Paid Training

Pros

Flexible schedule; paid training; exposure to many environments/technologies; friendly customers; helpful/friendly tech support team; great parts logistics; Worldwide company so you can probably relocate (fairly) easy

Cons

mediocre pay; no raises; when I started with the company, overtime was plentiful. Now the company wants to minimize OT but expects you still do same amount of work. Company is now moving work to 3rd party (freelancers) and taking money out of its field techs pockets. Dead end job.

Pros

No supervision. No oversight. No one is dotting i's or crossing t's on your work. Free certifications. Some fellow employees care about your development.

Cons

Pay is extremely low for the work done. As others have noted, no raises. If you live in a big city, avoid this company like the plague. As other techs in your area become disillusioned with the company they'll dump things on newer techs with little to no training. Certifications are great, but don't replace practical training.

Pros

Will pay for your certs, and has a tuition program Lots of skilled coworkers if you need help Good place to learn the ropes, and hone skills.

Cons

You will never get a raise - ever I repeat - you will never get a raise. Training is a bit like getting thrown into the deep end. Workload continues to increase, even when pay does not. Good place to leave after you have learned the ropes and honed your skills. As it is presently run, you are a fool to consider this as a long term career option. A year or two here should be good preparation for a good job.

Pros

Easy to get hired. Offers great benefits and training.

Cons

Allows you to grow into a corner. Very willo g to add to your workload.. no raises. Management is very distant, should be more involved in processes. Higher managment expects things to be a certain way based off numbers and dont take into concideration every account runs diffrently..

Pros

Good place to cut your teeth, or experiment with new ideas/technology. If working in field, potential for limitless OT Most managers are understanding of personal leave needs Good exposure with big brand companies Nice amount of perks and benefits.

Cons

If you're in a corporate environment, OT is a no go It is a good place to cut your teeth; rookie project managers, and new managers often don't know how to properly communicate expectations. Little to no training, sometimes you will be completely on an island without direction.

Pros

Easy interview, easy hire. That's all I can think of.

Cons

Projects appear out of nowhere. Management doesn't assign projects until the night of or day of. Never know how busy your next day will be. No raises, no promotions. Have to drive your own car. They make you buy your own tools out of pocket, no reimbursement. Had a manager say that he would pay me for tools to finish a call but never did. Management does not help you with technical support at all. They do not care if employees are overworked. You spend half the time doing useless, outdated paperwork. Essentially a retail position depending on where management wants to place you. No training at all. Was "trained" for two weeks, watching techs do printer support. My own calls were all POS registers. Learned everything from online documents that are too detailed. Don't work here if you can find any other place.
