Pros

-Five Star is growing, bringing on lots of new clients; for a company that started in 2005, they've made quite a positive name for themselves -No micromanagement as an onsite technician -Broad exposure to a lot of different areas for entry-level people: networks, servers, wireless, phone system, and so on -Great people (depending on which site you work at); the TMS team really seems to get along well -$3,000 annual training bonus after your first year, and $500 the day you start -Company-provided shirts

Cons

-Low pay (MSP with public school clients...yeah, you're not going to make much...breaking $40k is tough to do) -Very, very little time off: 5 days after you finish your first year (no days your first year) -Can be a sink-or-swim environment if you aren't a techie; if you are a techie, you'll probably shine...lots of people who think they know what they're talking about, but don't

Pros

Great work/life balance. Management is very understanding, kind and flexible. Much of the company is made up of former teachers, so staff is compassionate and collaborative. Great company learning events.

Cons

Often start an initiative and then it falls off and never resumes. Lack of communication regarding quotas, metrics and targets. Some teams/departments are cliquey.
