Pros

Shoe day, $200 dollars each for you and your mom to go shopping at Bloomingdales. Free pies at Thanksgiving. Bonuses every month

Cons

I beg you if your reading this review and can avoid working here, do it. Being honest here's the stuff nobody talks about before you get the job: the environment is like a post-college sorority/fraternity scene, some teams get along great while majority you hear talking about each other behind their backs, alcohol is part of the culture at this company, and some people bring pot and smoke weed during lunch breaks while walking around the building. If you're lucky you'll get placed on one of the few good teams like Adobe, but you're risking it.

Pros

I worked on a specialized unit for several years at Carahsoft. I enjoyed my team, my customers, and my work. I was very proud to be part of something that was as ground-breaking in the industry that my unit was. I gained industry skills and knowledge that have opened up many opportunities. Working with vendors and partners alike in the ecosystem allows for invaluable networking.

Cons

Unfortunately, there will always be downsides when it comes to any company you work for. With Carahsoft, there is a discrepancy with pay. There is no clear pay model and they use non-discretionary bonuses to account for around 70% of your total yearly income. This leads to no incentive or reward to bring in new business. Carahsoft also has a “churn and burn” corporate culture when it comes to their employees. The retention rate is rather low and which leads to frequent burn out due to either lack of staff or a team that has inadequate experience that requires tenured members to pick up slack.
