Pros

4.5 years working at Carahsoft, I’ve seen and heard it all. Work from home, too many people take this for granted. They promote within! Plenty of opportunity to move up if you work hard and deserve obviously. Work hard, be proactive, take accountability, be reliable, consistent aka do your job and you aren’t micromanaged. If the above is done, they compensate you very nicely. Craig pays 50% of health insurance (not sure if this has changed for new hires) that is unheard of and extremely helpful. Insurance is great, never had any issues. Craig cares and does so much for his employees, way more than I think some people deserve and take for granted. Team Trip, 401k match, Shoe Day, Epic Bar Tab, Reggae Fest, milestone and birthday gift cards, Trophy Bottle, snack boxes, and more.

Cons

They hire kids right out of college with zero work ethic and work experience. They don’t fire people enough, you have a handful of top performers picking up the slack for their colleagues and carrying the team. 60+% of my pay is bonus which makes tax season daunting and stressful.

Pros

- Work from anywhere in the US

Cons

- Team dynamics are horrible - Many team leads micromanage - Work benefits are terrible (time off, 401k, insurance) - Pay is atrocious for the amount of work required, number of rules you must remember. MUST have a second form of income - No overtime, despite constantly working more than 40 hours - No promotions available, no way to work your way up the ladder (without reapplying to a different role) - No socializing allowed virtually - every keystroke is tracked so they know if you're chatting (can we not chat and work?)

Pros

Management is very team dependent. Some teams better than other. My team is relatively good. Very Flexible remote work policy however must work east coast hours If given good vendors your activity is great and recognized. Leaves room for growth (still team/vendor dependent)

Cons

Management is somewhat unclear and sometimes you will have multiple Managers of the same level leaving conflicting responsibilities Pay structure very unclear and they have changed how pay works no less than 3-4 times since i started. Problematic company wide metrics that can be impossible to meet if your in a non sales role.
