      Company cost me $50,000 in 2020 by Reimagining how our region should work

      Pros

      The company is stable in the market place

      Cons

      Company has had a long list of pet projects over the years that almost always end up costing their employee's their lively hood. They say we are family but they don't care. Company continues to post record profits and makes multiple acquisitions per year but when its time to fairly pay employees or issue the Holiday bonus they claim they are barely scraping by and couldn't possibly pay anyone another penny without the company going bankrupt. Constant manager turn over. You will have a career plan set with one and understand how your compensation will be set, and all of that will be thrown nd out and need to be discussed and set up again with the new manager.

      Pros

      Good training program that is paid Great networking opportunities within the IT world Culture is the best part of the company, the coworkers you meet and work with

      Cons

      Can feel like months go by without making any progress. Backbone departments (bid desk, configuration center, ect.) completely disorganized and undervalued, they literally do not read your requests at all and requires a back and forth dialogue that is a complete waste of time and energy. Management can take your 'small business' accounts and reassign them to 'corporate' with or without explanation while never replacing the account that you worked very hard to build from nothing. Leadership either total micro management or completely hands off even when you require help closing a deal.

      Stop Telling People to “Drink the Kool-Aid”

      Pros

      Very social environment and a lot of opportunities to get in front of parters and network. There are always events and happy hours to go to and there are select groups of good people here! Account Representatives go through an awesome training program and are given books of business.

      Cons

      Bro culture. You can only build your book so much based on government contracts among other limitations. The common saying is “just give it two years, drink the Kool-Aid and you’ll be happy”. Obviously instantaneous gratification is not realistic in most jobs that are worth it, but seeing is believing and some people just don’t see the same results even if they do all of the same things. Horrible time off and package benefits, compared to other “leading” companies.
