Made me the Salesperson I am today
|
|
The CEO was great mentor to me. He recognized a fire and desire in me to always win and nurtured that and developed me to help me become a top achieving Account manager in my current field.
|
I have no cons, but have read several in other's reviews. I would have to say these are likely from people who can't take constructive criticism and don't want accountability in their performance. You do your job, you will be rewarded. If you don't well that's on you.

Hard work pays off here....
|
|
I have worked with TruTechnical Partners for some time now. Your job is what you make of it. I see these old reviews of people that never gave it their ALL. I can tell you from experience, any company that you go to, show your value and show that the best interest go to the company as a whole and you will be rewarded.
There are always opportunities for growth. Going on 6-years+ with the company, I am proud to be here.
|
Need better menu for lunch. =)
The company is too easy-going on people who work with TruTechnical Partners and they end up taking advantage.

Vet your candidates better. All the bad reviews are people who had bad or no guidance from previous management and took advantage of some the perks in the office.

Dreadful company, work elsewhere
|
|
Pros:
- create your own schedule
- generous PTO
- option to work from home occasionally
- nice coworkers
- reasonable quota
|
Cons:
- dreadful management
- CEO does not honor promised benefits
- hostile work environment
- low salary (compared to average entry level sales positions in the area)
- no company culture
- no upward mobility
- CEO is a micromanager
I wish I had looked at Glassdoor before accepting my job offer here.
*worst part: being told I would be fired if I didn't meet quota when I was meeting quota every week
Truman, the company CEO, makes many promises he will not keep.
- I was told I would be paid for my training prior to work, completed my training and was never paid.
- I had to ask every week about my commission checks (supposed to be directly deposited bi-weekly) I got them the day I quit.
- I had paperwork ready for my 401k but said I wasn't eligible until specific date (past 90 days) which prevented me from enrolling
Little to no training provided (was supposed to get paid for it, I was never paid), expected sales reps to "just get it" by spending time with the engineers or asking them questions - he rarely answered technical questions.
Truman also has no idea how discuss the technology he sells. You'll hear him say "I don't know the tech, that's for my engineers to understand" - not a good way to get people to trust you to manage their IT.
Dishonest company: overcharges for services, lies about what the engineers are capable of completing, completely overwhelms and overbooks them, promises fixed services rates - he changes them based on how much he thinks a company is willing to pay.
CEO "doesn't believe in Yelp or Glassdoor reviews" I wonder why...

Worst company, but wisdom gained
|
|
This place is one of those example companies one needs to experience in their lifetime to gain wisdom and discover that this is not how a business should operate and who NOT to be. Owner is super chummy during his interview with you and when offering a job, but turns around and treats you like his slaved peon soon after you're in. A job not for the long term, nor for the faint of heart. You gain experience and learn to be a better person in whatever career field..sales, marketing, IT. A stepping stone to something far better.
|
The owner promises sales people a monthly recurring revenue for contracts you bring in but within 3 months or less, he'll let you go, taking the business you bring in, so he doesn't have to pay the commission he initially promised.

Instead of hiring sales people to cold call and shanking them from the commission you promised while you sit in your office watching TV all day long, don't hire sales people at all and MAKE COLD CALLS YOURSELF.

Thumbs Down
|
|
It is a small office so there are not a lot of clients or employees to work with which makes it easier to form relationships.
|
Years of high turn over which indicates that there are management issues with this company. Owner and senior management need to figure out why they cannot keep their staff.

Cheap CEO attracts cheap clients
|
|
Good experience if you are just starting in consulting
|
CEO/sales make promises that are impossible for engineers to keep. Cheap outlook attracts cheap customers. Management does not value the engineers at all.

it is a place to learn and try new things on clients which you wouldn't be allowed to implement elsewhere.

Everything else.
Don't work here... I was warned, but didn't listen.... now so are you, please listen!
He tries to pay under federal minimum for travel because "that is how much he pays."
Luckily he is now required to pay sick time, but its totally possible he will deduct sick time from PTO...
Also if you need benefits, they are a joke! He promised a 401k and i had the paperwork in the first day. HR didn't know how to do it and he never paid anything in, in over a year. One more Lie from Tru Tech.
Truman isn't technical, he doesn't understand terms, forgets what he said so always get everything in writing, he changes his mind constantly by what is cheapest not what is best practice, and blames employees for his mistakes.
He will say that his employees "aren't the sharpest tool in the shed," which really makes you want to work hard.
The workplace is homophobic and some of the emails/pictures other techs/Truman will send around are extremely offensive.
"IT Management," is just the most senior person there not the most technical or skilled at management.
Sales will sell things the technical staff can't provide/doesn't know how too do.
Worst of all he LIES to customers and is quite dishonest; this practice shows in the declining client base.
Having to lie to a client, for fear of loosing your job, makes for a BAD work environment.

Being cheap and lying will get you nowhere quick in this world.
You are lucky you haven't been sued for data loss, breach of contract, hostile work environment, or just straight up lying to a customer.
Pay for good staff and you will get good results.

Cheapest company I've ever worked for!
|
|
Its a stepping stone company and not much more! Some of the people were good people, some of the clients were fun to work with.
|
The owner is a very cheap person. He doesn't believe in sick pay or pay you for any time off. You get two weeks vacation a year TOTAL. But you do not earn any time off until after 90 days, which is complete and total BS. People worked that time and should have accrued time off. The clients are unhappy (and not shy about sharing it) because they see a new tech or "engineer" every other month because the turnover is so high. While most employers give their staff holiday days off, like day after thanksgiving, day after Christmas, the owner makes you come into the office and work, despite most of the companies clients being closed. I saw a tremendous amount of turnover and many under paid, under skilled workers (sold to clients as engineers) pass thru at a high rate.

Stop being so cheap and treat employees with a little more respect. You wouldn't have such high turnover if you cared more about your people. You need these folks to help make you money, without them you would not be able to be in business so stop treating them like doormats! Your clients would be happier and stay on longer as well!
