Thank you for your review. We take pride in our long history in the industry as many of competitors have struggled to meet the demands of the Telecom space. You do not have to look far and deep to see the competitors that have disappeared over the past 31 years (Nortel, Toshiba, Executone, Comdial, Rolm, Tie, etc...). By my count there are at least 20 manufacturers that have come and gone or filed for bankruptcy.
Over the past 31 years we have not spent a lot of money on marketing in the traditional sense. We work with a large network of experienced resellers and agents that are on the front lines doing the prospecting for new opportunities. We use our marketing $'s to try to support our partners efforts to succeed. As far as training goes. We do have internal discussions underway to improve our on boarding and training processes. Those processes start with proper documentation which is being updated as the business evolves.

ESI takes a lot of pride in providing employees with opportunities for both professional and personal growth. The company does a great job in putting employees in great positions to develop their professional skill sets to meet the demands of today's technology. ESI offers scholarship assistance for employees that want to learn more skills, as well as scholarships for the children of employees who are preparing for college. This company truly does care about its people.
Cons
Like with any company, some employees often must "wear multiple hats" to keep things on track. This, however, opens up opportunities to grow individual skill-sets and gain familiarity with new aspects of their departments.

Thank you for your review. We take pride in in our scholarship services and encourage all employees and their family members to pursue additional education and personal growth initiatives.
Life at a small company means that often times you have to wear many hats and learn on the fly. This provides opportunity for personal and professional growth. To improve we must continually challenge ourselves and our processes. We are a tech company and things can change quickly. If you like learning new things then I think you will enjoy working with ESI and in the Telecommunications industry in general.
Like any company we are always seeking new ways to foster communication at an individual and departmental level. Any ideas that foster improved communication are always welcome!

ESI cares about its people and about giving back to the community. Many co workers have been here a long time left and ended up coming back because they did not realize what a great place this is until they left.
Cons
The typical struggles of a small technology company competing against some large competitors but we manage to get our fair share.

Thank you for your review. While we do not encourage long time employees to leave we have seen many ask to come back shortly after leaving. Sometimes the grass can appear greener on the other side of the fence.
We do compete against some big companies. We have to be more nimble and creative when facing some of the industry giants. The good news is that means we rely on everyone to contribute and by contributing you can shape the future of the company!
I am always open to listening. If you have ideas on how we can improve and how we can make things better then please bring them forward. We are always open to new ideas.
