Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Miles is a great place to learn, grow, and hone your skills. They are looking for career minded people, and have had a problem with turnover in the past, so respond accordingly when asked."

What don't you like about working at Miles Technologies?

"The base pay was in the bottom quartile of the industry, in a state which is in the upper quartile for cost of living. Management seems oblivious to this, thinking they're offering 'competetive' wages. The small company atmosphere and generally young workforce mean Miles can occasionally be in their own world without realizing it. Sometimes that's good. Sometimes it's not good."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Move Chris out of Sales and into Operations. Sales is overrepresented in key leadership positions, which is a self-perpetuating cycle in most companies, and is even more pronounced in an IT company, where Operations is mostly comprised of less charismatic people. Chris is charismatic and dynamic enough to swing the entire dynamic one way or the other all by himself.Think of it this way; if the product is good enough, you don't need a hard sell. If the product quality drops enough, no amount of selling will succeed. Chris needs to be focused on product quality, not sales."
