Presidio Reviews

Training? What's that? They'll expect you to know certain products but won't spend the money to train you on that. Why? Maybe you haven't been utilized because you don't have competency on that product. It's a vicious cycle that management seems to not get nor will they try to break. One VAR I worked for spent thousands on training me, this company expects you to use free training that is usually outdated and not really deep. Procedures are not consistent. Sure there are efforts made to change but they're still using spreadsheets and an archaic version of Sharepoint for pricing rather than using cloud based solutions like SalesForce. Kinda scary as they want to help lead customers to the cloud when they really don't use cloud services themselves. Smaller VARs eating their lunch in most markets because they're more nimble and in some cases, probably have former Presidio employees working for them now. Marketing is near non existant as it seems they want vendors to pay for everything rather than spend a little money to make money. Good ol boy club. If you're not in certain inner circles, expect to be ignored. Everyone seems to be out for themselves than actually be a team. I've worked for VARs in the past where everyone is remote but you still had contact with team members including your boss on a weekly basis outside some mandatory meeting. It's like ships passing in the night. There's really no sense of culture here at all.

C-level folks are willfully ignorant of all activity below them. Most VPs are reckless and contribute to not only a hostile work environment, but also are wholly unqualified for the role they fulfill. Directors do just enough not to get fired. Managers are confused and scared. Staff is lethargic and have very little if any morale left. - No raises, ever - No incentives - ESPP is terrible because the company is barely competitive in the market(s) they target - Company travel policy requires you stay in the same hotel room as another co-worker unless you're VP or C-level (what?!). - Nepotism... everywhere - Software is unoriginal, barely functional, and technical services are poor and add no value - Help desk is an ironic joke - Disorganized at every level - Honest communication and feedback to senior management is discouraged and often punished, whether positive or negative. Think about that and see if your head doesn't explode - 401k matching and vesting is not competitive at all - No chance of promotion - The refrigerators all smell, just like the corporate culture here
