Pros

You will have the opportunity to try a wide variety of things. The people you work with are amazing and you will quickly come to find them as more than just coworkers.

Cons

There are many cons and it is hard to put them all into words. Top-level management and leadership is a major problem. The CEO doesn’t know or understand the industry, the CFO is basically running the company due to a void in the CEO’s abilities, HR is distrusted by all. Worst of all, everyone knows these things but they continue to make excuses and say things aren’t that bad or that it’s just a few disgruntled employees causing the problems. There is a reason why the company struggles to keep talented individuals. The company has the ability to be great but management lacks the desire to enact necessary changes to make that happen.

Thank you for calling out the wonderful relationships you can make working at Booksource. We really do have a great staff! We have also implemented an anonymous employee survey platform - TINYpulse to allow employees to voice their opinions about decisions being made, culture, new ideas, suggestions, etc. This allows us to listen to employees in a whole new way and take immediate action on what they are saying. I am happy to report that there have been a lot of great initiatives for the organization and our culture as a result. Your feedback has been provided to the executive team.

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.
