Pros

Decent pay after a few years, solid health ins, dental, and vision. Travels to different places and happy hours. People who like to do stuff outside of work. Company swag here and there.

Cons

Poor communication with the lady who handles HR stuff. There is no actual HR department so internal conflicts often don’t get resolved or people get treated very poorly and forced to quit. Every team has a different culture, there is no standard for the whole company. Alcohol will be gifted to you if you do a good job, like every body likes liquor. Bad things tend to happen on these trips out of the country but they can also be fun. If you have problems with alcohol or drugs avoid this place like the plague. Things might be different if you stay remote though. Very 1960s corporate mentality here.

Pros

4.5 years working at Carahsoft, I’ve seen and heard it all. Work from home, too many people take this for granted. They promote within! Plenty of opportunity to move up if you work hard and deserve obviously. Work hard, be proactive, take accountability, be reliable, consistent aka do your job and you aren’t micromanaged. If the above is done, they compensate you very nicely. Craig pays 50% of health insurance (not sure if this has changed for new hires) that is unheard of and extremely helpful. Insurance is great, never had any issues. Craig cares and does so much for his employees, way more than I think some people deserve and take for granted. Team Trip, 401k match, Shoe Day, Epic Bar Tab, Reggae Fest, milestone and birthday gift cards, Trophy Bottle, snack boxes, and more.

Cons

They hire kids right out of college with zero work ethic and work experience. They don’t fire people enough, you have a handful of top performers picking up the slack for their colleagues and carrying the team. 60+% of my pay is bonus which makes tax season daunting and stressful.
