Lacking upper management leadership

Pros

Working at DataBank allows employees with junior to mid-level experience to gain valuable technical sales experience. Company provides a decent portfolio of managed services and colocation offerings. Some clients are very large and can help grow your network of contacts within the IT space.

Cons

The list of cons is fairly significant. Biggest issue is lack of leadership and help from the sales management team. One particular person in the KC market has no business being in the management role she's in. Specifically, backhanded remarks, micro management, yelling at employees, dishonesty and all around selfishness were all attributes that I witnessed on a fairly routine basis. It's amazing that a lawsuit for employee harassment hasn't been levied against the company. Lower salaries compared against other competitors in the industry, expensive health insurance and lack of 401K match round out the key negative attributes of DataBank.

Pros

- Benefits - Good entry-level type of work for younger folks - Good opportunity for fresh out of school people that are trying to get into IT at all - Workload can vary, I would say use the downtime as an opportunity to better yourself and leave the company at some point (yes, this is still a pro)

Cons

- Grossly underpaid when compared to others in the same industry (especially technicians with significant time in this company). - Technicians have no guarantee of growth with this company, even with time under their belt. - No incentives/compensation for increased responsibility on entry-level technicians

DataBank Holdings Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest opinion and for the contributions you make as a DataBanker every day. Your voice is important and heard no matter what level of the organization you work in, and we take seriously your feedback, even if we may disagree with it. As you know, DataBank’s 1st Cultural Cornerstone is to “Put People First” and we strive to do that every day – not just with compensation – but with strong benefits, training & development, volunteer time off, employee resource groups, continuous feedback surveys and lots of peer-to-peer recognition and awards. We do this because we know you are our most unique and enduring competitive advantage. That being said, we recognize how important compensation is and we have worked diligently this year to help our staff help offset the pinch of inflation by 1) closing pay gaps where they existed due to acquisitions; 2) deliberately exceeding the national average for pay raises in 2022; 3) managing our healthcare costs to a 0% increase for two consecutive years when many companies are averaging a 6.5% increase; and, 4) implementing a company-wide employee discount program with discounts at 100s of vendors nationwide. We know being a data center technician is a demanding job and we continue to look for ways to create exciting career paths for all employees. 2022 was our best year ever for sales growth and that is the engine that will allow us to create even more opportunities for all DataBankers. We hope you will stay with us to share in the success to come. But if not, we will remain grateful for your service and wish you the absolute best of luck in your career.

You are a laborer. That is how the company views you and that will not change.
