You will be traveling almost 100%. Depending on where the location client site is, you may be driving or flying every Monday or Sunday. Come home on Thursdays. Go lives you will work 2 weeks straight. Money is great and am reimbursed for all travel, meals, mileage, etc. when traveling. Downfall is not having a normal life outside of job. No sense of a normal job at this company because always on the road. May never meet other employees unless attending Holiday party. 

Job is very stressful since at client site and are billing all your time to the client. Under constant pressure to meet deadlines and perform. 

Management could be better. Constantly under budget the projects and when voice your concern about that it falls on deaf ears. Meal per diems are not up to the government rate per city of travel. 
Not allowed to bill or consider travel time part of your work week. 

Small company so they do care about you but need to reevaluate how the Business Applications Group can improve.

My typical day at the office includes developing and maintaining great relationships with customers and vendors. I have learned that it takes great discipline and self-control to work in sales. I have great support from management and my co-workers.  The hardest part of my job is the sometimes lack of team work.  My most enjoyable part of my job is helping people fix their IT problems. When our relationship has grown into a friendship of trust and respect, it's the best. 

Venture was basically a typical IT company, they had a lot of offerings to customize solution, but there was no training or any account list. basically you had to start with nothing and build a book of business. There was no development of employees and no path for advancement. The long term employees had the best accounts and cultivated them and basically the new employees had to start from nothing.

This is actually the best job I have ever had. I were able to work on computers and travel two things I love to do. I would still be there if it wasn't for me being in school at the time of hire. It was hard to travel and go to school. All in all they did their best to work around my schedule at all cost. Even though there were times that my school and the location I had to be at would be on the same days.

Company has grown through a series of acquisitions that give a wide variance in experience based off of where employees are located. Highly recommend getting a hard answer on what the firm is looking to do in the market you are being sent to and what their expectations of you are and how they are planning on helping you achieve those target goals.

Great group of people. Enjoyed the variety of the tasks required.  Enjoyed utilizing my skills in Cisco and customer service. I worked with many of my co-workers for years at previous company.  All in all great company.

Venture is a great place to work and learn a lot about different technologies quickly. They help lots of customers daily, they also have a Data Center in Jackson that is staffed 24/7/365.  Working for the Data Center involves very long hours.

I learned the most from my job here. I loved the work but I traveled all the time. I was learning new things daily and advancing my knowledge and career. I had opportunities from large project to very small with varied technologies.

The CFO was a wonderful man trying to right the ship in spite of awful mismanagement by other in charge. Terrible policies (non-existant) and in no way was the position I applied for what i wound up doing.

Constantly busy, no day was the same. Always, had challenges to overcome. The culture was fun, when you had free time. Worked a lot of extra hours. The co-workers where the best I've ever worked with.
