Pros

Pros-Where do I start? I can honestly say I work for the most thoughtful and generous boss anyone can have. He truly cares about ALL of his employees and does not have a selfish bone in his body. I always knew this, but once I got into management I saw even more of his generosity and passion for his employees. He has taught me a lot about business and has shown by example how to treat customers and employees. He is not in this business for a quick sale, but believes in developing and keeping relationships with his customers. Next biggest PRO is the opportunities at UDI. I started at UDI over 10 years ago with zero experience. Through the years I was given a training path and was trained technically by two of the best in the industry - Our current Service Manager and CTO. With their guidance I went from a network admin and gradually worked up to a Senior level engineer. At that point I was presented with an opportunity to further grow my career and became the CIO. Over these years we had several over engineers that were able to make similar advancements in their careers as well.

Cons

Working in a professional services company is demanding. It requires you to stay on top of technology, get certifications and work long hours on projects. The feelings of any hard work will always seems as a con at first until you accomplish your goals and benefit from the rewards. Well worth the cons.

Pros

Most coworkers are friendly, and the free snack machine is a nice perk. The work from home flexibility is nice, but not all positions have that ability.

Cons

Management is solely focused on numbers, often at the expense of employee expertise and realistic solutions. They expect broken processes to work without addressing underlying issues, and anyone who challenges the status quo or suggests improvements risks being let go—I witnessed this firsthand with multiple employees, including myself. There’s a lack of engineers and techs, causing burnout across all roles. Many positions see high turnover unless you’re part of the inner circle of upper management. While the company promotes core values, leadership doesn’t always practice what they preach, and certain executives avoid taking accountability. In my short time there (less than six months), I was unfairly expected to carry the success of the project team while my concerns about core issues were ignored.
