Pros

Okay salary and WFH if you choose to

Cons

If you're considering working here, ask yourself one thing, are you friends with the CMO or their inner circle? Because that seems to be the only qualification that matters. This company has become a web of cronyism. Competent, high performing employees are being laid off without warning and replaced by personal/home town friends of leadership. This isn't isolated. It's a pattern. Contractors with ties to execs are being promoted into full time leadership. Hand picked personal friends of the CMO are stepping into VP/Director roles after previous employees are fired! People with minimal experience, barely out of entry level roles are moved several steps ahead. It's blatant favoritism. There's no structure, no process, no logic. Everyone sees it. people talk and no ones fooled by now these moves are being made. They keep hiring people just to lay them off a year later with no explanation. It's not just unstable. it's irresponsible of marketing leadership team to keep hiring and firing at this rate. it's a clear sign that their decision making is poor and the department is being mismanaged.

Pros

Great opportunity for someone right out of college or looking to break into the channel industry. While the compensation is on the lower side, the exposure and vendor connections you’ll build can open doors to higher-paying roles especially with vendors down the line. The owners are very nice and caring people.

Cons

The TSD space remains heavily rooted in telecom, which shows up clearly in both the partner base and the broader culture. There are persistent concerns around favoritism in recent promotions, and the feedback regarding nepotism is well-founded. There are also gaps within parts of the senior and middle leadership teams, particularly around the level of experience and professionalism typically expected at that stage. This can lead to inconsistent decision-making and, at times, reduced confidence across teams. In addition, there’s a noticeable pattern among many employees with 5+ years of tenure who appear overly comfortable in roles that lack challenge, rather than pushing for growth or pursuing larger opportunities. Meanwhile, top performers tend to move on earlier, often drawn by stronger compensation and more compelling opportunities elsewhere..
