Pros

Although incredibly busy, due to the owner/manager's viewpoint of how work is to be done...You are thrown into the fire of work pretty quickly without much actual training or guidance. This does help those who can stand this type of pressure and quickly gain experience in knowledge. Offers great benefits, however you will be incredibly lucky if you ever get to actually use any of them.

Cons

Offers Salary, Insurance, Bonuses, "Liberal PTO, however Salary only pays 40 Hours, though it's pretty much guaranteed to work a minimum of 50. Bonuses are always a game rigged to make you lose or work a lot for a little, in order to get a bonus you'll end up working 60+ hours but the bonus only adds up to an additional 5 hours of work. PTO is given from January to December. However you lose it in December if you havent used it yet, and good luck with having any time off approved. There is always an excuse as to why you cant take off no matter the reason. Even when you do get lucky enough that he will approve it, be prepared to have your vacation interrupted by phone calls and being asked to work while on PTO. Manager/Owner is quick to Hire and Fire. He will micromanage every employee, and when he gives you specific orders that end up causing more problems, he will blame you and others for his mistakes in guidance and leadership. There has been 5 different managers over a 2 year period. 2 of the 5 were never qualified to be managers, the other 3 were only ever there to be the owner's voice in what he wanted. They never were truly able to manage or lead the company the way they wanted to and it needed to be. They were simply made to carry out his orders without any benefit. 3 of the managers were promoted from lower positions, with no increase in pay, benefits, nothing.

Pros

The upper management is very engaged in seeing that their employees are doing well, both professionally and personally. The coworkers are great to work with, upper management provides feedback approprioprately and the atmosphere is very relaxed. And by that I mean, you're given free space to complete your work without the worry of micromanagement or unreachable expectations being silently assigned to you.

Cons

There are some areas/processes that can be improved to reach a higher productivity level, but there hasn't been time dedicated to improving them.

Pros

That title got me too. Work from anywhere is an amazing thing. You will learn a lot of MSP technology. You will sharpen your skills. Good bonus program. Challenging work. Good schedule. Standard benefits with nice PTO schedule.

Cons

Bonuses and expenses are not paid as promised or paid in a timely fashion. You may get laid off in a 45 second Teams call, while lower skilled/less tenured people will be kept with no explanation. You might go 2 years or more without a raise. If you dare complain you can expect to get written up.
