Great entry point to IT/networking, but comes with baggage

Noc associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Emory NOC gives people with little to no real world experience an opportunity to enter the IT/networking field and pick up a lot of valuable skills and knowledge. The 401k match is above average. Fairly knowledgeable department staff and opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Generally low starting salary, and yearly inflation will likely wipe out any notion of a real salary increase, so ensure you are content with the salary you start at.
