Pros

- The owners and leaders are genuinely great people who go out of their way for every single person who works there. - Pay is competitive and getting better. A few years ago the leadership stated that they wanted to get everyone above industry average for their positions. That stalled when Covid hit, but they're picking momentum back up this year. - Work/life balance - It's 40 hrs. Seriously. You may work late occasionally when there is an emergency or after-hours call, but it's not the norm like it is in most tech jobs. And your manager will take care of you if you have a long night. - Benefits are excellent. Everyone gets like 5 weeks of PTO, then there is sick leave on top of that, and paid holidays. Several decent health insurance options. 401K. Pretty much all the things. - The people and the learning. I group these together because they go hand in hand. Everyone you work with from the managers to the techs to the account managers are all fantastic and great at what they do. Everyone is happy to help teach what they know and improve the team. - The management structure changed recently, and that brought a lot of changes with it that not everyone liked, but the new team is finding their bearings and dramatically improving things across the board.

Kontras

- It's fast paced. You'll have to balance a lot of priorities and there aren't a lot of "slow" days - They support other businesses, so you'll have to know a lot about a lot of different environments and your priorities will shift very quickly depending on the customer's needs. That's just the nature of the job.

Pros

Work from home Ok pay Exposure to lots of tech

Kontras

Little sick time, doesn't accrue Borderline animosity between teams Rapid dissolving of teams resulting in layoffs Time tracking Not much room to move Recent complaints have led to some significant changes in how things are done, and this has compromised trust in teams. As a result, there's been a rise in internal tensions and more micromanaging. While change is a normal part of working in IT, the sheer amount of changes happening is making people feel overwhelmed, especially since many teams aren't being consulted about changes that directly affect them

Thank you for taking the time to write out your perspective. We agree with you that our company has many positives like our remote-work-centric culture, our compensation plan, and excellent growth and learning opportunities. We are open to suggestions about whether our paid time off policies are sufficient, as we provide 5 days of paid sick leave, 21 days of paid time off, and recognize company 8 holidays. We did recently dissolve our legacy Field Services team, combined with sunsetting a legacy service that involved technicians going onsite to customers on a consistent fixed schedule for 4-hour blocks of time. One of the primary reasons we ended this legacy service was based on negative technician feedback about this legacy service. Over the last several weeks we have been aligning the IT Experts on the Field Services team with new duties on a case-by-case basis. This is to ensure these team members are feeling like their skills and talents are well utilized. We did make changes in how our projects are managed due to various challenges we encountered with several critical projects, which did require us to make some personnel changes - this is likely the basis for the comment about "rapidly dissolving of teams resulting in layoffs". While we had both our customer's best interests and the best interests of the technicians who are impacted by project implementations, we can see that these changes could be seen as sudden. Time tracking isn’t on anyone’s list as a fun part of the job, but there are many benefits to it. First, time tracking puts both the technician and the company in the best possible position whenever there is a dispute or post-incident review on any issue. All the ticket documentation and time recorded helps us also look for coaching and mentoring opportunities to help everyone improve their technical and soft skills. As you likely know, we put a lot of emphasis on training and helping bring out the best in everyone. We also use time recorded on tickets in our ongoing analysis of how to accurately price our contracts and projects, ensuring we can maintain the right balance of being profitable and affordable to our customers. While time tracking is a necessity, we are always looking for ways to reduce the load on all staff and remain open to any tools or ideas that can make this part of the job easier. We readily acknowledge that our decisions and their execution cannot be perfect, and we welcome feedback about how we can improve. Please use your team's regular Level 10 meeting to bring up any Issues you have so we can discuss and work on solving them. Please also consider bringing up these topics in our regular Employee Advisory Meeting, or requesting a 1:1 meeting with your manager, a Director, or any of the Officers as well so we can better learn how we can improve our business from your perspective.
