Pros

I cannot find anything positive!

Cons

- Everything they tell you in the beginning seems to lead you to believe "This is a great place to work", do not believe the hype! - Micromanagement - Most people are out there and not friendly. They will treat you like an outsider. - Unrealistic daily task demands - Management only cares about the metrics, not the employees - They will put so much pressure on you to meet their goals, they will actually make you sick! This happened to me! - Terrible communication! They train everyone to use chat to communicate, no one knows how to speak to each other. - When they speak of culture, think cult! This is a cult! -They will put pressure on you and try to make you resign.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I am very sorry that your experience with Miles IT did not match our intention of being a best place to work. We are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent, and collaborative environment for all employees, so I am disappointed to hear some of your feedback. We have a diverse team of supportive and friendly people and I'm sorry to hear that you did not experience an inclusive team environment with us. It can be difficult in a remote work environment to maintain a sense of inclusiveness, but we do our best to get people talking and involved. Some of our recent initiatives in this endeavor have been our monthly "Coffee With Coworkers" meets where our entire staff is invited to chat and mingle. As well as our goal this year to have regional meet-ups so our remote staff can get together in person for some fun and conversation. Last month we were selected as the #1 Best Place To Work on the Philadelphia Business Journal's annual list. I believe this ranking, based on anonymous feedback from employees, demonstrates that we are a great place to work with a team of people who genuinely enjoy working for Miles IT. We believe in a strong work/life balance and we aim to set reasonable goals for our employees. As our company is growing and our client base is growing, we are actively hiring to ease the workload for all of our teams. Our managers advocate for their teams and we've recently updated our metrics so our goals are attainable and sustainable. We provide extensive training for our staff, and we do our best to be as thorough as possible. The benefit of having a largely remote work model does present a challenge in training but with our buddy/mentor program, chat and video meets we feel like we are able to provide a similar training model to what we could do in-office. That said, it is important for individuals to advocate for themselves if they struggle so management can reinforce training when needed. Thank you again for your feedback. It helps us make Miles ITs a better place to work. I wish the very best for all of our staff - past, present, and future. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. If you wish to provide specific feedback about your experience with us or what about our culture gave you the feeling of "cult" you can email us at careers@milesit.com.

Pros

Family comes first here at Miles IT. I work from home because I have kids in school and kids with special needs. Miles IT offers the flexibility I need to take care of them. Miles IT offers great opportunities for advancement and expanding your knowledge. Everyone I work with is super friendly, and we all strive to support and help each other succeed. We may have many divisions, but we are all one company, and we ensure each other's success.

Cons

Sometimes, I work a bit longer hours because I am so engaged in something that I can't stop until I'm done. (maybe that is my ADHD talking)

Pros

Great place for IT beginners. They put family first and offer great flexibility with work-from-home shift timings. It’s a great environment for learning new skills and gaining hands-on technical exposure.

Cons

The company suffers from poor workload management, continuously loading tasks onto overwhelmed employees while senior staff are too busy to offer timely help. Management fails to value seasoned employees, routinely ignoring their feedback and opinions. Instead, the culture leans into unnecessary micromanagement, where employees are constantly criticized for petty mistakes that do not impact the customer, leaving staff feeling unappreciated. Combined with the complete absence of an HR department to address behavioral issues, this creates a highly stressful and toxic work environment.
