Pros

Can be fun fresh out of college and a great way to make friends if you are moving to a new city

Cons

Very low base salary, far less than competitors They will make you share hotel rooms with strangers in the organization Stress of the job isn't worth the pay No outside leadership or ideas in the organization Brooksource tries to compete with large technology integrators and their services don't compete Very little opportunity to speak transparently with your leadership without risk of being fired Large drinking culture and very unprofessional at times, people saying I love you to coworkers, etc... The leaders pick who they want to make money and spend most of their time with those reps, if you aren't a yes man or favorite, don't expect to make any money here Consistent issues with their payroll and onboarding departments which gets put on the AE's and Recruiters Burn out and attrition is high Unethical leadership, your leadership will bad mouth you to other people in the organization constantly. No true HR in place, there’s only a few people in the entire organization and your market doesn’t have an assigned HR person. Even if you do go to HR, it’s pointless

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and honest feedback! Although, we are disappointed to hear that it was a negative one. Culture is everything here at Brooksource which is why we strive to create a welcoming environment where all our employees feel empowered to be the best. We say “strive” because as you have mentioned, our work is far from finished. Cultural changes do take time, and we believe we are taking the right steps. This includes the creation of our employee-led connection groups, joined together based on common backgrounds, identities, or interests to provide a safe space for conversation and development. We have also expanded our benefits to include mental wellness coverage, additional PTO, and parental leave for all employees, as well as tuition assistance for those who qualify. These are just some of our latest enhancements to our internal culture! As we continue to grow, so will the type of support and assistance we provide to our employees, consultants, and clients. Thank you again for your feedback, as it is reviews like this that help us better align our plans for the future with the needs of our internal employees!

Pros

This company relies on growth from within, so if they see potential in you, they will help you get to that next level. There is always a huge support system around you at all times.

Cons

The amount of support can quickly turn into micromanaging, and promoting from within is great until you start protecting those who earned their title sheerly through tenure or a 'good ol' boy' system. Also, the pay is abysmal. They pay you the absolute minimum in salary and the rest is based off of commission, so even the best reps can lose everything on a clients whim, going from making almost $200K a year to $30K in the blink of an eye. They say they have protections in place for that but that's only for the people who earn the company millions of dollars for 4 consecutive years. Also, there really is no such time as a work/life balance here. They throw parties to make you think you do, but if you are out on PTO you will still be judged by your KPI's while you were out, and they expect you to pick up the phone, regardless of if you are on vacation or at your grandfathers funeral. "Still gotta keep you numbers up!"
