Pros

Hmm.....can't think of any at the moment. We did get annual bonuses, up until the year I was let go, then they apparently stopped.

Cons

Underpaid, extremely poor management, very disorganized, too many to mention. Most of their "managers" have little to no experience & no formal education. One of the managers even agreed that he made a horrible manager.

Pros

The data center work itself was interesting and there were opportunities to gain exposure to large-scale projects. Some coworkers on-site were supportive and hardworking.

Cons

Leadership and communication were extremely inconsistent. There was little structure, minimal training, and employees often felt like they were expected to figure things out on their own without proper support or mentorship. Workloads and expectations changed constantly depending on who you spoke to. The company talks about growth, but many employees are underutilized or not actually developed professionally. It often felt more reactive than organized, especially from upper management. Decisions were made with very little transparency, and morale suffered because of it. There was also a noticeable disconnect between corporate leadership and the realities of what was happening on-site. Many employees felt expendable rather than valued.
