Pros

One of the few MSPs around with a legitimate focus on customer service, integrity, and doing the right thing. The office environment is very open, with a strong encouragement towards idea-sharing and brainstorming between the technicians. Management is flexible and open to employee input, and the CEO is a genuinely good, caring person with a very strong skillset and an aptitude for teaching. There's never a shortage of work to do, and, because of the drastically differing client environments, you can greatly increase your technical skillset in just a short amount of time working there. They maintain a high standard of work, both in customer service and technically, and have a wealth of knowledge to draw from for difficult problems.

Cons

With high standards comes high stress. It's an extremely fast-paced environment and a lot is expected of the technicians. Strong prioritization and judgement are required just to keep up with the flow of work. Because of the focus on integrity, it can be very easy to take bad situations as personal failures and let the stress pile up. Burn-out must be kept in check personally, as the flow of work does not slow down.

Pros

I have been with the company for more than three years and it's been the best place to work. I have been treated poorly in my past jobs and appreciate how I am treated here. I feel like I am part of a "Team" and not on the side lines watching. My opinion matters and my ideas are heard. My skills have grown and I have had the opportunity to learn the newest of technology.

Cons

Busy with not a lot of down time

Pros

The only pro I can think of is if you like moving furniture around for your first few weeks this is the IT job for you

Cons

This place was horrible to work at I mean I would almost recommend working in fast food or even a call center over this. After week 2 I assessed this place was not going to work out . The owner and his wife would always have fights in front of staff. there is loud cursing , shouting and almost violent behavior. There is NO Ownership of process or tasks and anytime you sit down to take it on Jeff just thinks you are being lazy and gets mad at you. Naturally some of this has to do with frustrations over his pending divorce . That being understood you don't take out your frustrations on your staff . This is not a good job to have even as an in between job . I was way over qualified for it and found out the hire on pay was much much lower then my contracting pay. I was only there about a month. But it became evident that this place has a lot of hostility and insecurity issues to work out among st it's owners and staff . Most of the clients they ahave are also rude to you when you go on-site to do work. I almost feel as if the clients and realize deserve each other /

This individual was also a contract to hire contractor who was released from his contract before converting to employee status. We have had three contract to hire contractors that we have not converted to employee status in the past three years due to violation of company policies. As of this date the eight bad reviews on this site are from two of the three contractors who were released from their contracts. Each one has left four bad reviews. Please do not pre-judge Realize based on these retaliatory reviews that are filled with misinformation. I am not saying that Realize is perfect. No company or person is perfect. We have made some mistakes, but we have learned from them and are continuing to strive to be the best IT service provider in the Tulsa area and to be one of the best places to work in the Tulsa area. Do we have high standards? Yes we do. Do we expect top performance from our employees? Yes we do. We also have a bonus program that pays bonuses each month based on each individual’s performance. We currently have a great team and a great group of loyal clients. We have been growing steadily for the past five years and will continue to grow. Thank you, Jeff Woods President Realize Information Technology, LLC
