Pros

The opportunity to truly create your own business with the support of best in industry Design Architects, System Engineers and Products at a local level is a unique position in the market. AOS provides the opportunity to be consultative and create solutions well beyond a typical VAR, including practices around Microsoft, ITSM, Security and SharePoint. Money takes care of itself but the quality of people that you are surrounded by make the place special.

Cons

You must be willing to learn constantly, adjust with change and work hard to take care of your customers. Relationships are important and required. If you take care of the customers first, your support team second and the partner manufacturers you will be successful.

Pros

Worked with some of the best Design Architects and Sales VP in the industry. Had the ability to gain incredible knowledge in a short amount of time. Everyone who was in the trenches were very supportive of each other as we were facing a huge challenge. There were some great partnerships with forward thinking, innovative companies and it was exciting to have those in the portfolio.

Cons

No focus. Came at the market with out understanding that the "old school" mentality of sales does not work and will not work any more, especially in this market. As it is was proven. Account Managers were constantly held to unrealistic expectations and felt beat down to "sell more" AOS took on too many different partners and never seemed to have a focus on what it wanted to be. Although some of the partners were truly innovative and unique to AOS. There was never a unification of what our over all focus was. Taking away the momentum that was being built in a 15 minute warning to get on a mandatory call was disappointing to say the least. Especially after being told over and over that everything was ok.
