Pros

Friendly people. Welcoming to those without technical backgrounds.

Cons

They say they put people first but this doesn't seem to be the case as the turnover rate is very high. Retention doesn't seem to be a priority. This causes a constant inflow of new and often inexperienced workers and a lack of seasoned workers to train them. Pay is mediocre, 16-18 but everyone, including those in leadership roles complain of being overworked. It is common to see people leave after 3-12 months for better opportunities. Company does not have overflow protection for it's support desk. First 3 months of 2021 were straight back to back and overtime was constantly being asked of employees. Typical call volume is 70-90 calls per day. Expected Average Handle Time is 7 minutes which garners the feeling of quick resolutions vs quality calls. This is especially true when it can take 2 minutes just to have the user try to explain the issue and another 2-4 minutes to remote in and that's before you even get to start working on the problem. Taking breaks feels like being in kindergarten. You can't go on break if any of the 20-30 others are on break. This can be very difficult when people are gone for 10 minutes and when they come back you will most likely be in the middle of a call. When your call finishes there is high probability someone will be on a break at that time.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that friendly staff was a pro for you as we continue to recognize and implement our core value of “Our People are #1.” Across the industry, our turnover rate is actually on the low end. In regards to compensation, remember to take profit sharing into account. Compensation must be viewed in total across a 12-month timeframe. We recently created a position that will focus on improving onboarding and training for our teammates. Ultimately, this position will curate advanced plans for team retention as well. Providing 24/7 IT support to our clients can be a task that requires a lot of work. We believe that our teammates are up for the challenge as we strive to provide great customer service to our clients. Mechdyne's service desk model, similar to many companies in our industry, heavily relies on our team being ready for all incoming end user requests. While some days are busier than others, an average agent utilization of 60% - 75% leaves our teammates downtime during each shift to recharge between contacts. If you would like to talk more about any issues related to your personal situation, please feel free to reach out to us at feedback@mechdyne.com

Pros

Remote work available after initial training. Profit Sharing (dependent on Sales team)

No pay raises (just a promotion ladder that doesn't exist) below pay scale

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that remote work and profit sharing were positives for you. In regards to compensation, local cost of living at our various locations around the globe varies widely and must be taken into account. (e.g. it costs much more to live in Chicago and Orange County than Marshall County or Malaysia). National “averages” are interesting to look at but mostly irrelevant. Compensation must always be viewed in total across a 12-month timeframe. We suggest you meet with your supervisor to find ways to increase your compensation by elevating your performance. If you would like to talk more about any issues related to your personal situation, please feel free to reach out to us at feedback@mechdyne.com

Terrible pay

Pros

Exec team was pretty good. The travel was fun. The company offers a chance to grow and develop your skills before you inevitably take a different job.

Cons

Poor pay, long hours, middle management loved to bog down everything in bureaucratic red tape, co-workers were very cliquey.
