Pros

Relaxed office environment. PTO isn't tracked. Annual Vegas trade show. Sales and engineers get paid above industry standards. Some growth potential from entry level roles onto sales teams for motivated people.

Cons

The only people who have ever mattered are sales and their engineers. Operations is a meat grinder with high turnover and no career growth potential. Inside sales will NEVER make the jump to sales, unless you go to another VAR. Engineers are good, but overpaid by industry standards. Engineers are the life blood of the company, but HR has a horrible reputation for finding IT talent for either internal or to fill the professional services bench. Hardware sales is the main focus, not professional services. Too many under-utilized engineers and project managers just collecting a fat paycheck and not contributing to much. No 401K matching. Just marginally OK health insurance. More of a corporate type atmosphere is ruining the culture. Engineers and other employees are leaving to other VARs constantly.

Pros

Trace3 has an incredibly supportive and compassionate leadership team. Managers genuinely care about their people as individuals, not just employees, and they consistently show up with empathy, encouragement, and trust. There’s a strong focus on professional growth, with plenty of opportunities to learn, take on new challenges, and get exposure to projects that align with your interests and strengths. Collaboration is a huge strength here. Teams work well together across roles and functions, and there’s a true sense of consistency in how people partner and communicate. No one hesitates to step in and help when needed — even outside their immediate responsibilities — which creates a culture of shared ownership and mutual respect. On top of all that, the culture is genuinely fun and energizing. People are smart, driven, and kind, and the environment makes it easy to enjoy the work you’re doing alongside teammates you actually like working with. Trace3 strikes a rare balance between meaningful work, strong support, and a positive, engaging culture.
