Pros

- Will hire you without experience if you demonstrate competence - Regular work hours - Free lunches - Good place to learn basic technologies - Promote professional development

Cons

- Loyalty is valued above performance - Lack of real communication from senior management: rules suddenly change or people get fired with no explanation and no one talks about it - kinda creepy! - Rigid top-down management structure - do not seek or care about input from junior employees - Old, crumbling facilities

First, I want to thank you for your time working at Miles Technologies. I hope that you had positive experiences that you can look back on and feel that you gained valuable experience working with our staff and our customers. I also appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. One of our Beliefs is Continuous Improvement, and I take constructive feedback seriously. I feel it's the only way we have an opportunity to truly improve. I will do my best to address the specific feedback. We absolutely value loyalty. Our hope is that all members of our team have a long and fulfilling career at Miles Technologies. We also realize that other opportunities arise, and we support former team members' new ventures, whatever they may be. In terms of performance, we must value that in order to experience success with our customers and as a company. We have numerous staff members that have progressed and advanced in a relatively short amount of time due to going above and beyond in delivering great service and adding incredible value to both fellow staff members and customers.Our Career Planning and Goal Setting process is designed to help our staff progress regardless of how long they have been with us. In terms of communication, there is a saying that you can't over communicate. I think that saying is true. As much as I try to communicate direction and vision to our staff, I am sure I can do a better job of more frequent communications with the entire company. I will work on that. Regarding termination of staff, unfortunately, there have been times where we had to make very tough decisions. It's hard to do, but if it's the right decision, it should be done as it's not the right fit for either the individual or the company. We are working hard at improving our candidate screening process so we make even better hiring decisions. In terms of management structure, it has really expanded over the past several years. We have numerous staff in management and leadership roles, and we are actively conducting workshops aimed at further development of both leadership and management skills. I also know that we have incorporated many ideas (both work environment and service related) from many people across our entire company.Our company is lucky to have so many people that care enough to provide great input. On the facilities, the building does have quite a bit of character, being over 60 years old. Despite the age of the building, we actively perform maintenance and update the aesthetics both in the interior office space and exterior. We'll keep working on this - there is always something to do. In terms of the reviews, they are written by either active or former employees, like yourself. We welcome the feedback.

Pros

Great coworkers and you WILL learn a lot fast. 1 year in you will definitely feel confident in IT if you can manage your stress. There is practically no training and rarely help, even is a specific procedure to pass your tickets you worked on for too long up to Reinforcements but they would more times then not get sent back to you to continue being worked on even when you communicated to end-user you are "escalating this". I can't blame them as they are under severe stress as well, and it was very visible for everyone on my team. Almost no time to small talk with your team, or even step away to make coffee/bathroom, and if you did you directly add a load to someone else's busy and unmanageable workload. They would mention certificate bonuses and allowing you to study during work hours but there is NO time. Also would see Miles University pushed on the website/job posting but there was no 'learning' happening, other than maybe once every 2 months an hour PowerPoint on "How to Communicate". Overall if you CAN'T find a job and are willing to learn as you go for FortyK~ and are fine with being a soulless zombie for some time then go for it.

Cons

-Immense workload, we can't even keep up with current clients and would be getting new ones at least twice a month (team) and onboarding was usually a disorganized mess once it came over and a lot of the extra work to patch up fell onto the already busy Support team -Low pay for what you are expected to do, you have 16+ clients under you -Inactive manager, unless you are fine with someone who only prods you to update tickets when your connected to 2-3 end-users machines and on the phone with a 3rd/4th. 0 help.

Pros

A lot of new technology to work with

Cons

Management, they will hire you when they need you and will let you know when they dont no matter how much experience or how good your performance is. You will always end up working late and wont get compensated. they will expect more for a lot less. Wages are average. I have seen whole support team change within a span of just one year.

Thank you for being part of our company. Even though your employment with us ended, I know that you cared. Thank you! I hope that you look back on the positive experiences. I appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback and I am going to make adjustments to hopefully help someone that experiences a transition similar in the future. There are times that we know that an employee’s future would be brighter pursuing another opportunity, rather than continuing employment. Knowing this does not make the decision easier and we have to be empathetic while sharing that we believe the decision is the right direction for the staff member’s future. I wish you the best of luck and I know you will be a great contributor to the next company you join.
