Pros

It is a job. That's all I can say for "pros."

Cons

The second you leave Carahsoft you will realize just how insane this company is. Most people come to Carahsoft straight from college, a convenient fact for management, as workers don't know better when they're subjected to borderline abusive behavior. When you need to go to a doctors appointment managers will ask you why you have to go. Company leaders will shove "perks" in your face that you didn't ask for and then wonder why you're not grateful. Asking for time off, a raise, a promotion, or to be seen as a human being will be met with disdain. Any problem you have with your hours, the company, your co workers, or management are seen as your problem, not theirs. There is nothing good about Carahsoft except for the people in the trenches with you.

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.
