Pros

Culture: Truly inclusive and welcoming. Longevity: People stay here for decades, which creates a stable environment and a strong sense of community.

Cons

Leadership Mismatch: The company puts Sales people in charge of Engineering/Technical departments. Lack of Strategy: Because leadership lacks technical expertise, there is no cohesive strategy, forward-thinking planning, or understanding of what technical teams actually do. Box-Pusher Mentality: The company has not outgrown its logistics/reselling roots. Not for Innovators: If you want to work on the bleeding edge of tech, you will be stifled here.

Pros

Work life flexibility Working remotely

Cons

This company has changed and not for the better. I started working here under Edwardson and was blessed to experience Tom Richards. When the new CEO C.L took over the company started cutting back on perks and implementing layoffs. This last one seemed so cold and tone deaf. It definitely left a bad taste. I'm blessed to still be here but I am actively looking at other opportunities. It is so sad what is becoming of this place
