Pros
AOS is a really good company. I enjoyed my time there. The people were great and delivery to the customer was always a priority, which I loved.
Cons
Gary is a shrewd business man. That is good for him and for those who benefit from the business he created. The culture is centered around high micromanagement that I'm sure is labeled as accountability. It's not for everybody. The structure in itself is not bad, it's more about the attitude behind the structure. it feels like you are being whipped when you aren't meeting every metric rather than coached. I would also say that you will find better pay with less oversight in other VAR's. But, if you want to be able to deliver to the customer and like a tight framework to work in then AOS might be a good fit. The lower pay also came with a very low expense reimbursement of $250 a month. The best way to make a friend is to entertain them outside of work. That costs money. It's an investment. If you have the right people, that investment will have a significant return.
