Salute Mission Inc.

Pros:

Salute Mission Critical transforms our team members into world-class data center technicians and as a result, is a premier IT Data Center Lifecycle services company. Clients around the world rely on Salute to deploy, manage, and decommission data center sites with consistently high-quality results.

Our teams are maturing to be much more strategic thought partners to the business and our clients. This such a great time to be at a company when you can get your fingerprints all over a new way of working. Growth into positions of leadership is there for those that seek it!

We have an incredibly flat organization with strong benefits, PTO, 401k, and limitless professional advancement opportunities...

Veteran hires are the core of our business model. They bring diversity, specialized training, and countless intangible skills into the civilian workplace.

Communication within our ranks is paramount. All employees have direct lines of communication with the CEO and everyone in between.

We are a Meritocracy at our core. We will continue to embrace, reward, and promote our team members on the basis of talent, effort, and achievement.

Cons:

We are a growth mode organization. Those looking for the underpinnings of larger bureaucratic organizations will have to be fleetfooted to adapt.

Personal responsibility and accountability are not an elective, they are the expectation.

We are a Meritocracy at our core. Those looking to punch a clock and be put out to pasture will remain there.

This company has you work with some of the most unmotivated individuals. Not only have they cultivated a hostile work environment where no one showing respect is the daily norm, just expecting your coworkers to “do their job” is too high of an expectation apparently. Aside from that there is Terrible management at this company ran by people with no experience that were thrown into management roles at lower pay rates so the company could remain cheap and exploit its workers. And to those with drive/ambition, if you’re looking for quick advancement within the company this is 100% NOT the place as they will make you waste years of your life and only offer you a $1 dollar raise at best, if they decide they even WANT to give it to you since they enjoy paying their workers low wages. Within this company there is blatant favoritism towards certain employees/management. They not only award tardiness at the expense of their employees time but they also completely disregard anyone who has punctuality or strives to maintain their work life balance. This job will have you work 12 hour shifts then after try to have you to STAY an hour or 2 LATE then have you COMEBACK 4 hours later all of a sudden to COVER a night shift because they’ll claim They couldn’t find coverage and NEED you to cover. Do yourself a favor and don’t work for this mediocre company.

Working in accounting for Salute has been incredible. I’ve gotten the opportunity to come in do intentional hiring and build my own team to train and support. Opportunities for growth seem never ending as the company continues to make profitable and strategic decisions. We bring in experts and consultants to help and assist with training. The software available to me comes with more accesible options than I’ve ever encountered before and really has automated my workflow and given me a chance for true work life balance. We work internationally which is extra special because it fosters a truly inclusive and kind work culture open to seeing how our coworkers live in other parts of the world and the value they bring to each project. Plenty of leadership and networking opportunities as well. This is the first company I’ve worked for that focused on mental health awareness and participation events and suicide prevention workshops. The veteran inclusivity is also incredible, we’re driving major statistics for veteran hires which I’m proud to be a part of. And they have a women in leadership group also!

Salute has been a blessing. I worked for over a decade in a high intensity industry, often working 12 hours a day 7 days a week. Salute has allowed me to use my business and management experience to pursue a quality of life that I had never had the opportunity to have before.  
Although I am not a military veteran I have benefited from the structured environment, self managed training programs, and team focused mentality of the company.  
The company has been very flexible with any and all reasonable requests I have made for scheduling, time off, and attending events.  
The pay is good, the advancement opportunity is incredible, and the add value and servant leadership mindsets make this an incredible company to work for.
Everything we do stems from a core value to benefit the client, the company, and our staff with everything that we do.
I'm a proud member of the Salute Mission Critical Team and look forward to growing with this quickly expanding company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
None you’re treated as expendable starting at day one. Constantly required to do managerial duties for inexperienced management staff.  They don’t hire for experience they hire buddies and expect trained/experienced staff to train with no compensation. If you like doing your job and everyone else’s job and not get paid for it then work here. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Hiring process states shift of 7am to 4pm but it’s 10/4 shifts unusually, new hires start off with a day shift but then are required to work nights/weekends. With little to no experience. 
Management also lacks experience to complete their own tasks let alone yours. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, Gossip, Drama, job is easy coworkers and management make it unbearable. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Unorganized, inexperienced people, relying on Google searches or YouTube videos to instruct you on how to do your job.

Management was horrendous at the job site. Team lead never showed up on time, always left early, never discussed anything with any new hires, and if you like working the team leads mess up on the schedule dont work here. Especially when your team lead lives the closest out of all the members of the team. Take ownership. 

No drug tests were done, paper filled weeks after working there. No pay on promised pay dates. I didnt get paid for almost a whole month. 

The work wasn't hard at all, but even the team leads boss and his boss didnt know what was going on at the site. Also didnt have a guard card to obtain this job and wasnt given any instructions to get one at any point in time. Which I later found out could be a 1000.00 fine to me and a 10k fine to the company. They never give you a solid answer about anything, and management likes to blame others for there down falls. I would highly recommend you stay away from this company if you dont want to be lied to and messed with constantly.

I patiently tried to give this company time to change, evolve and improve from some notable issues and absurdly high turnaround.   Management is non-responsive and has no idea about the actual work involved.  They are nearly completely disconnected from being on-site and involved with the staff on-site doing the actual work.  The work itself is easy when there is work but they struggle to provide consistent work meaning getting sent home without pay and little to no notice.  I highly recommend looking at the handful of competitors in this market and choosing one of those companies first.  Salute won't provide you adequate training, safety equipment, or any sort of procedure/structure unless they are somehow forced to by events.      

I started off as a cleaner within various data centers, and have received promotions based on my work there. The company aggressively promotes from within, and (from all the promotions I've seen) promote based on merit, instead of nepotism. 

There are opportunities for travel (and hence travel entitlements) which make traveling a welcome experience. PTO, medical/dental, and free money for traveling are solid benefits. All of this while working 7-4, M-F.

Lastly, I've received a large amount of training from the company, allowing me to gain skills that would have taken me a considerable amount of time and money to learn on my own. 

If you're willing to work, learn, and participate in a team, Salute is a great choice to start your career in the data center field.

What is the best part of working at the company?
If you're looking to be content and have no aspirations to be anything more than just a "worker bee" this is the best place for you. I wouldn't say the pay is decent but it's not horrible, there is just no options to succeed and work your way up the ladder. Probably a good job for someone without kids and single, living at home with their parents. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No stress, no worries it's just a mindless job. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's not bad, corporate does what they can to help as long as you stay in your lane and don't want more. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Boring then a break then more boredom, leading to a little more boredom before you get to go home. If you're lazy and want a boring easy job apply here.

Salute MC is a young company that is oriented towards military veterans. As a young company, I have seen the growing pains first hand. Even with those challenges, the people at Salute have been great to work with. It is a company that believes in promoting from within if possible. Practices meritocracy. Pushes for their employees to get certs and attend college. Salute will even help pay for certain certs if it's related to your job. For the most part, it is a collaborative, not a competitive environment. People genuinely want to help each other be successful, not tear them down. Finding a company like that, especially a newer one, is very rare in my experience. Again, no company is perfect but if you share the above values, I would definitely recommend working here.
