Pros

Bluehost is a great company to technical skills. They are constantly striving for technical excellence. They have some of the highest paid kernel, perl, and web developers in the state. The average tech at Bluehost moves on to a much higher level in their next company. Admittedly some techs never catch on, but that is because they never take advantage of the training and they think they deserve a promotion for longevity over skill. If you want to be a technical genius and grow then this is the place.

Cons

Outside a higher than average pay check there are not too many perks. Some of the guys don't like it. I for one prefer seeing all my perks in my pay.

Pros

Decent pay. Good place to learn about Linux and web hosting. Their benefits are okay.

Cons

They promote their friends above the hard workers. They are more concerned about numbers than quality. They want X amount of sign-ups per day/week/month and are not concerned about customer retention. Their marketing plan seems desperate. (Unlimited Bandwidth, storage, emails, etc for only $6.95/month!?!?!) They don't have the hardware for those kind of packages which end up with burned customers. They are 3 companies in one. Bluehost, Hostmonster and Fastdomain. They compete against themselves to get more of a market. Support is supposed to answer the phone pretending to be one company or the other. Poor customers get fed up with one company, cancell their account, then callback to the other company and sign up not realizing it's the same hardware/service/etc. Other companies will respect you and recognize your work, so if that doesn't bother you, Bluehost is for you.
