Pros

• Remote work - provided all the equipment needed • Quarterly bonuses • Unlimited PTO • Swag • Well known in the industry • Work life balance was adequate for my role • My direct boss was fantastic

Cons

• There is a strong “that’s not my job” culture. Working cross-functionally in a support role is essentially impossible. • Pay is low compared to industry standard. And bonus opportunities aren’t equal across teams. • Many Directors (and even VPs) lack leadership skills. Just because you are knowledgeable in a certain area doesn’t mean you know how to lead a team. • Insurance is expensive.

Thank you for taking the time, to be honest and share your feedback. We agree that our SLT is pretty great and we are working to ensure their directives are clearly conveyed to every level of the company. Promotions are based on a number of factors. We are all learning together in this process as we grow and try to become better as a company.

Pros

Great opportunity for someone right out of college or looking to break into the channel industry. While the compensation is on the lower side, the exposure and vendor connections you’ll build can open doors to higher-paying roles especially with vendors down the line. The owners are very nice and caring people.

Cons

The TSD space remains heavily rooted in telecom, which shows up clearly in both the partner base and the broader culture. There are persistent concerns around favoritism in recent promotions, and the feedback regarding nepotism is well-founded. There are also gaps within parts of the senior and middle leadership teams, particularly around the level of experience and professionalism typically expected at that stage. This can lead to inconsistent decision-making and, at times, reduced confidence across teams. In addition, there’s a noticeable pattern among many employees with 5+ years of tenure who appear overly comfortable in roles that lack challenge, rather than pushing for growth or pursuing larger opportunities. Meanwhile, top performers tend to move on earlier, often drawn by stronger compensation and more compelling opportunities elsewhere..
