Pros

Very knowledgeable in all the core technologies, sales reps appear to be tenured for the most part so they are able to handle the basic questions and rely on support for more of the solution opportunities.

Cons

They appear to be considerably understaffed compared to CDW, Insight and SHI. They are still driven by the old point product sale and miss many opportunities to expand a sale and create a trusted customer for life.

Pros

Laid back, good work/life balance.

Cons

Poor communication in general, salaries are a little on the low side. Since acquired by parent company getting anything done requires an act of congress.

Pros

The corporate office is willing to provide flexibility, and there's a good work/life balance, with a laid back atmosphere. The company gets many accolades in the industry. The Marketing and Website areas are innovative, and the company is growing. The office building is small but nice.

Cons

The corporate office is like high school - if you're not in with the popular crowd, this will not be your place to work. For the most part, promotions are given by popularity, not ability, more so than in other companies. I have seen too many good employees leave while poor employees are rewarded. Poor management decisions are overlooked because of seniority or friendships. The company invests everything in their customer facing systems and nothing in the ones that keep the business running, and the entire culture revolves around the sales reps. The parent company is located up north, so there aren't a lot of options for advancement unless you relocate.
