Pros

I was an employee for 4 years. At the time I started working there (2008), there were some smart individuals employed that were good technical resources. The beverage fridge was always stocked.

Cons

Problems were everywhere you looked. The talented employees left one by one and the ones who remained were hardly available as they were heavily utilized. You were made to feel stupid when you asked questions so there was a LOT of problem solving by Google alone. Employees were played against one another. Turnover became so bad that there was no point in remembering the names of new employees as they would simply disappear after one or two weeks there. Pay was well below industry standard. Performance reviews were always negative in order to preclude employees from receiving raises. On the rare case of receiving a raise, an employee would receive a meager upgrade in salary. Moral hit rock bottom and people began not caring about the work they performed. Client complaints about poor QoS skyrocketed but nothing much was done about this.

Pros

I have been working for 318 for about three years, and the thing that stands out the most is the quality of the team that surrounds me. There are clearly strong friendships at all levels of the staff, and it's reflected in the work. It is also one of the few places that you can find the highest levels of expertise on the Mac, PC, storage, and networking sides of the field in the same organization. From a team member standpoint that really puts you on solid footing with the confidence you need to finish projects and follow through with that team, as well as learn from them. The culture also encourages strong and straightforward communication of both accolades and concerns, which I find very refreshing.

Cons

As with any consultancy, the demand can be strong at times, and it becomes important to develop the necessary skills to handle those trials. Gaining a strong understanding of tools, systems, and your peers early on can help to ease that. I also think that continuing to develop and define the system of routes to resolution with any kind of staff concern will help to improve the speed with which those concerns can be resolved. In my personal experience, the open door policy of a small business has honestly been wonderful, but I think that for different personality types a more clearly defined system would be helpful and comforting.
