Pros

it is a place to learn and try new things on clients which you wouldn't be allowed to implement elsewhere.

Cons

Everything else. Don't work here... I was warned, but didn't listen.... now so are you, please listen! He tries to pay under federal minimum for travel because "that is how much he pays." Luckily he is now required to pay sick time, but its totally possible he will deduct sick time from PTO... Also if you need benefits, they are a joke! He promised a 401k and i had the paperwork in the first day. HR didn't know how to do it and he never paid anything in, in over a year. One more Lie from Tru Tech. Truman isn't technical, he doesn't understand terms, forgets what he said so always get everything in writing, he changes his mind constantly by what is cheapest not what is best practice, and blames employees for his mistakes. He will say that his employees "aren't the sharpest tool in the shed," which really makes you want to work hard. The workplace is homophobic and some of the emails/pictures other techs/Truman will send around are extremely offensive. "IT Management," is just the most senior person there not the most technical or skilled at management. Sales will sell things the technical staff can't provide/doesn't know how too do. Worst of all he LIES to customers and is quite dishonest; this practice shows in the declining client base. Having to lie to a client, for fear of loosing your job, makes for a BAD work environment.

Cheapest company I've ever worked for!

Pros

Its a stepping stone company and not much more! Some of the people were good people, some of the clients were fun to work with.

Cons

The owner is a very cheap person. He doesn't believe in sick pay or pay you for any time off. You get two weeks vacation a year TOTAL. But you do not earn any time off until after 90 days, which is complete and total BS. People worked that time and should have accrued time off. The clients are unhappy (and not shy about sharing it) because they see a new tech or "engineer" every other month because the turnover is so high. While most employers give their staff holiday days off, like day after thanksgiving, day after Christmas, the owner makes you come into the office and work, despite most of the companies clients being closed. I saw a tremendous amount of turnover and many under paid, under skilled workers (sold to clients as engineers) pass thru at a high rate.

Worst company, but wisdom gained

Pros

This place is one of those example companies one needs to experience in their lifetime to gain wisdom and discover that this is not how a business should operate and who NOT to be. Owner is super chummy during his interview with you and when offering a job, but turns around and treats you like his slaved peon soon after you're in. A job not for the long term, nor for the faint of heart. You gain experience and learn to be a better person in whatever career field..sales, marketing, IT. A stepping stone to something far better.

Cons

The owner promises sales people a monthly recurring revenue for contracts you bring in but within 3 months or less, he'll let you go, taking the business you bring in, so he doesn't have to pay the commission he initially promised.
