Pros

Amazing office space in Charlotte with a strong emphasis on work-life balance. There are plenty of social events and networking opportunities that help employees stay engaged and build relationships across different business units. The recent IT reorganization has created a unique opportunity to participate in system and process design initiatives. While this level of change and transformation may not appeal to everyone, it offers valuable experience for those who enjoy shaping new processes and driving organizational improvements. I am optimistic about the direction of the organization and confident in the vision and leadership of the new IT management team.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities can sometimes feel limited within a satellite office environment, and promotion paths are not always clearly defined. Employees seeking long-term growth may benefit from having proactive career development conversations with leadership. The recent IT reorganization has introduced a period of transition, resulting in some uncertainty and lower morale across parts of the organization. The department is currently in a rebuilding phase, and new employees should expect to contribute to the implementation of new processes, systems, and ways of working. Compensation appears to be somewhat below market rates for certain roles, which may be a consideration for candidates prioritizing salary growth.

Pros

Strong work-life balance with supportive flexibility in day-to-day operations. Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across different regions and functions. Good exposure to enterprise sales, channel management, and cybersecurity/IT operations solutions. Collaborative culture where many team members are willing to help and share knowledge. Competitive compensation and benefits compared to the market. Valuable experience for those looking to grow their careers in technology sales

Cons

Frequent organizational changes and restructuring can create uncertainty. Decision-making can sometimes be slow due to multiple approval layers. Internal communication around strategy and account ownership could be more consistent. Partners and customers may occasionally experience confusion when expectations around pricing or channel engagement are not clearly aligned. Career progression opportunities may vary depending on business priorities and organizational changes.
