Vantaggi

Interview process was great! Owner was willing to take time out of his weekend to interview which is unheard of. Company is very organized and rewards employees for their hard work.

Svantaggi

Has more micro management than any place I've ever been. Sends stress level very high especially for new employees. Owner expects employees to love the business as much as him. Expects you to stay late. Leaving at your scheduled time is looked down upon. You're in a call queue and there is no dispatch. You can be in the middle of a ticket and then have to take another call which is a big pain. If you need to leave a bit early or come in a bit late management expects you to stay late. We're talking maybe 10 minutes. Owner also has trust issues with new employees since they are remote. Will constantly "check in" and ask "What are you working on?" Expects you to escalate tickets in 30 minutes even if it's something that will definitely take more than 30 minutes. There are far less stressful places to work that pay more. No matter how slow it gets the owner expects you to find something to work on or else "your metrics will be affected." Owner expects you to stay late til you meet your 6.5 hours per day if you haven't met it that day. Even if you are begging your coworkers for something to do and they have nothing because business is dead.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about your experience with Parried. We are happy to hear you had a great interview process and that you recognize we do our best to accommodate schedules by being available to interviewees on weekends and evenings. In your review, you state that the owner expects you to love the business as much as he does and that employees have lives outside the company. We respect that and are unsure what gave you this impression. We believe it is essential to love what you do, as your passion translates to an overall positive experience for our customers and other team members. We're a very tight-knit team, and our successes speak to that. As for frequent check-ins, this is not a valid representation of the company or our efforts in wanting you to be successful here. This statement doesn't paint a fair picture of our employee onboarding and training efforts. Working remotely does require good communication, and the opposite could easily be said: "they don't check in enough, and it's a sink or swim environment." We want everyone to have a good experience working here and the first several weeks are critical to you learning and acclimating yourself to our style. Regarding our escalation process, this one is pretty standard to provide a better customer experience. If you're struggling with a ticket, we have guidelines and expectations to help you along the way. We do not see this as unfavorable and am unsure how one would see this as a negative either. As for staying late, anyone who has worked here knows this to be untrue. We frequently discuss work-life balance and are disappointed to have read this as it is the most untrue of all your statements. We address every review internally, and after reviewing yours several times over, we can only conclude your review to be from a disgruntled ex-team member, a competitor, or this was meant for the wrong company. Advice to Reviewer: If you did work at Parried and are upset things didn't work out for whatever reason, we hope you find what you're looking for that brings you happiness in life. If you work full-time somewhere, you're spending about 1/3 of your life at work, so it's important to enjoy the type of work you do, the environment, company, people, etc. Be a percipient and try to see things from others' perspectives. Be transparent. Ask questions. Speak with management and bring up your concerns. Don't harbor bad feelings; post about them in a review because you're otherwise upset. Give people the opportunity to help and understand you. Most conflicts can be solved in a meeting, especially in environments like ours where we have an open door and management is able, willing, and available to you. We wish you the best of luck and success in life; take care.

Vantaggi

-The team. We are comprised entirely of very intelligent, diligent and selfless individuals. I love working with this team because it truly feels like a team. Whether it's help with a complicated task, elevated access needs, helping one another meet scheduled client obligations or working to improve internal processes, tooling & documentation, collaboration with this team is as effortless as it is encouraged. -The clientele. We routinely work with the same folks and building chemistry and relationships with our clients has been one of the highlights of my time here. Tech problems can be an anxiety ridden experience for people, but our clients are always polite and professional. Some of them are even funny. -Scope of support. As an MSP we provide comprehensive IT solutions for a wide range of businesses and industries. Each client's environment is different from the next. For me personally, as someone who made a fairly recent a mid life career change, this exposure to a myriad of systems and platforms ensures I am learning and improving my skillset everyday, and adding value to my team. -Small but mighty! This team is small, making it easy to build chemistry with the entire team, even while working entirely remote. More importantly, it allows us to be agile in meeting our client and internal needs. We can quickly adapt to change. Process, tooling and documentation changes can be suggested and implemented swiftly without the bureaucratic red tape of a large corporation. -Organized! The detail Parried operates in is truly exceptional, and well thought out. There are very few instances where I won't know when, where, why or how to do anything. In those instances, I know I can count on my team.

Svantaggi

I'll never complain about working remotely, but sometimes I miss stealing other people's lunch.

Vantaggi

Great Benefits and co-workers. Management is always trying to adapt to changes within the industry and make sure employees have all the resources they need.

Svantaggi

Due to the remote nature of the job and call queue can make the slow periods fell extra slow and the busy periods feeling like you can't take a breath. Thankfully most of the time the work and day moves at a steady pace.
