Be prepared to self train

Pros

Super casual environment. The managers are accessible and easy to talk to. The pay is fair. Feedback is encouraged. Opportunity abounds, but this is not a 40 hour a week gig for the ambitious. Nice family feel to it all.

Cons

Understaffed, overburdened, it is difficult to service the customer if even one person calls in or goes on vacation. The departures seem to have accelerated in recent months. The company was purchased by Carlyle Group last year. The private investment firm will resell or dissect and sell piecemeal to competitors within 5 years. That is the pattern. Acquisitions continue however, maybe ECI will buy everyone else out?

ECI Solutions is so-so at best

Pros

If you were to work there you will probably really enjoy working with your peers and your manager/managers. At this level there is a lot of compassion and desire to do the very best job for our customers and employees. Although it is high tempo and fast pace company the environment that you work in is relaxed. The dress code is relaxed as well. Customers have been around for a long time in most cases. When you work with them you will find them to be great people.

Cons

The company has been owned by investors. The executive team becomes more and more disconnected with the workforce employees as time moves on. Investors and executives reap the benefits of growth and cost cuttings while the rank and file pay the bill. The employees are considered "upgradable" by the executive team. Employees work in a "meritorious" environment, so many employees do not get pay raises. For some employees it is the same year after year. If you are lucky to get a raise, rarely will it be more than 3%, even though we raise customer subscription fees 4% year after year. If you are healthy and don't need to visit the doctor the medical insurance is fine. However if you plan on seeing a doctor bring your checkbook. If you have ongoing medical needs expect a fair portion of your take home pay to go to medical.The company does no do any matching in the 401K that it offers. The program consists of front loading mutual funds. The only way that this makes sense is if someone at the company is getting a kick back.

Flexible environment, approachable management

Pros

ECi has one of the most flexible environments I've ever worked for. There is no push back on needing personal time for things like doctors appointments or other family obligations. Hours are also flexible as long as you are getting your work done and in communication with your manager. Time off is very generous, even for new employees. Management staff is highly approachable and friendly. The communication from management with the staff has improved immensely over the last two years. Very friendly and casual atmosphere in the office. There is no real dress code, unless you are attending meetings with customers or tradeshows.

Cons

As a private company, we have no pre-determined regular bonus or pay raise structure. Our raises are determined solely by the performance of sales. If we miss our sales goals, no raises. Many employees are frustrated by this policy and feel it's unfair. Training and mentoring must generally always be self-driven, there are no standards or policies currently in place to continually train employees. Middle-management is inconsistent - some departments have more qualified/better leaders than others. No 401k matching. HR department and onboarding procedures are pretty much non-existent. Insurance options are good, but have increased quite a bit in cost over the last few years.
