growing technology companies. The company is heavily involved with the Chicago community and its respective neighborhoods, ranging from participation in charity events to non-profit volunteer work to supplying many of Chicago's beaches and parks with free Wi-Fi through its partnership with the City of Chicago.
