Pros

Remote work available Opportunity to travel for trade shows and conferences Easy work Exposure to lots of technology topics

Cons

Mind-numbing repetitive work . Constantly shifting management messages. Micro-management can be an issue depending on the team. Pay increases are mostly in bonuses and weird at tax time. Upward or lateral movement is entirely up to your manager/team lead. Antiquated CRM and cold call expectations. Lip service to diversity and inclusion but still very white, male, business-school-graduate oriented. Soul sucking involvement with all the worst excesses of our capitalist society.

Pros

4.5 years working at Carahsoft, I’ve seen and heard it all. Work from home, too many people take this for granted. They promote within! Plenty of opportunity to move up if you work hard and deserve obviously. Work hard, be proactive, take accountability, be reliable, consistent aka do your job and you aren’t micromanaged. If the above is done, they compensate you very nicely. Craig pays 50% of health insurance (not sure if this has changed for new hires) that is unheard of and extremely helpful. Insurance is great, never had any issues. Craig cares and does so much for his employees, way more than I think some people deserve and take for granted. Team Trip, 401k match, Shoe Day, Epic Bar Tab, Reggae Fest, milestone and birthday gift cards, Trophy Bottle, snack boxes, and more.

Cons

They hire kids right out of college with zero work ethic and work experience. They don’t fire people enough, you have a handful of top performers picking up the slack for their colleagues and carrying the team. 60+% of my pay is bonus which makes tax season daunting and stressful.
