Pros

I feel like "company culture" can be pretty cliche but Brooksource has proven year after year that they put their people first. From internal growth/promotion opportunities to professional development training and support structures, I've been given every opportunity to be the best professional I can be. This has ultimately equated to four promotions and all-company awards and accolades. I was fairly directionless when I came into Brooksource as an entry-level employee. I've since met some of the most impressive leadership in the country and received the opportunity and guidance that's gotten me to where I am today.

Cons

This industry can be tough. Doing a great job and working your tail off doesn't always guarantee that you win your client's business. That said, the internal team and leadership at Brooksource certainly sees that effort and over time, you will be rewarded for it. Hard work is a staple of success in any industry, but its a mandate in IT Consulting. The ball doesn't always bounce your way, but if your determined and consistent, and don't get too down about things you can't control, the opportunity for financial gain is massive.

Pros

This company relies on growth from within, so if they see potential in you, they will help you get to that next level. There is always a huge support system around you at all times.

Cons

The amount of support can quickly turn into micromanaging, and promoting from within is great until you start protecting those who earned their title sheerly through tenure or a 'good ol' boy' system. Also, the pay is abysmal. They pay you the absolute minimum in salary and the rest is based off of commission, so even the best reps can lose everything on a clients whim, going from making almost $200K a year to $30K in the blink of an eye. They say they have protections in place for that but that's only for the people who earn the company millions of dollars for 4 consecutive years. Also, there really is no such time as a work/life balance here. They throw parties to make you think you do, but if you are out on PTO you will still be judged by your KPI's while you were out, and they expect you to pick up the phone, regardless of if you are on vacation or at your grandfathers funeral. "Still gotta keep you numbers up!"
