      Pros

      Lots of opportnity to fix mistakes. Lots of SMB exprience. Great if you like working in the western suburbs of Chicago.

      Cons

      Egos and crazy people drive all the business decisions. Sr. people here have flushed business down the toilet rather than let junior people do their jobs and grow an account.

      Very sad to see this review; the person seems to imply that they fixed everyone else's mistakes although we have an excellent technical staff; we've seen quite a bit of sustained client growth, internal and new, so the 'grow an account' comment seems odd. We use an anonymous employee feedback service and have never heard this type of comment before. We are committed to a positive and exciting work environment for all our staff.

      Pros

      It's a dynamic workplace if you are looking for challenges

      Cons

      Scheduling is poor and not necessarily scheduled due to priority. Turnover is EXTREMELY high, and about those awards someone else was talking about. I do tremendous work, and have not seen any rewards.

      I noticed this is from two years ago. Our scheduling IT Coordinator does a fantastic job and is a valuable part of our team. He's been with us since the summer of 2017, so these comments were before his time. We just did a Net Promoter campaign to all our clients with absolutely fantastic results. If there were issues, I'm confident they are fully resolved!

      Leave your independent thoughts at the door, you aren't allowed to think for yourself here. Your dignity is forfeit.

      Pros

      A bi weekly pay check Non Supervisory staff are friendly and helpful

      Cons

      Being salary is abused and frequent lectures on not working over 40 hours. Condescending tech management without a tech degree or background. Benefits are poor and will be held over your head as collateral if the owner does not agree with you at any point. Lots of travel with a borderline illegal "lunch break" depending on where you need to travel. Mileage compensation was good until it became "averaged" and direct deposit. It got cut in half for most employees. Promises of education and opportunity are not followed through.
