A real comment - Transition Advisor ERA Solutions Employee Review

Working here as a Transition Advisor was one of the most meaningful jobs I’ve had. I got to help veterans who were starting from scratch, no tech background, no experience, get into the IT field. We walked them through everything. Certifications, training, and even job placement. It felt amazing to see someone go from unsure and overwhelmed to landing a legit role in a new career.

Of course, it had its moments. You get emotionally invested in the students and sometimes it’s tough when things don’t go exactly how you hoped. Plus, things could move fast and shift quickly, so you had to be able to keep up.

What really sets this company apart is the founder. He genuinely cares about the people who work here, and that’s not something you see every day. When COVID hit, instead of cutting jobs like a lot of companies did, he chose to keep the team together. It wasn’t easy, but it showed what kind of leader he is. There’s a real sense of purpose in the work they do. This isn’t just a business trying to make a quick buck. The mission feels real and it drives a lot of the decisions that are made here. Because it’s a startup, there’s a lot of room to grow and take ownership of your work. If you like being hands-on and making a difference, this is the kind of place where that’s possible. Your voice matters, and that’s empowering. The culture is honest and down-to-earth. No one’s pretending to be perfect. People are transparent, and that makes it easier to trust each other and feel like we’re all on the same team.

It’s still a young company, so there are growing pains. Some systems and processes are still being built or improved. That can be frustrating at times, especially if you’re coming from a more established place. Resources are limited, which means sometimes you have to stretch yourself or wait longer than you'd like for things to happen. You definitely need to be okay with figuring things out as you go. Work can get intense during certain periods. Startup life isn’t always balanced, so it helps if you’re the type of person who’s adaptable and can ride out the waves.
