Pros

Incredible technical talent People actually care about each other and our customers!! I'm proud of the company's purpose and how we help our communities become safer and more secure Management is good - they make mistakes - don't we all? but when they do, they own the mistake and correct it We hire good human beings and promote from within whenever possible

Cons

We are growing very fast and a recent acquisition has been challenging (just like the last 4) Every time we come through an acquisition and integrate the new business into the baycom culture, it takes 3 - 5 years to really stick. But, inevitably, it does stick. Right now, our recent acquisition in Illinois is exactly where our prior acquisitions were - struggling with change to new systems, new culture, and the whole nine yards. The employees in this office have no idea how much better things will get - these are just growing pains. If any employee at baycom chooses to work hard, treat other people with respect, and go above and beyond for our customers, they will be given every opportunity to grow. For me, I cam from a business that was sold to baycom and I've tested the waters elsewhere. No company out there is growing like this and has people I trust more. I guess I just turned a section on con's into pro's...just speaking my truth. I can't say enough good things about this place. It has changed my life.

Pros

Great place to serve our public servants in fire, EMS, police, etc in addition to large corporate partners who need comm's and tech security assistance. People work hard here, revere the customer, and have each others backs. I cannot say enough great things about the company. Oh, trustworthy, low ego, high character leaders also. Okay, I'm done now

Cons

Company constantly in growth mode creates opportunities. But also creates change and change is tough. I wouldn't have it any other way but you need to be able to roll with the punches here and if you can do that, skies the limit.

Thank you for the thoughtful review. It means a lot to hear your perspective on the work we do supporting first responders and our corporate partners, and I’m especially glad you called out our culture. The commitment to our customers and to each other—grounded in trust, humility, and strong character—is what makes this a special place. You’re also right that growth brings change, and that isn’t always easy. We’re intentional about being transparent and supporting our team through it, while staying focused on doing the right things. I appreciate the reminder to “tell the truth and be real”—that’s exactly the standard we hold ourselves to as we continue building for the future. --Katie Miner, BAYCOM President
