The work and pay for my contract position was decent and meaningful, and at the time it seemed that my manager cared about my progress and eagerness to be promoted and earn a salary position.

The glaring issue is the many hoops that you have to jump through as an ePlus contractor in order to do simple things such as getting paid on time and vacation pay. You are expected to personally email your time sheet in addition to filling out the hours on the payroll site, and several emails are required (and often not responded to in a timely manner) in order to have time off or ask questions regarding pay, benefits, etc.

The other issue is the benefits, which might as well have been nonexistent. It is okay if you are someone in perfect health with no preexisting conditions, but for anyone else you will be expected to pay out of pocket for most any medication related to mental illness or any procedure that needs to be done whether it be physical or dental. To summarize my experience, I had dental work done while using their benefits, and overall their insurance paid for less than 10% of the cost with the rest being out of pocket or a loan.

Finally, you can expect absolutely zero job security while being a contractor for them. They can and WILL let you go whenever the company contracting them deems that you are expendable or cost too much money to keep, and they will do so without any prior notice and no reason provided. I was promoted in January, which came with a pay raise, and four days before the start of the new fiscal year in July my contract was terminated with no warning or explanation provided despite positive feedback and 1.5 years of hard work.

they want to keep you stuck in a role so you don't advanced forward. they treat their help desk employees like call center agents. they lie to you about the position in the beginning to get you to sign the contract which is a 2 and a half year contract.

 everytime you ask management for any information or assistance for growth opportunities it's the same result. "there's no where to move up or over", but somehow management has had three promotions in the last year months. 

Spent over 6 months trying to get a raise that I rightfully deserved only reason I got it is because i had to keep hounding them about it. in the end all i got was a 40 cent raise after completing over 8,000 tickets. 

not to mention management taking credit for other peoples work. they make you the scapegoat for any issues that arise instead of acknowledging the real issue at hand and the moment you may get credit for your work management will steal that away from you acting like they did the job the entire time. 

this company is a joke if i knew what i know now i would staying far away. not worth my time or energy in the end.

The management, C-suite execs, and culture are awesome at ePlus. Everyone is very "open door" and encourages cooperation across all different areas of the company. As expected, the technology and IT department are by far the best that I ever ever experienced. They are very accommodating to parents and caregivers and have a very "work-to-live" culture rather than a "live-to"work" expectation. A lot of employees are remote, and working from home has long been allowed even before COVID. 

The biggest issues stem from the lackluster benefits and compensation. In some areas of the company, it is much easier to advance (sales) whereas other areas (pretty much everywhere else) it is nearly impossible. The pay is incredibly below market rates for almost every department (except, again, sales). The benefits are non-existent. Health/dental is average, and PTO is fine. Any other benefits--401k match, parental leave, etc.--are either incredibly low or not there at all. I was shocked when I found out that maternity and paternity leave was not offered... you have to use your PTO, which is anywhere from 2-3 weeks. 

So if work/life is priority, this is the place to be. If benefits, growth, pay are your priority, this place is not it. 

I learned a lot! Accounting for leasing is very different than any other accounting activities. I used dedicated software such as Lease+, or Sagent, and distinct jobs, such as discounting leases. 
The co-workers are extremely well trained, very accomplished, and team-workers. The financial reporting group that I was a part of, is the "last resort" of the corporation in order to adjust and reconcile B/S and I/S accounts for quarter-end and year-end reports for auditors and shareholders. 
Management is professional and close to the staff. It's a business culture that impress me in every way. 
Hardest part of the job was dealing with external auditors due to the specificity of EPlus and leasing accounting which is so peculiar. 
There were many instances when I really loved this working place, from pot luck events to sports events that were organized by the management of EPlus Inc.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Resigning to find a better job elsewhere with opportunities for growth and salary increases.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with the knowledge that the only way to advance in my field was to stay for a limited amount of time.  Once I left, I took a similar role in a different company, and in the last two years, I have doubled my salary, certifications, and now a top tier in my department.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We are all silos.  Unless you’re related to someone there it’s hard to advance. 
Key players get repeated “kudos” weekly. Always the same people and with constant email blasts for all to see.


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work hard do my best and move on

The Management I worked for and worked with at eplus needs to be more open to ideas which can help the company grow. What i learned working at eplus was that no matter what you do ot how many hours you put in or what a great job you do, if you are not buddy up or agree to everything your manager says you will be cut from the team. Also that Nepotism is very still alive at eplus, I did get to work with some pretty cool people but none of them were on my team. Matter fact they wanted to see me gone that they made up lies and management agreed with them. Again, no one is policing them...so they do what they want. Like I was told, "is the eplus way, we have done it like this for over 8 years..." yeah, but it goes against your own process...wow! Even then you can't win.

One word, stagnation. If you are trying to advance in your early career here it’s not happening unless you got friends in management and even then don’t expect any real chances to open up unless you meet requirements for senior positions. You have an annual review which is supposed to be part of the determination for your raise. Expect to wait nearly six months for that or even the end of the year if you even get one. Even when you go above and beyond don’t get your hopes up for a big raise.

A typical day at Eplus was either receiving/shipping product for a customer or staging equipment for upgrading, testing, and configuring. Sometimes it'd be slow, but most times it was busy with me and my coworkers in the warehouse pulling need to materials for the next TR(telecom-room) or boxing up finished switches and servers and collecting cables for installment.
I learned things from the differences between each switch and their uses to how to upgrade/configure them correctly from the steps and what each one did to the switch or sever as well as the importance.

I process vendor invoices and bill out product and services for my company. I've learned a lot about working 9-5 after years of being a full time musician. My co-workers work as a team and everyone helps each other out when needed. There are times when we work really intensely to get our work done but we work together and get it done. I like the problems that come up and like putting on my detective hat to figure them out. I'd recommend my company to anyone looking for a nice sized business with good benefits, a happy work place and job opportunities.
