Pros

Small company with a small company feel. Feels like family owned company because that's what it is. If you like dogs there a few running around all day long which make it great, just like your working from home.

Cons

The business has reached its maximum growth as the market is saturated with Mac professional services vendors in Orange and San Diego counties. There is litle hope to find net new accounts at this position. CRTG talkes on 4-6 new accounts a year and then loses 2-4 accounts a year due to price gouging its clients and and over rigid account management. Management moto -"The customer doesn't know what they want, that is why they hire us. We tell them what they need and how much they can afford, were the experts-not the client" Sales positions have suffocated and died out every time for the past four years -Good luck The owner is an Engineer and has little to no experience with the sales cycle. Unfortunately he is responsible for the sales, engineering,marketing, billing and HR departments. Some people really like the family feel of a really small company so this maybe the place for you.

Pros

No Pros on Working Here

Cons

I worked at CRTG before and it has been the by far the worst experience I have ever had in any work environment. Russell Poucher is by far the worst boss I am have ever had. He micromanages everything and blames everything on everyone else but himself. The office is gross, has dog vomit everywhere and it stinks. Russell Poucher gouges every client he has and has favoritism over some clients than others. Russell also has a lot of guns in the office which really is not necessary to have at a work place. Russell Poucher is also chauvinist, racist and sexist towards everyone in the workplace.

Pros

You can bring your dog to work. There's food in the refrigerator & cupboards.

Cons

Extremely high turn over due to owner's mismanagement. Clients have complained on various occasions about owner. Owner micromanages everything & everyone and won't allow people to do their job. He has to have his hands in everything and has to know everything that's going on at every given moment. Owner is a narcissist and lacks empathy. Does not care for his employees. Owner does not listen to what the clients need - always insists that they need certain hardware or software and ends up costing the client more in the end.
