Pros

I worked in the Austin office and Management has been actively making it a more fun place to work. People that thrive there can handle the fast pace. It is great to work with IT clients because they are professional and courteous. Management presses on you hard, but I enjoyed the challenge and stayed friendly to them and my tenure there was fun.

Cons

You have to average 7 calls an hour in order to keep up with new leads and existing open opportunities. I would stay late sometimes trying to make decisions on which accounts were dead and needed to be closed so I would know how to manage my next day better. Most quarters I noticed only 18% of the salesforce hit quota, but I made 60K without hitting quota and is my reason for 4 stars along with the fact that I loved my teammates and had a blast at all the work events.

Pros

Amazing office space in Charlotte with a strong emphasis on work-life balance. There are plenty of social events and networking opportunities that help employees stay engaged and build relationships across different business units. The recent IT reorganization has created a unique opportunity to participate in system and process design initiatives. While this level of change and transformation may not appeal to everyone, it offers valuable experience for those who enjoy shaping new processes and driving organizational improvements. I am optimistic about the direction of the organization and confident in the vision and leadership of the new IT management team.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities can sometimes feel limited within a satellite office environment, and promotion paths are not always clearly defined. Employees seeking long-term growth may benefit from having proactive career development conversations with leadership. The recent IT reorganization has introduced a period of transition, resulting in some uncertainty and lower morale across parts of the organization. The department is currently in a rebuilding phase, and new employees should expect to contribute to the implementation of new processes, systems, and ways of working. Compensation appears to be somewhat below market rates for certain roles, which may be a consideration for candidates prioritizing salary growth.
