Terrible Place to Work - would give no stars

Pros

Unlimited PTO (everyone abuses it because the work culture is awful and toxic due to upper management), a bonus and no on-call, but READ the "CONS"

Cons

First: This company under pays many of its "US" employees (LEAVE after a year or two). Second: Your raise will be awful (less than a dollar increase - doesn't match inflation even though they claim to be profiting over 300 million USD). Third: A large portion of its workforce is from the Philippines (they do this to save money/profit and buy other companies to acquire talent, because they cannot maintain boundaries with many of their US employees - *most end up resigning, leave for better pay, better work-life balance, etc.*) Fourth: The C-Level management tells everyone to write a "positive" review of the company and asks to review it before you post it here on Glassdoor. Fifth: The company uses active track (*monitors your activity - key logs, time away, etc.*) and has HR ask for your account info so THEY can sign in and register you to take certifications. Sixth: They have a history of preventing talent from working elsewhere - they will give you a negative review and/or try to get you fired. Plus, upper management micromanages and makes you take the fall when C-Level management screws up. Seventh: Many of these "positive" reviews should be viewed with a grain of salt. In addition, I would list other cons about this company, but I would be here all day.

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback about your experience. However, you have made several incorrect conclusions about our business practices. For example, while it’s true that approximately 15% of our workforce is international, this is because we provide 24x7 services and due to certain countries being a 6 to 12-hour off-set from Eastern Time, we can staff around the clock client service. Some of our most talented resources are internationally based and we are proud to have them on our team and to be executing on one of our core operating principles of embracing diversity. Additionally, our voluntary employee retention rate over the last year is ~95%, which is above the industry average. To discuss this and the other concerns mentioned, I would really appreciate it if you could reach out to me at abeadle@sourcepass.com so that they can be addressed.

Pros

Provided me perspective on what to avoid in a future employer.

Cons

As another review already stated, Sourcepass actively solicits employees to write these positive reviews. Any review written before 2022 was written for NST of Long Island, before it was acquired by Sourcepass, and therefore does not pertain to current ownership. I was also one of the unlucky technicians that was brought onboard as part of an outside acquisition. Before Sourcepass, my company was one of the rare breeds of companies that exist in this country; compassionate and people-focused. Growth was steady, sustainable, and beneficial for both the company and our clients, which was reflected by the (lack of) turnover rate that we boasted. Unfortunately, those 20+ years of work, growth, dedication, and compassion were squandered by selling out to Sourcepass. Chuck Canton, the CEO, is plainly out of touch with reality. Chuck comes from privilege and money. His father, Stephen Canton, founded iCore Networks, which happens to be the first company Chuck worked at out of college. As iCore's Vice President, Chuck was involved with the sale of the company to Vonage. And thus began Chuck Canton's pattern of purchasing companies, artificially inflating their value, then boasting about his "success" as a businessman. The truth is, Chuck Canton has had his career handed to him, and the companies he so proudly claims to have grown are nothing more than vehicles through which Chuck can rapidly fundraise investments from his other wealthy peers. On its face, Sourcepass claims to be customer focused, but this could not be further from the truth. After the transition, we not only lost half of our employees, but we also lost a handful of longtime clients. Morale was nonexistent by the time I departed due to a variety of changes, including heavy micromanagement and countless broken promises from upper management. At the end of the day, Sourcepass and all of its acquisitions are simply stamps in Chuck's capitalist passport; trophies to be displayed when pitching to prospective businesses and investors. There is so much more I could write, but for now I will leave you with this: part of me feels sorry for the business owners who decided to sell their small MSP's to Sourcepass. I know that Chuck has a way of selling his desire to become the "Walmart of IT providers" to small business owners. Perhaps they believe his success story. Maybe they truly believe that they have a shot at seeing the kind of wealth that Chuck was born into. But the other part of me feels no sympathy for business owners who sold out a company of loyal and trusted employees and clients, people who became akin to family, people who stuck around for decades- - not for the money, but for the love and passion they had for their workplace, their colleagues, and their clients. I wish nothing but the best for my former colleagues who chose to stick around. If you're considering applying to Sourcepass, don't. And try not to listen to those who continue to drink the Kool Aid and push the "the MSP grind isn't for everyone" rhetoric. I promise you, there are other MSP's that actually care about their clients and employees, that can actually put their money where their mouth is and have the decades of experience to show for it. Compassion and humanity can exist in this business, don't let these (conveniently timed) glowing reviews convince you that you have to settle for being exploited by your employer in order to succeed. Take it from myself and the other 15+ employees that quit shortly after the acquisition, we are so much better off now.

Pros

Unlimited PTO and remote work

Cons

The company as a whole is incredibly disorganized. Some weeks, I would know what to do, and other weeks, I had zero direction for my work. I was with a company that was acquired. We were told the changes would be implemented slowly. Life went on as usual until it radically changed after three months. My coworkers were being dropped left and right without even any notice. Not that it was any of my business, but about once a week, I found out a close colleague had been let go. When this was addressed on a team call, one of the managers of my pod said, "I'm sorry if this upsets you all, but the only advice I can give is to deal with it." Management often threatens employees with being written up for policies many of us didn't know about. Utilization scores make zero sense. The numbers they asked us to meet were possible for some weeks and impossible for others. Low percentages were a result of not receiving work, which left me living in fear of losing my job. I once spent three weeks asking for work to do which I was never given. I did not get laid off. I decided to leave because I couldn't stand to be there any longer. If you are part of a company that is being acquired, I don't think there is anything wrong with giving it a shot. I hope you'll have a different experience than I had. But I recommend not waiting too long to get out if things are going south for you.
