Pros

It is a great place to learn the ropes of the solutions integrator/var business. There is potential to do well within the organization and make decent money, not great but decent.

Cons

Leadership has transitioned from people who carried a bag to guys that have MBAs and think they know what it takes to sell. They have very quickly devolved into management by spreadsheet. They recently did a RIF that involved roles across the board. The sale people were let go under the guise of under performance therefore they were not part of the RIF nor the severance packages. They only offered severance to non-sales related roles.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
