Pros

The pay was at market.

Cons

Office politics were pretty bad. Especially between project managers, who would fight over developers.

Thank you for your comments. SERVPRO's IT Department continues to grow in step with our company and its objectives. Part of our responsibility is to evaluate the way we operate to ensure that the best and most efficient practices are being adopted and continually updated. We are sorry that you found our environment to be "hostile." Although we respect your opinion, "hostile" is a strong critique not previously heard in this context. We strive to create a productive and collaborative environment between teams and departments. Specifically, we work closely with our PMO to ensure that timelines and objectives are being met, and that we are providing clear direction for our developers. Priorities sometimes change and that can impact schedules and plans. We review and prioritize our projects on a recurring basis to avoid any politics or disagreements between project managers. With regards to our legacy systems, we will continue replace our systems and evolve our software to ensure that we are providing "best of class" software to our franchises. SERVPRO is an exciting place to be and we are offering tremendous opportunities to IT professionals who love a challenge and want work on great technologies like mobile, web and cloud technologies. Thanks again for your comments.

Pros

Immediate leadership was great, and starting pay was competitive. There are people who genuinely want to see the company succeed. The owners were personable and made a point to interact with all of the staff.

Cons

Dishonest. When hired I was promised commissions on profitable jobs. My whole time there I, my boss, and the only other project manager never saw a bonus, even though the department saw very significant increases in profit margins since I was hired, due in large part to the changes made to the process between my boss and myself. I was moved out to the region for this job and missed some time due to complications with the move, as well as some health struggles. I was given understanding and advised to keep and eye on it. When given news that our department was essentially dissolving and I would be taking on the work of half the team, I left early to discuss with my wife. On returning I was immediately terminated without any warning whatsoever and nothing lined up in a state I haven’t had time to make connections. Infighting among the staff is also an ongoing issue.
