GXA Response

First, I want to apologize for my late response. To be honest, because of our ambitious goals and fast growth over the years, I admit that I hadn’t made it a priority as the President to read and respond to reviews left by former team members. As we have continued to grow and now that we have a bigger team and more support, my role is morphing, I am more focused on serving my team, building relationships internally/externally, creating a better work community and serving our Grander mission by using GXA as a vehicle to empower the next generation through philanthropy. Over the last year, more and more of our team members have caught the vision of GXA, they are now finding ways to live their passion daily by serving communities locally and internally. For example some of our team members have taken personal mission trips to Puerto Rico and Kenya and several have served locally here in Dallas during their personal times. GXA is also sending two of our team members to Nigeria for 2 weeks to experience international missions. Alicia and I are humbled by the fact that an idea that started 16 years ago by two young newlyweds in a small apartment is finally becoming a reality. Our team members are coalescing around the vision, carrying it out and taking it as their own! Our clients’ experience has also significantly improved. Our CSAST score over the last 12 months has averaged over 97%, our client retention rate is at an all-time high, more than 70% of our clients’ tenure is at 3+ years and several clients at over 12 years. The MSP business can be tough but our loyal and committed team has taken the challenge head-on. They continue to demonstrate that you can run a successful IT services business, use your profits and time to serve those who are less fortunate around the world and still deliver Best-In-Class IT that empowers hard working small businesses to grow and compete in an ever-challenging global market! Thank you for leaving us a review. We will continue to learn with each feedback and improve how we serve our team, our clients and our community.

Pros

Employees are treated like valued members. Owners care a lot about giving back and social responsibility. Company supports local and international missions and nonprofit organizations Leadership goes to great length to identify training opportunities and continued development for the team, partnering with state of Texas t provide technical skills training and brought Tony Robbins Training to help team members with personal development. Managers challenge the team, have high expectations and accountability. Open door policy and feedback accepted from the top down. Company has a diversity of clients, multiple vertical industries bringing a variety of experiences to employees.

Cons

Nature of working at an MSP, it can get chaotic at times. Company has procedures and process to help manage workload but there is always more to do

Pros

Exposure to a variety of clients, technologies, and business environments. Many talented individuals at different stages of their careers throughout the organization who genuinely wanted to improve things.

Cons

High turnover made it difficult to maintain consistency, retain institutional knowledge, and mature internal processes. Documentation standards were inconsistent, and efforts to improve them often struggled to gain lasting adoption across the organization. Resources were frequently stretched thin, placing additional pressure on existing staff while making long-term operational improvements difficult to sustain. Over time, this contributed to growing frustration and declining morale. The culture often felt more focused on discussion than execution. There were frequent meetings, conversations, and alignment efforts, but meaningful action and follow-through did not always keep pace. Priorities shifted regularly, direction could be inconsistent, and ownership was not always clearly defined, creating confusion and unnecessary rework. Leadership emphasized accountability and performance, but not always the support, resources, or organizational alignment needed to achieve those expectations successfully. Constructive feedback did not always appear to receive equal consideration, and influence often seemed tied to alignment with existing leadership perspectives and company culture. Overall, excessive bureaucracy, unclear ownership, inconsistent execution, and limited investment in sustainable process improvement made progress feel slower and more difficult than it needed to be.
