Pros

Very nice co-workers Gives me a place to be for 9-10 hrs a day

Cons

No raises Extreme micro- management Continuous layoffs leaving fewer people to not only handle the missing people's work, but also the all the extra work thrown at them through the consolidation of the businesses. Working for a boss who is extremely unprofessional with employees, forgets what direction is given one day & then rants like a lunatic the next day when you followed the orders. HR is a huge joke No opportunities for advancement

I am disappointed you did not have a good experience. We do have a compensation review process that has been in place for the past 12 months. Please feel free to contact me to discuss the rest of your concerns. I would appreciate the feedback. Thanks, David M. Pasternak Vice President, Human Resources Black Box

Pros

The data center work itself was interesting and there were opportunities to gain exposure to large-scale projects. Some coworkers on-site were supportive and hardworking.

Cons

Leadership and communication were extremely inconsistent. There was little structure, minimal training, and employees often felt like they were expected to figure things out on their own without proper support or mentorship. Workloads and expectations changed constantly depending on who you spoke to. The company talks about growth, but many employees are underutilized or not actually developed professionally. It often felt more reactive than organized, especially from upper management. Decisions were made with very little transparency, and morale suffered because of it. There was also a noticeable disconnect between corporate leadership and the realities of what was happening on-site. Many employees felt expendable rather than valued.
