Pros

Diverse working environment and able to work on a variety of different equipment,

Cons

Micromanaging ownership likes to publicly rebuke the service department. Ownership refuses to provide tools needed to work Ownership puts their personal wants above the needs of employees Lack of direction in ownership Poor wages and extremely expensive benefits compared to poor wage rates for required level of knowledge and expertise. Just a general lack of respect for the technical departments from ownership. Highly predatory anti-compete clause.

Hi and thanks for the feedback. We take all feedback seriously, both good and bad. It sounds like so much has changed since you left. Wow. Reading your review is a blast from the past in regards to how different our company has changed in the past two years. We started sending out surveys and listening more to our employees. Through that, we have moved 90% of our workforce remote, and have raised all wages to current National Averages. Prior we were only paying regional averages. But, yes, benefits are expensive! Even though we match the healthcare costs, we can't bring down the prices of Nationally standardized healthcare. I wish we could! We also promoted several employees into Management in their respective departments. That has helped identify trending needs within each department more quickly. So everyone has everything they could possibly need to do their jobs more efficiently and easily. Thanks again for your feedback. We do appreciate it. It's through feedback both internally and on the web that we can become an even better company!! We are always trying to get better.

We are a growth-oriented company. But we don't lie. We set proper expectations to employees and customers alike. I would address your comments about where we let you down, but I just don't see any. And Yes, unfortunately high turn-over is a burden in the IT industry due to burn out. However, I'm fortunate to say that our turnover has reduced since 2020 significantly, mostly due to our increased employee engagement and improved employee opportunity growth tracks. We take it personally when we receive comments about our company, both good or bad. And with that, we listen and are always trying to get better. Sorry we weren't a good fit for you. Thanks for your feedback.

Pros

Colleagues are great and try to keep morale up

Cons

everything else. These guys take in whatever client they can find. It doesn’t matter if they are a good for for the business or not. Dollar signs. This in turn causes clients to call in outraged when their complex issues aren’t resolved correctly and in a timely manner. Nothings ever the clients issue either, all must be the technician and if you mess up good enough they’ll fire you. No learning or growth here. The ceo constantly talks about his lengthy vacations, new toys, etc while not letting employees earn PTO for their first year and barely providing a livable wage to technicians. For lunch you get 30 minutes, but your colleagues will call you during that time. No worklife balance. The boundaries in this place are whack.

Thanks for your feedback, and I will try to address your comments as best as I can. First, and foremost, we are a business and must balance and address the needs of our shareholders, our customers, and also our employees. As a business, revenue drives the salaries of all our employees, and with a focus on growth, it allows us to pay more to our employees. But it appears that we let you down. We must have missed the signs that you were so unhappy here. If we had known, this could have turned out different for both of us. After reading this review, I feel that your job expectations and the job role you handled may have been different. And we must get better at that. We are all here to take care of complex IT issues for our client base. It sounds like you felt you weren't ready to handle the assigned tasks. I get it. It's on us. I feel that although you posted this review recently, you may have been gone for a while before your decided to write your review. In the past two years, we have developed and successfully implemented a training program where all of our employees are engaged with weekly or monthly recurring training and one-on-one sessions with their Supervisors. We also hired a training coordinator to build up the program, with raving reviews. I agree 100% also with your PTO comment. We identified that need through feedback from our employees and are actively working with our PEO to make those changes. That change should be finalized this Summer. I don't know quite how to address your comments about lunch. When COVID happened, we moved 90% of our workforce to remote positions and decided to continue with a nationally distributed workforce. Most of our staff takes lunch when they want. And we understand when someone prefers a longer lunch break. I also find it hard to identify the lack of a work/life balance, as you commented. We spent countless hours developing this company for just that: work/life balance. Everyone works a 40 hour week with weekends off. We do have a rotating on-call schedule, but that only comes around every so often. In the world of IT Support, it's very hard to find an IT job where you get your weekends off. We provide just that. But I do understand your frustration. It seems that since your departure, but before your post, we have already addressed our failures, which you pointed out here, and implemented improvements. Thanks again for your feedback. We super appreciate your candor, and we will always, always try to do better. But we are sorry we failed you.
