Pros

friendly coworkers that help a lot. people are cool and make every day enjoyable. snacks available up front at all times.

Cons

time is managed in 5 minute blocks, frustrating to keep track of. performance pay is used as a way to prop up salary because base pay is low. never got performance pay due to unreasonably high billable expectations. upper management barely show up to the office and you feel alone. office dress code is overkill for IT and owner will message you directly putting you in an awkward spot. owner will bulldoze you if you dont say yes to every single thing, beware.

Pros

Some other people have pointed out that billing to 5 minute increments is somehow "sweat shop" behavior. Sorry, that these people chose to work in a field where accurate billing and complete documentation is paramount. The truth is, Cornerstone I.T. knows how to use reporting correctly. They have dashboards setup for each department, KPIs, training plans, paid certifications, the expectations are very clearly laid out. I don't really understand why employees hate a system, that honestly was years ahead of most of the companies I have worked at. This is a company that understands exactly who it wants to be. Do you realize how rare that is?

Cons

Not really flexible with work from home. Obviously with COVID that happened for awhile, but as soon as the office could be opened, we all had to be there. It's not so much the virus, but that even though all the tools and controls are in place for remote work, it wasn't something considered as a benefit to those that wanted more flexibility and less commutes per months.

Pros

Everyday brings new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow as an engineer. You will deploy and support a variety of technologies. Possible to earn commissions for sales if you choose to help with quoting. Great place to help you determine which aspects of IT you enjoy the most. The company will sponsor training if it provides value. Appreciate the family business vibe of the office and managers encourage work/life balance.

Cons

Can be very busy at times with multiple projects running at once. Time management can be difficult when dealing with complex tasks.
