Pros

Solid array of products and services Best technicians in the industry

Cons

Zero communications from senior management never celebrate victories. Too many decisions based on "good old boys" network with the current CEO. No strategic plan. Flavor of the month product approach and snap in mergers are not providing equity growth. Outdated financial model out of touch with market pricing No chances for advancement. Teamwork is very poor

Pros

The data center work itself was interesting and there were opportunities to gain exposure to large-scale projects. Some coworkers on-site were supportive and hardworking.

Cons

Leadership and communication were extremely inconsistent. There was little structure, minimal training, and employees often felt like they were expected to figure things out on their own without proper support or mentorship. Workloads and expectations changed constantly depending on who you spoke to. The company talks about growth, but many employees are underutilized or not actually developed professionally. It often felt more reactive than organized, especially from upper management. Decisions were made with very little transparency, and morale suffered because of it. There was also a noticeable disconnect between corporate leadership and the realities of what was happening on-site. Many employees felt expendable rather than valued.
