Pros

2 hour lunch breaks Get to come in at 9 but be prepared for no parking. Co-workers are amazing

Cons

-The owner acts like a tyrant -Craig (the owner) acts like the phone nazi police along with the team leads -If a team lead decides they don’t like you be prepared., they’ll bully you into quitting and treat you like garbage. - they have no HR - depending on your team taking vacations is a luxury you have to fight for. They’re so stingy about vacation time it’s actualy ridiculous. - their pay sucks you barely crack 45K after bonuses and they’ll lie to you and say your bonus is based on performance and that’s not true. It’s based on how long you’ve worked there. -all the negative reviews are actually true the work here isn’t hard at all a 4th grader could do it. You just make 100 calls a day and build pricing and that’s really it. Most of the time you’re just trying not to fall asleep. -the management there have only become managers because they either stuck around long enough or one of the other team leads liked them enough and gave them a promotion. There’s no room for growth or development here. At most it’s a resume filler but that’s it. There’s people that have been there 12+ years and at most they’re just what most companies would call a supervisor. -their turnover rate speaks for itself -don’t fall into the hype of it being a 5 billion dollar company because they make only 1/5 in margin. -you get a yearly trip that costs 600/person and the owner does it majority to write it off on his taxes, that’s the same with happy hours. -the trainings are so redundant and useless.

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.
