Pros
- Brooksource has one of the most comprehensive training programs in our industry. They use a high level of industry knowledge, to make all employees feel comfortable in regards to sales & partnership management, consulting & managing projects, and knowledge on industry specific verticals. In addition, Brooksource's continuing education programs and long-term supplemental training keeps you striving to want to learn more and continue to grow your knowledge base. - There are multiple layers of support, locally, regionally, nationally, and across multiple verticals and markets. - The culture here is far and above the best I've seen and here is why. Everyone truly is treated like family and you develop great friendships from that while every employee is also very diligent in their work. We all continue to push ourselves to not only be better in our career's but also to be the best colleague and partner for our clients. - Opportunity for growth is a large part of why I made the decision to work for Brooksource. Not only growth and mobility from a career perspective but also growth from a personal perspective. Brooksource continues to challenge me and I feel as if I'm growing and learning every day I'm here. - All layers of our management from our President to our Market Directors allow us to be innovative and push new ideas. There isn't a day that goes by where I feel like I can't discuss any one of my idea's with senior leadership. - Day in and day out you can see the passion, determination, & diligence from all employees across the board. Everyone is striving, as a team, to achieve our goals and the feeling of accomplishment & inclusion that comes with that is indescribable. - The 6 word's that not only describe Brooksource but are at the heart of everything they do as a Company: Family, Opportunity, Innovation, Passion, Grit, & Service
Cons
- Like most careers in an industry that is ever changing, there are a lot of challenges. To be successful you have to think on your feet and be able to handle a plethora of different situations. The training is in place to prepare everyone for this but ultimately it falls on the employee to retain and utilize the information correctly. - There is a high level of knowledge retention that is required, especially when focusing on specific industries, i.e. Banking, Retail, Life Sciences, Healthcare. Again, preparation is there but as an employee you need to stay fresh in industry trends. - As in most careers there are always highs and lows- sometimes those highs feel very high and the lows very low. This career path requires the grit and determination to power through the lows and to not get caught up in the highs. With the culture and team feeling in all of our markets, it can make it much more bearable to work through the low's and much more enjoyable to celebrate the highs. - This company is very cross functional and very idea sharing centric- if you work better as in individual setting it could be a bit of a shock at first. But if you enjoy challenging yourself to make a transition into a team-oriented mindset this is a great company to do that in.
