Pluspunten

If you live in Frederick and are looking for a hometown IT services employer they are a good fit. People are somewhat nice I guess.

Minpunten

Salaries are much lower than similar jobs in Frederick and surrounding communities. You will work very hard. They always seem to be struggling with finances so the less you know about their financial state the better. Owner is a christian and a nice person. He runs the company with his emotions on his sleeve though so be fore warned. You will drive a lot and mileage compensation is lower than federal standards. Training is minimal and you will be expected to figure stuff out on your own. Insurance is expensive. You will be expected to be less than honest to properly portray the company properly. Data center and computing resources are all old and they do not maintain service and warranties.

Pluspunten

The attitude and culture. Sound too good to be true? Well sometimes great things come in smaller packages. The ability to be heard - it applies to everyone in the company. Having a voice doesn't mean you will always get your way but the management team listen and hear what you say. It might not always be what people want to hear, but ego's are checked at the door and viable feedback that is constructive and could benefit everyone is always heard. Transparent management - knowing the going's on in the company is huge for me. The company is having a good month? Great! But now the employees know it too and it helps foster employee engagement and loyalty.

Minpunten

It's a smaller company. Processes are in place and work well, and as the company continues its growth the policies and processes will continue to improve.

Pluspunten

Always treated fairly (both by management/ownership) when it came to financial compensation and other value indicators. Always encouraged to improve, but not in a belittling way. Frequently given chances to prove you are up to new challenges. Great sense of teamwork from the top down and bottom to top. Most customers were appreciative of the effort and quality of work provided. You will develop strong documentation and communication skills at this company as well.

Minpunten

Can be a little heavy on the non-standard business hours support needs, but anybody considering a career in IT should know that these jobs are not M-F 8-5. Previous management was sometimes unfocused. I can see why others mentioned it was a Mom & Pop operation with struggles to meet billable goals, keeping larger support contracts, and trying to control rumors about financial stability from permeating throughout the staff, but all that sounds like a stage they went through as a growing company.
