Pros

Great senior leadership and management teams. Phenomenal staff that is 100% committed to client satisfaction. An incredible culture that transcends all roles within the organization. It's the best company I've been a part of hands down.

Cons

IT is a lifestyle along with a career path. As such, long hours and late nights go with the territory. Luckily, at Network Coverage management compensates for this with time off and other benefits to make life easier. That's rare in the industry.

Pros

-Most low-level employees are a pleasure to work with

Cons

-If you check the dates of the reviews on here, you'll notice they are bulked together. That's because management approached staff members to post positive reviews in order to improve the company's Glassdoor rating. -By far the most manipulative, two-faced, ego-driven management you'll encounter in your working career. Of course, it will start off as all smiles and positivity, but not genuine. -Company has rampant nepotism. Friends of management receive 'fast-track' promotions and are treated much differently within the organization. -Training isn't taken seriously. They only allow technicians to train for one-hour, once a week, using company-generated materials. -Company is obsessed with call and tickets metrics. You will no longer have a career in IT, you'll have a career in answering phones. Management doesn't know or care about your work in the field, they care about your call metrics. -If you don't answer a 'minimum' call volume per day, you will be swiftly written up. This 'rule' was imposed without being communicated to staff so people were receiving write-ups without knowledge of the rule. -Company recklessly terminates employees, and without a hint of warning. My first month alone, they terminated seven tenured employees as a 'purge' of the lowest-performing. Multiple employees have taken a vacation and arrived back to termination papers; if the company ran smooth without you for a week, then unfortunately you're not necessary any longer. -Since the company engaged in reckless terminations, the culture shifted from comfortable and happy to fearful and tense. -Company has third-party HR and it's not accessible to employees. When you are written up, they approach this third-party HR and explain everything (behind the scenes), but when management approaches you with the write-up, HR is not present. Third-party HR is only there to terminate employees. If you see a third-party HR representative arrive, someone is being fired. This is the culture at Network Coverage. -The Service Desk and the Project Team are at war. The two teams are treated very differently (unfairly). Projects Team will actually blame low-level service desk technicians for high-level issues to deflect their own mistakes. Beyond being cringey and pathetic, it directly affects the perception, respect, and future within the company for that technician. -Perhaps the worst part of all, you are under constant video surveillance. They actively watch too so if you happen to go to the bathroom, you may receive a text asking where you are.

Pros

I am forever for the opportunity to be a part of something as special as NetCov. I regularly have as much fun working as I would any other leisure activity. This place is unlike anywhere I have ever worked because the primary goal is to do things the right way and if there is a better way to do something thing, they are always open to listen. Personally I have been told on multiple other jobs "this is just how we do it ok?" when I brought up something that was being done wrong. Good suggestions are frequently adopted along with recognition. Ownership mentality is a big focus and every single person here cares about the work that they do and the clients that they service. We all work together and make each other better every day, it's almost as if you are getting paid to go to school. Everyone is in a constant state of both learning and training by being encouraged to collaborate with each other. If you want an opportunity to be a part of rapidly growing and unique IT company, this is it.

Cons

Realistically if you don't fit our mold, you aren't going to make it here. Frequently I have heard of the importance of an employee having both personality and character ahead of their technical skill because they are confident that the right people can be taught anything technical but the rest cannot be taught. Some of the negative reviews are prime examples of that requirement and/or lack thereof and I'd be doing a disservice to everyone by not refuting a few of them. The most ludicrous first...The light above the bathroom is so you don't walk across the office to an occupied one, it just mirrors the light on the inside, you're clearly insane and I'm glad it didn't work out. The next one is pretty easy. If your view of the training process is "indoctrination" then you don't fit the mold at all and the training that focuses on undoing bad habits that people picked up elsewhere must have been difficult. I'm fairly confident I know who wrote that one and well... they had a couple colossal screw ups as a direct result of still "doing it their way"
