Pros

There are some good people working at Purple Guys. They do a great job dealing with customer IT issues.

Cons

Management will send mixed messages. Tell you one thing one day, then when you follow those guidelines will change the guidelines the next day. The owner will always concede to the customer and throw you under the bus to make the owner look good. He talks a good game but is very duplicitous.

The Purple Guys Response

Over the last 2 years we have been implementing EOS/Traction. This has improved our overall clarity and communication throughout the team. Defining clear objectives every quarter and creating transparency across our team. This also created change and increased accountability for everyone, especially the management team. Evolving as a team and improving our culture are an ongoing process. We are always disappointed when a team member leaves and we wish them well in their next endeavor.

Pros

Joined The Purple Guys a little over a year ago. I am constantly impressed by the people I work with and the direction of the organization.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly which may mean a lot of changes this may not be ideal for folks who don't shift quickly.

Pros

Getting paid for time outside of shift, friendly colleagues for the most part If you work overtime your time you get paid automatically. You do learn alot working in an MSP.

Cons

Highly deceptive management tells you your performance is good then blindsides you by telling falsified information to higher management. Also, manager was still expecting me to work during my PTO which was extremely unprofessional. TPG was recently brought out by a larger MSP and pays lower salaries. The company is definitely moving into a different company and let's just say that this company is good for building experience and moving into a better company role with a different company. Also TPG has a high turnover and they is nepotism/favoritism. There are very little people of color and if you are a person of color you will have to deal with racist mircro agressions. I largely think that they have a race quota and only hire to fire in a short period of time. TO ANYONE WHO MAY FEEL SINGLE OUT... IF U GET GOOD PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS INITIALLY SAVE ALL OF THEM AND FORWARD TO PERSONAL E-MAIL. THE MANAGERS delete e-mails out of your tpg mailbox so be careful! Also, the system that they provide the techs with is low quality and was not always reliable.Alot of what the previous reviewers mentioned is very much still accurate currently. High turnover as well.
