Pros

Good exposure to multiple different kinds of technologies. Very good way to build a resume as an entry level technician.

Cons

50-60 hour weeks on average, small raises, little to no technical growth outside of immediate role and current level of knowledge. President micromanages, and expects you to work at all hours of the day/night. President shows strong favoritism to managers and sales, while regularly taking advantage of technicians. Frequent after hours/weekend projects with no additional pay, in addition to on-call, and after hours maintenance. Not un-common to work 15+ hour shifts, with the expectation to be back at work early the next day. Knowingly mis-classifies employees as overtime exempt. Multiple instances of incentives being offered by the president, for completing certain tasks, and then fails to provide incentive. Frequently months late on delivering bonuses. Poor health insurance provided. Lower than average pay, and mileage reimbursement for field techs. Clients best technological interests not at heart. Primary client account technicians not consulted on hardware and technology upgrades in favor of upgrades that will benefit the president with commissions.

Pros

Incredible learning environment. Best training experience I have ever had. Freedom to explore all aspects of the jobs. Excellent communication on the team. Leadership always had our back and actually listened when we shared our ideas and concerns. Excellent work life balance. I honestly liked going to work every day. Legitimately the happiest I have ever been at a job.

Cons

MB does an excellent job at teaching you a lot quickly and while the opportunities to grow are there, they aren't necessarily available at the pace people are growing.

Pros

Many good people work here. Company is very open to allowing work from home, and family emergencies. A good place to begin your IT career.

Cons

Training is a joke. You are given a minimal intro to the tools used, and then thrown into the deep end, and expected to be fluid and productive. More Senior employees are supposed to help, but assistance ranges from outright ignoring requests for explanation, to "Look it up on Google" kinds of answers to very specific questions or procedures. Rather than creating an environment where everyone helps everyone succeed, senior employees consciously guard any information regarding clients/client specifics that might endanger their fiefdom. The client suffers because of this, as fewer tech resources can rise to the task to assist. Pay is way below the industry standard. Management knows the, and there is a VAST difference between mid level techs and upper level tech who often perform the same work. Turnover is ridiculous. I was there for over a year, and a total of 24 people left. Out of that, 2 were let go, the rest left due to the work environment, or for other jobs for more pay. The company had hired several consultants, which for the small size of the company, is excessive.

We appreciate your feedback and take reviews such as yours as way to improve our business and processes, both internally and client facing. This quarter, we’ve reimplemented (put into effect) core fundamental training to all employees to ensure our team is operating, communicating and supporting one another to promote our culture and core values. We encourage advancement within the company and recognize that our environment is not for everyone, our goal is for employees to grow personally, professionally, develop their abilities and find their life choices rewarding even if this means they move forward to another employer.
