Pros

You will love your co-workers & the job you do.

Cons

Recently the culture has been in decline. At one time this was a hip, cool place to work but over the past couple years they have been replacing our great culture with more of a corporate culture. This week they announced random drug screening, which they are saying is to keep a safe drug free work environment. In my time here I don't recall any accidents or issues that have come about because of drug use. This policy shows the huge disconnect between the executive team & the employees. The funny thing is, the owners are pretty cool and down to earth so everyone really knows that it's being pushed by others in the executive team. This policy has also proven that the HR department is not really doing a good job of looking at the real issues our company faces and is merely going along for the ride.

Pros

Upskilling resources are solid Well supported in first 2 years Events take the edge off that contractor chilliness you might feel Great way to get started I do feel that my time is protected

Cons

Being a contractor sucks in so many different ways, even if I’m technically a full time employee at Brooksource I was promised a smooth and swift transition to a full time role after the first year or so, that’s come and gone and the conversation never seems to move forward. At this point I think I would just need a counter offer to actually get a full time position wish I was fought for harder, or that my expectations were better managed. Company events kind of fell off, but think management is working on it.
