Pros

Motivation for rage applying for other opportunities

Cons

Severely understaffed. No training. Not adequate equipment for the task at hand. Unethical practices Lack of project management. Unclear processes. Broken systems. Investing in buildings over people. Being promoted to positions and taking on those responsibilities but delaying the payment for months. Forced trips instead of bonus payments. No defined metrics for success or promotion. Over time without compensation. Lack of work-life balance. No work-from-home or hybrid model. Losing vehicles due to alcohol-related accidents and reimbursing fuel below the federal rate. No required impact gear was given such as backpacks to hold the laptop and necessary devices such as tone probe etc not provided. False expectations about events and benefits, with the pandemic no longer a valid excuse. Inappropriate dialogue from the management; profanity, emotionally charged yelling, and berating. Racist, sexist, and discriminatory abuse from individuals who don't get reprimanded but are instead promoted and put in positions of power. Shift priorities from selling to what you are actually selling - services and invest in the people and processes to make the projects successful. It is embarrassing and shameful being part of such an disorganized organization that is openly deceitful and willing to cut corners and "bake into" deals exorbitant fees. This ultimately blows up in everyone's face and the network engineer is the messenger that is shot and spit in the face as the boots on the ground face of the company. Then after travailing the hostile client environment just to return to an even more hostile, abusive, EEOC violating office environment is appalling. Be better. Culture comes from the top down. Show some class. Not glorifying degenerate debauchery, alcoholism, vulgar language and crass "humor" it is not funny.

Pros

Impact has been an exceptional place to grow my skillset. Particularly, Impact Austin was remarkable. Scott Copeland is the best boss I've had and one of the biggest reasons I took this job. If you're looking for a place that pays you well while you significantly sharpen your skillset, this is the place. There is substantial longterm potential at this company and in this role. If you're looking for a future, this is the spot if you're a top contributor and excited about cashing your own checks.

Cons

Once you're at the top of your game, it's tough to find a path to move forward AT THE MOMENT. This is being worked on, and should improve markedly soon. This has been the best job I've had and the Austin office is the best place I've worked.

Pros

Lack of offices so WFH mostly

Cons

1. Benefits are terrible (expensive & mediocre) 2. Their pay is below market but will constantly breadcrumb employees by saying raises are coming. And quotas are unattainable and unrealistic. 3. Employees at the bottom are made to feel replaceable. If you bring up a concern, you will be belittled. 4. Executive level shows no professionalism 5. Impact is run by bros who peaked in college and they carry that mentality. 6. No raises or bonuses for regular Joe working nights and weekends but hiring C-suite level officers at 200k+ who just regurgitate TikTok lessons on sales 7. No safe place to discuss cons. Retaliation is big here. 8. All executives and Csuites gossip on team meetings all day about who they like or don’t like. I’ve personally heard them badmouth employees who have been here for years the same day they gave them an award. 9. HR was better under Mary. She was approachable. No one in leadership is approachable. No one.

Please know that we acknowledge the concerns you’ve raised and appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. We understand that benefits, compensation, workload, and performance expectations play a significant role in how employees experience their work, and we recognize the frustration that can arise when those areas feel misaligned. These topics are reviewed regularly, and during our recent All Company Meeting we shared upcoming initiatives related to compensation management. This includes a company wide process launching around June, where the Executive Leadership Team will evaluate overall business performance and allocate funds accordingly. Feedback around morale, communication, and employee experience is taken seriously. I continue to lead our HR team, and encourage you to reach out to me direct so I can hear more of your perspective and see if there’s anything we can do or clarify to make your experience better. These conversations matter, and they help inform where clarity, consistency, and support can be improved. We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. Mary Zellers, Director of Human Resources
