Pros

A fully loaded pantry with snacks for just about anyone

Cons

The company brags about itself being one of the best MSPs for medical clients and while that may be partially true, they treat their employees like absolute garbage. They don't hide the fact that they value their employees and reward them based on metrics rather than actual quality of service. Doesn't it seem odd that the same people are always winning performance awards? Well yeah, but yet again they're the same ones milking clients for tickets; every minor question will be turned into a ticket, all pointless bragging rights about ticket closures. While new hires have to start from the bottom, there's no clear way for them to advance. Team leads lack leadership and responsibility for their own team. Often times instead of leading new hires in the right direction, they'll get a very sarcastic answer instead of actual help. The CEO/owner brother and brother combo leads to a very hostile frat house environment. Favoritism is clearly a huge part of Medius culture which leads many to feel left out. If you even dare to question something on a higher level going on within the company, you'll get let go for whatever petty reason they can come up with. While the company is busy gobbling up other MSPs to try and better itself, it fails to do so internally. One fun thing to do is to go onto the companies Facebook page and look at the images they post to try and make their work environment seem fun, pay attention to how many different people you see. Why? Because they can't keep employees happy and no employee is "perfect" enough for them. Don't believe the other positive reviews as it is an open secret that there may be some fun incentives for leaving positive reviews on Glassdoor. The salary offered is extremely weak given the market and area. Most people are making very much below living wage. You'll be appalled at the language used during meetings or conference calls, very immature behavior from higher ups.

Thank you for your candor and perception of our organization. Our team is the driving force behind our success; therefore, we take all reviews very seriously and appreciate feedback to better improve as we continue to grow. With fast growth companies such as MIT, growing pains do exist and we do our best as an organization to alleviate those pain points as quickly as possible. Many of the expressed con’s in your review can be attributed to fast growth and we have addressed most of your statements over the years. Since this is a public review, we felt prudent to provide some supporting information and additional context on where we are today. Our foundations in 2017 were immature from an organizational structure, as are most mom and pop businesses in the beginning. Originally, we began as a 25-person company (in 2017) that has since expanded to a 130+ person organization today; some of that growth is organic and some of that growth is through acquisition. The rapid growth in 2019 (3 acquisitions in quick succession) did create some growing challenges, specifically integrating various organizations and putting the right team member(s) in the correct position(s). Part of this transition process allowed us the opportunity to hire some outside talent with experience to drive the organization forward and identify team members that were not able to adapt to the MIT vision and culture. In addition, we have developed a training plan for our management team within MIT as part of our accountability initiatives. This training plan is ongoing and revamped regularly as learning opportunities arise. We recognize that our team is not perfect; our goal is to continue to develop leaders and bring in the right talent for our team. The leadership team today consists of twelve individuals with over 100 years of MSP experience. Feedback – from current and former team members – is important for us to continue to improve as a team. We request associates to complete and provide feedback weekly through our associate communication platform (15Five) so that weekly wins can be celebrated, and weekly challenges can be addressed quickly. This feedback is visible to each associate's manager and up the org chart within the reporting structure, visible to human resources, provides the opportunity to challenge the status quo, and helps shape the culture and policies of MIT. Associate feedback is taken very seriously; reviewed and discussed weekly in the executive meeting. Every week we customize a different question to solicit input from associates on an array of topics to determine how we can elevate as an organization. We are disheartened to see we somehow failed you as a former employee, who did not feel that your concerns or voice were heard or addressed. MIT also provides other avenues for team members to express their thoughts such as our good idea box. Good ideas can be provided through a good idea form we have public to all associates. All ideas are reviewed quarterly by our Executive Team and the winner of each quarter receives a $250 gift card. No matter how big or small the idea is - we are looking at the overall impact that the idea creates. Much of our policy revisions, broken process resolutions, and employee engagement ideas are received and implemented through these avenues. The review states that 'every minor question will be turned into a ticket.' This is accurate today; all customer requests need an individual service ticket # assigned. Communication and visibility among all team members limits internal frustrations and provides better external client support. Past history proves that client questions without ticket generation can be misconstrued or unaddressed. To further drive individual success and growth, every team member is provided a development plan of the specific items required to advance within the organization, typically within their first six months of employment. MIT has never incentivized employees with anything to leave reviews on Glassdoor. From the service team perspective, the service delivery team is not "incentiviz[ed] on ticket closures." Ticket closures were one component of service awards several years ago. With associate feedback, this was enhanced, and today all service delivery members are measured on the following: • Client Satisfaction • Service Level Agreement (SLA) - our response and resolution times • Billable utilization - the amount of time working on client issues • Net Promoter Score (NPS) - what our clients think of MIT as a whole and would they refer us We have made many changes in recent years to provide a more diverse and inclusive environment where clarity of advancement and learning is paramount. We are also aware there is always room for improvement. If comfortable, we encourage the author of this post to reach out to our Director of Service Delivery, Head of HR or our CEO directly so that we can gain further insights on where our opportunities for improvement lie.

Pros

- Fully stocked kitchen (snacks+drinks) and occasional catered meals - Opportunities to learn both in office and on site - Good people to work with and learn from - Ok benefits

Cons

- Pay is under market value and promotions are inconsistent and lacking - High turnover with positions often not being filled for months - Any level 1 tech or helpdesk will be answering the phones all day every day. It is a call center job - Job descriptions claim opportunities for project work starting at level 1 but only level 2 and above will have actual opportunities and time allocated for them - Passing certifications are required for promotions but no time or study resources are provided by the company to do so. However, the test itself is reimbursed in full - Reimbursement for certifications are limited to ones pre-approved by management. Any routing/switching or specialized certification will not be entertained - WFH policy is based on client satisfaction surveys for the entire company. This maxes out at 8 but usually ends up being 4-5 days/month - The company is more focused on eating up smaller ones rather than rewarding their current and long term employees. Almost every department has high turnover while upper management has very little. You do the math. - Pay and benefit platforms change every year because 'it's cheaper' - Weekly required employee surveys often go unread and almost never significantly if ever acted upon

This is great feedback, and a very thorough assessment of what our organization was earlier this year. We can proudly say that much of your advice to management has already been implemented throughout MIT based on feedback and solution driven conversations of our current employees. Our 2021 strategy of recovery centered around re-evaluating how to better support our teams with a future goal of becoming a top 1% MSP in the country. To do this, we focused on our prior acquisitions, and what was needed to unify the teams. In Q2 we brought in a SVP of Service Delivery who has aided the restructuring of the department to identify subject matter experts at all technical levels and better utilize skillsets. We have added specialized departments within the Service Delivery structure to better service our clients while also creating specialized career paths for members of our team. In Q3 we launched our first office unification and have received incredible feedback from our service delivery team. The offices are able to partner together and share workloads, thus allowing our call queue to also be shared. We will continue to integrate our other offices in the coming months to better support our technical support teams. In Q4 we revamped our remote work policy, at the urging of our employee advisory council. The team did a great job navigating the complexities of remote work wishes and client support requirements! The majority of our employees are currently classified as “hybrid” allowing them to work remotely up to 3 days per week or “remote” allowing them to work remotely most of the year. We are in-process currently of completing a compensation analysis of our team based on geographic region to determine how we compete in our market as a small business technology company. We are anxious to review the data and determine if changes to our compensation structures should occur for 2022. MIT is dedicated to our employees. While some changes do take time to implement, we are listening to feedback and we are open to solutions that benefit our team while still supporting our business objectives.

Pros

Great team to work with.

Cons

Benefits weren’t great. Vacation was accumulated. Pay was way below market value Too many companies lose their 'star' employees because they don't reward them for being great. They make excuses for why a raise or promotion isn't possible "at this time". But as soon as the employee finds another offer, their attitude quickly changes.Remember this: Employees have options, too. If you don't take care of your employees, they will find another company that will.
