Great organization to work for!

Pros

Varsity is an MSP so you get a ton of exposure to different technologies which keeps the job interesting. Amazing clients partially due to clients primarily being in non-profit/education/health sectors, but either way, almost all of the customers are truly a pleasure to get to support. Great staff that gives off a family vibe and lots of little perks (ie paid lunches for training sessions, regular snack food available, etc) Management is very transparent.

Cons

While listed as a pro above, the aspect of exposure to a lot of different technologies can be hectic at times and work is definitely very fast paced. Depending upon position, work/life balance can be challenging.

Pros

Good team filled with hardworking employees that get along across the various teams. Diversity is actually rampant, and they go out of their way to not hire "white guys" and look at women, people of color, and provide opportunities to those who wouldn't otherwise be able to get their foot in the door.

Cons

The company claims that they're in to education and training yet expect you to be the resident expert, and don't train you in ways other than how to utilize google to find answers and to solve problems. The new "Varsity way" has lost a significant amount of employees and clients; clearly it's not working. You never know if the axe is coming for you, and the culture is one of fear and a lack of security. Having an independent mind and expertise while expected, is actually not valued, and being a sheep is not enough either. The whole mentality of the management team is not of promoting and developing an employee while at Varsity but being a point in time of which they can be great for ANOTHER company. Which leads to seeing more employee turnover than the amount of employees actually AT the company. Camaraderie at Varsity is discouraged, yet a large majority of the former employees have a network of the "displaced" and have made friends post-trauma.; akin to surviving battle together.

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the input and sorry that you had a negative experience. I've head about folks feeling like they really have to work hard at Varsity and this isn't unique to us, although we need our share of improvements. We've heard this a lot from others in our industry. We need to and will do a better job of making it sustainable. As for our values and supporting people, i know first hand that the "talk" wasn't being converted into action. And i've seen that first hand and i'm proud to say that we are making great strides. A lot of people feel that we are finally making the kind of change in their role. From scheduling training time to having honest, supportive conversations. Its all hard and difficult to stay on top of as you evolve as a company, but we are very committed to our purpose and solving some of the issues you call out. Thanks again and I wish you the best of luck.

Pros

Varsity is a small, growing company focused on managed IT services for non-profit and educational organizations. I've been with Varsity for some time and I find it to be a great place to work. Listed below are things I value about working here. - Everyone who works at Varsity is good people. Everyone is willing help each other out. No one is a jerk here. From past jobs and hearing of other people's work experiences, this is a pretty valuable thing. - There are many opportunities to learn and further your IT career. You get exposed to a lot of different and emerging technologies. - Varsity invests in its employees growth. Management actively guides your professional development, wherever you want to take it. - It's very rewarding working with non-profits and education. I've met a lot of cool clients who do good for the community. It's become a point of pride when discussing my job with friends and new people I meet. - Management (and non-management) definitely appreciate the work you do here and will do what they can to show it. Those efforts will not go unnoticed. - The CEO is very transparent about the company and accessible to discuss pretty much anything that may be on your mind. This tells me he's absolutely committed to the employees. - It's a very dynamic working environment with new challenges every day. I suppose this can be a con too, but I see it as opportunity. It keeps things interesting. I used to work at a University and while that was super cushy, I felt like I needed to challenge myself and grow. Varsity has delivered that in spades. - Solid benefits package. - As a field tech I got to explore all of the Bay Area (and in turn, learned all the best places to get lunch). - Cool HQ location on mid-Market. - Company has been trending up and growing ever since I started.

Cons

Of course there are cons. After all, it IS work. - It's a very busy environment that can bog you down if you're not prepared. It can get challenging trying to prioritize, but managers are there to help. - It's a very dynamic working environment as well. You definitely need to be able to adapt, but if you can, you will thrive. - Time Sheets. Everyone has to do them. They're essential for reporting and analysis. I still don't like doing them and most everyone here will agree they're a necessary evil.
