There is not one pro I can think of. I’m just glad I resigned. The less hard you work, the more one gets paid.

Minpunten

Company was bought out. Leadership/ management was a terrible experience. Management has the attitude of do as I say not as I do. Communication was at all-time low with management. The culture will never change. 4 CEO’s 8-12 vp’s, and countless managers who have no leadership skills. It was an embarrassment to work at Black box. The new Vice President, who was there maybe 3-5 times a year, did not even know there is a difference between standard cat5 cable and cat5e cable. Basic leadership skills I learned throughout my life Loyalty - no loyalty to the employees. They will throw you under the bus to make themselves look good. Duty- no one on the sales team knew their duties, because of awful communication. Integrity- no integrity with management. Quick to blame anyone., and never took accountability Selfless service- ha, no one in the company even knows what it actually means Honor- nothing honorable about giving promotions to people that do not work hard These are basic leadership skills that one must acquire to lead a company. Culture was all Black Box talked about, but the culture is for upper management to make ridiculous amounts of money that they truly did not deserve. I don’t have enough words to describe the cons. Just a total cluster of a company . I feel bad for the hard working employees in sales and customer service that do not benefit of the non-Hard working individuals at the top.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and I’m sorry to hear about your experience at Black Box. That is certainly not the culture we are working hard to create. It’s publicly known that Black Box did experience some tumultuous times before our acquisition in 2019, however over the past year we have continued to receive very positive feedback from our team members that things are much improved and people are feeling excited about the direction and future of our company. Both our CEO and our leadership are committed to open and transparent communication. As you referenced, we rolled out our mission, vision and corporate values last fall, which will drive the collaborative and forward thinking culture we are creating. I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you directly about your experience with Black Box if you would be open to that.

Pluspunten

There genuinely are a lot of great people working here but they are often lower level employees. Great work-life balance and flexibility (for the most part..) Solid benefits package(health insurance, PTO, etc)

Minpunten

Communication with management is very poor. They hardly consider the opinions of the “worker bees.” Compensation and incentives slowly eroded while you continue to take on more work. “Feathers in your cap” does not count as compensation. Very little, if any, commission. Far too aggressive targets for the resources available. Extreme offshoring of existing positions leading to everyone feeling like they have a gun pointed to their head. Executives hardly have any idea what their organization even looks like on a day to day basis. “Visionary” executives don’t cut it. Most importantly: non-existent path for career development and growth. Taken advantage of, especially in this role. Major conflicts of interests with AM’s and management surrounding growing out of the SSE position.
