Pros

Working as a Client Advisor at Synoptek has been an enriching experience overall. The company provides exposure to a wide variety of industries and clients, which keeps the work dynamic and intellectually rewarding. I’ve had the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with clients while also learning from highly skilled colleagues across different functions. Synoptek places strong emphasis on teamwork, collaboration, and delivering value to customers. This makes the role both challenging and fulfilling. One of the highlights is the opportunity to grow professionally. Synoptek encourages employees to expand their knowledge and adapt to evolving client needs, which has helped me sharpen my technical and business skills. The organization is fast-paced, so it’s a good fit for those who thrive in an environment where adaptability and problem-solving are essential. Exposure to a wide variety of clients and industries, keeping the work engaging and never repetitive Collaborative culture with supportive colleagues who are willing to share expertise Leadership that is approachable and invested in employee development Strong focus on client success, which gives purpose and meaning to the role Continuous opportunities for professional growth and skill-building A dynamic, fast-paced environment that keeps you sharp and adaptive

Cons

Workloads can be heavy at times, though this comes with the benefit of gaining more experience quickly Processes and priorities can shift rapidly, requiring adaptability and strong time management skills The fast-paced environment may feel intense for those not accustomed to constant change, but it does accelerate learning and career growth

Pros

-The staff in general is pretty great, some good people work here. -Beer via Kegerator in the kitchen. -Nerf guns? Honestly it's hard to come up with any work related pros.............

Cons

I have given years to this place, and every time I push for change I'm told, "Just be happy you have a job." At this point I'm so burned out and defeated, I have no idea what the future holds for me. I can honestly say Synoptek has killed any drive for me working in the world of computers, I seek no progression. For now this place is just a paycheck. Pretty much in every aspect, Synoptek is not doing well. Employee moral is at an all time low, primarily due to lack of proper compensation and poor management. Financial issues are everywhere, which is odd since we recently acquired what was left of EarthLink for 29 million dollars. Yea that actually happened, Google it. Current contact-locked clients are very disappointed with the support structure, which in turn hurts the company image. It appears all Synoptek has to offer to clients is smoke and mirrors, lies and deception. One of many examples, we on-boarded a client that needed their own SAN. The client refused since it would come at great expense. What was the Sales Team answer to secure that contact and get the commission? Well migrate all the client data to our own nearly full SAN of course. For months, yes months, our ENTIRE SAN environment crashed at random. The Server team was constantly thrown through the meat grinder even though many on the team said this would happen. We hemorrhaged clients left and right until management finally got a clue to expand the SAN. The fact this situation even happened is mind-blowing to me. Here at Synoptek, severe issues like this happen all the time. We lost good people because of that terrible judgment. I can go on for ages about all the bad this place has to offer. Read some of the other reviews, see what people have to say. Its obvious anything 5 star was written by management or a corporate pet. Do yourself a solid and stay away from this place.

Pros

Seriously, none to speak of.

Cons

Unethical “leadership”, depressing outlook, even the most evangelistic employees are leaving. It’s so sad, I can’t watch it any longer.
