Pros

Someday new management will take over

Cons

Sales have decreased over the past 5 years due to poor management decisions and treating employees and customers poorly. A small few at the top reap all the benefits and give nothing back to the average employees. I left the company a couples years ago and get treated fairly and am appreciated with my new company.

Black Box Response

As you are aware, we have a new CEO as of February 2016. There is now clear direction in regard to the focus of Black Box being the trusted digital partner. We have been consolidating over 100 companies that make up Black Box. This new structure will allow us to have a clear focus moving forward. David M. Pasternak, Vice President, Human Resources

Pros

The data center work itself was interesting and there were opportunities to gain exposure to large-scale projects. Some coworkers on-site were supportive and hardworking.

Cons

Leadership and communication were extremely inconsistent. There was little structure, minimal training, and employees often felt like they were expected to figure things out on their own without proper support or mentorship. Workloads and expectations changed constantly depending on who you spoke to. The company talks about growth, but many employees are underutilized or not actually developed professionally. It often felt more reactive than organized, especially from upper management. Decisions were made with very little transparency, and morale suffered because of it. There was also a noticeable disconnect between corporate leadership and the realities of what was happening on-site. Many employees felt expendable rather than valued.
