I absolutely love working for QTS. I have had the privilege of working in 5 different industries for 6 different companies throughout my career, and I can honestly say that QTS is unique. In a good way. The leadership cares. They are present and supportive and empowering and they hold true to their core values of Integrity and Character and Trust. QTS understands that you have a personal life and that family is important. You are expected to work hard and get results, but I have never worked for a company that is so supportive and team oriented. And this is unusual to say, but I LOVE working for my boss. He provides support when I need it, and lets me run when I don't.
I plan to retire from this company.
Cons
The company is growing very fast, so be prepared to wear a few hats. If you are the type of person who likes to be in a silo with one area of focus, you will have a tough time growing with QTS.

Wow! Thank you for being part of our strong Texas team! We truly are powered by our people and you are a perfect example of that. I appreciate the advice, and although decentralizing functions is not on our roadmap at this time, looking for ways to grow our Texas QTSers is a top priority for me. I hope you will reach out to me directly with any ideas or further feedback. Thank you for choosing to be part of our QTS family.

The company has continued to find new ways to increase retention. Have a great team and feel supported by management. Just added a new equity program along with already existing stock purchase program.
Cons
Limited amount of work from home days allocated per employee. No car bonus or reimbursement for tolls on commute to work.

We appreciate the review! It's encouraging to hear you're excited about our new equity program, "Together We Grow." When QTS is successful, everyone is successful!
QTS recognizes that work flexibility is important and employees are encouraged to utilize all 52 work-from-home days every year. This does not include days when the unexpected occurs, like picking up a sick child from school, running home to take care of an immediate need, falling ill, etc. Thank you for your feedback and contributions to QTS!
Servant Leadership - Folks will lean in to help you resolve issues.
Fluid workflow - There are opportunities to work with other workgroups when you have spare capacity to grow your knowledge/experience into other areas.
Rampant Growth - Industry as a whole is expanding very fast. Giving new opportunities for movement
Environmental stewards - Leader in sustainable data centers with closed loop cooling.
Community driven - Constantly have volunteer opportunities available and actively looking for more
Teamwork - From at work, to at home; Your coworkers, managers, and executives actually care about you. They want to know who you are and are genuine in their interactions. CEO's will actively strive to learn your name... so it still has the small company vibe, but it is getting bigger fast.
Cons
Growing pains - Rapid growth and expansion have left some policies in need of polishing/creating. With the rapid growth there is upward mobility that leaves production vacuums behind.
Good/Bad - the expansion doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
