Pros

Competitive compensation, laid-back work environment and great benefits.

Cons

Lack of documentation. No standards in place for solutions or stream lined solutions. This is a typical unorganized MSP that simply throws anything in their customer sites whether their technicians have working knowledge of it or not. Can cause high stress and time management challenges, as they do not have the resources to provide training, or so it appears. Account managers seem to overpromise, and projects do not follow through with their work, leaving it for engineers to clean up. Appears to be very successful company, but extremely unorganized with no standards in their implementations. Good luck with escalations and mentoring. Do not take the job unless you’re HIGHLY experienced with most if not all networking, VOIP manufacturers, as well as server operating systems.

Pros

All individual contributors are team players and willing to help out. Company culture is great. Friendly faces everywhere, no shortage of help or support. They care about work/life balance & mental health. Compensation was slightly above market.

Cons

No dedicated project manager. Project team is understaffed and overstretched. Leadership is stagnant. On average, the top 4 roles in my department have been there for over 20 years. The CEO has been there for over 30 years. There is definitely a good ol' boys club at the top. Processes are outdated and need to be reviewed. When mistakes happen, they are constantly blamed on prior employees, instead of management taking accountability. Their unique sales model results in extremely reactive responses when customers are unhappy, and creates needless stress for the project team.
