Pros

- Senior level management not being available in person or technology makes your work schedule flexible - a good stepping stone to move to another company

Cons

- Low pay : far below market - Sr. Management is incredibly unavailable. It takes numerous pings to get a response to a simple PTO request - They nickel and dime you for EVERYTHING. You have to jump thru hoops to get an expense report approved, transportation costs covered, potluck lunches (for the amount of $ that is being brought in on our specific account, cater is a damn meal once in a while) - PTO policy is laughable - Direction of the account is nonexistent - “Process Improvement” is ongoing and beaten into us but there’s no real tangible results - Sr. Management shows their face maybe 1-2 times per week - Employee input is impossible as there is no one around to voice your opinion to - team events are not paid for (my manager paid out of his own pocket for a team outing to the tune of $250) this goes a LONG way for morale - Onboarding was a nightmare. Had to fill out HR forms in two different places. - There is no sense of culture or value within our team or account

Pros

Gained hands-on hardware and IT support experience. Some solid coworkers who were genuinely helpful and supportive.

Cons

Management felt rigid, low-trust, and inconsistent in how conduct was handled. Coworkers confided in me about troubling behavior from a manager — including repeatedly pressuring a female coworker to move in with him, and pressuring another coworker who was recovering from an accident-related disability to return to work early. Rather than facing consequences, that manager was promoted to a lead role a few months later. Separately, after raising a legitimate concern to HR about a coworker's conduct, I found myself under increased scrutiny shortly after, which felt retaliatory rather than performance-based. The hypocrisy was hard to ignore: employees who raise concerns get punished, while those who cause harm get promoted. The company is also being acquired (Leonard Green & Partners), adding further uncertainty.
