Pros

Black Box is a huge company and has all the benefits that go along with their size. However, most of the offices function as independent units of the company and maintain their ability to be nimble and adjust quickly. They also provide small company atmospheres where people really care about what is happening. While I am sure there are some "bad" offices, even two offices in the same area can be completely separate in terms of culture, people, tenure and attitude. Anyone looking for an accurate review of the Black Box office they are considering should pay very close attention to the office being reviewed because if the name doesn't match exactly the review means litte to nothing.

Cons

It takes a little longer than normal to get the specific benefit information when you start. They start benefits right away but it takes a while to get the details. The benefits are very generous though so it's worth the wait.

Pros

What a Joke!!!!!!!!!! If you enjoy being a number you are in luck! They have an excellent number plan you never get over being a zero. So the best reasons are these....Met some great Customers. They will be truly missed.

Cons

Where to start. Lies,Lies and more Lies. No raises, Don't know who is running the office from one day to the next. Techs can't even get shirts to work in. Hello?? You want us to wear your logo and stand proud, but yet you horde shirts like they are of The Golden Fleece? Management playing the blame game to make themselves look good. What does Management do just go to lunch and eat? Upper Management winning trips and awards while the workers get nothing. Not even a Thank You! What a Joke!

Pros

Enjoyed the work once I was at a customer site. Very little overnight travel. Great co-workers.

Cons

Poor equipment to work with. Counting inventory of outdated equipment that should have been thrown in the dumpster. Management more concerned about the bottom line rather than the customers satisfaction. No pay raises. Took away the annual Christmas Bonus!!
