      Disapproves of CEO

      Pros

      Great people in the organization, excluding the Sales team, despite all the layoffs. My manager was excellent, always shielding us from questionable and constantly changing management directives.

      Cons

      Went through countless rounds of layoffs over 13 years (and various positions) before I got my turn. They were always looming, and it created a dismal work environment. They would rarely invest in technology solutions, preferring to overload remaining employees to be the glue between disparate systems. I've heard they are continuing to thin the heard in the US, continuing to push for outsourcing to cut expenses. Short sighted moves that likely won't pay off.

      Advice to Management

      Improve the culture, stop all the layoffs and pay your staff market wages.

      Pros

      It was a good opportunity to see how an actual technology support company was structured. Good to be part of a support group.

      Cons

      Work -life balance was stressful.

      Advice to Management

      Get additional staff to help out existing workers.

      Pros

      Any additional certification that you want in computers, the company paid it. Examples CompTIA, Dell EMC.

      Pros

      There are some really great people who work for the company. The work/life balance is good. Benefits are good; the company pays a nice portion of insurance. 401K. Good health incentive program.

      Cons

      Pay is not sufficient for the work that is required. Temporary employees make more money than full time employees. When a temp goes full time, the rate of pay decreases. High turnover rate

      Advice to Management

      It's time for a raise. Pay your employees. Great staff that is underpaid.

      Frequent RIF's in certain divisions make job security uncertain. Prolonged Raise freezes.

      Advice to Management

      To help increase productivity, and improve morale greater emphasis needs to placed on recognizing employees for a job well done.
