Work Hard With Great People at a Company That Cares

Pros

I have worked full-time at Miles Technologies for almost 10 years. This is not the first, or second, or third job that I've held for 5+ years. But if things go well, it will be my last. While not perfect, and possibly not a great fit for everyone, it is hard to imagine an overall better place to work if you like to work hard, with great people, on challenging problems that matter. You might love working at Miles Technologies, too, if: 1) You *like* to be busy, 2) You are self-motivated, 3) You are humble, 4) You are smart, 5) You genuinely like and care about other people. The free food, the gym, the paid Volunteer Time Off, the group activities, the back deck, approving your own time off, and lots of other things are also great. But see above. Be honest with yourself: working 'Hard and Smart' is a real thing at Miles. Now that you know, don't act surprised after you're hired. The company has been around for 20+ years and has figured out a lot about working efficiently. Those tools and procedures are available to every employee. An ocean of coaching and assistance is also available for the asking. From what I've seen, most who struggle with the workload either ignore these tools or don't bother to learn them well. And then complain about being overworked. At every level, Miles is more focused on leadership than 'management'. Corporate strategy, goals, and operating results are communicated to every employee. Expectations for every role are clear. Leaders and their direct reports communicate regularly and company leaders are unbelievably available. How many other companies do you know where any employee can view the CEO's daily calendar and create an appointment for themselves? I consider myself very fortunate to be part of Miles Technologies.

Cons

No company is perfect. Given the 'pros' I think these cons are minor but maybe they will be important to you: - Miles is constantly growing and prefers to promote from within. As a result, not every leader is going to have a ton of experience leading. If you feel like you need a very experienced supervisor, maybe this is a consideration. For the vast majority of employees, it's not a problem. - Workload IF you don't proactively manage it or just don't want to work hard. If you do manage your workload and work hard, you will accomplish a lot at Miles.

Pros

The management teams are genuinely interested in hearing everyone's feedback and incorporating it to make the company better. The offices are a great place to be and have many perks: gym, lunch room, rec area, basketball court, outdoor patio. I feel like I have a lot of flexibility to focus on the things I care about most and can make an impact on the company and the customers in a positive way. The company does a lot to focus on positive recognition. Everyone is both willing and able to be very helpful. You can almost always find someone that has an expertise or knowledge in what you are struggling with. They will take the time to help you through a problem and teach you something new along the way.

Cons

The location is a bit far away from "main" living areas such as Philadelphia or even towns in Southern New Jersey. Some of the work can seem to be sporadic and not planned well. This tends to put an extra level of stress on the teams.
