Pros

You have a paycheck. Sodas are .25 and there are lights and air conditioning until its outside of the companies budget.

Cons

There is NO organization, There is a very extreme and obvious lack of talent which is expected because the company does not want to pay for people to stay They openly pay their Atlanta office 3x as much to do the same job as their Emporia and Macon office. When people leave they don't back fill jobs....that dominoes on the existing employees to take on the workload of the ones who left. Documentation is out of date. Employees laugh at the customers issues while they are on mute not really even caring about the issue at hand. Maybe 1 in 35-40 have even a CCENT Employees aren't given the time to fix the issues even if the level of caring was there. The managers don't care about anyone. They criticize their employees on the floor, you get written up for just about anything. There is no real training. The companies thrives on acquisitions but doesn't properly train existing employees on how to take on the new companies employees. If you could look at the Birch employees from a high level - its almost comparable to what the Titanic looked like once it hit the iceberg. This job is great if you love to be yelled at with just a few alloted minutes to fix it before having to pass the ticket off.... and "Call Them Back" or the call "Accidently Disconnects" All the best employees left.

Pros

There is an excellent work/life balance with more PTO/paid holidays than I have had at previous companies. My supervisor and team are very easy to work with, are understanding, and are great to bounce ideas off each other. Very positive work environment, where everyone pulls their weight. The executives are real people who can be emailed with questions, concerns and who are just generally “present” and not people the employees never see or don’t have access to reach. Goals for the company are made transparent. We have a quarterly town hall meeting where the CEO summarizes the ups and downs of the last quarter and keeps us up to date on where we are as far as reaching our goals. Birch promotes from within, as I have seen numerous employees get promoted. It seems like there have been monthly team building exercises/fun events such as a carnival in the fall, customer service week with lunch for the entire company provided, a buffet of desserts before the Christmas holidays, potlucks for any/every holiday, and various breakfasts and lunches provided. Love that Birch has recycling containers throughout the building!

Cons

There is a small cafe that serves breakfast and lunch, but the food is not the best and the selection is limited. I would recommend bringing your own breakfast/lunch/snacks! Office supplies are limited and I have brought several things from home.
