Ventajas
A very tight-knit family like environment with a lot of support. Ron Fowler, the CEO/President/Owner, is a great guy and treats his employees well. IT is an ever changing industry and the variety of challenges make the job never get boring. The benefits, while not the best, are overall good and the compensation is fair and includes profit-sharing and performance bonuses. A great place to grow and take risks as the company continues to grow. Low turnover. Fun events and team builders are hosted every few months. Some of the engineers are the best in the industry. The line card has been trimmed down and I truly feel we now have a good handful of "go-tos" for our best of breed offerings.
Desventajas
In my 5+ years, the Management Team has changed considerably. Many of the top level VPs and Directors were let go over the past three years, which sent some vibes of uncertainty through the company. However, this has been blunted in that the new Management Team is more united and creates a more supportive workplace environment, so what looked initially like a negative has been a positive. The Sales Team typically gets more praise and focus than the Engineer Team, while the dirty little secret is that the engineers are the cogs that keep this machine running.
