Pros

You will gain a significant amount of experience working with virtualization and backup software. It's a nice stepping stone into working as a backup specialist, if that is your career path. You'll also learn a lot about how to overcome your fear of dogs, since the owner brings his in nearly every day.

Cons

Don't expect to have a career here. Not many people last longer than a year, either because of the abysmal pay rate or the stifling, unwelcoming atmosphere. As mentioned by other reviewers, the products are part of a niche market and aren't that good. Most technical issues are blamed on the customer's setup, it's rarely ever the fault of the equipment. I started out here looking to build my resume in IT, as finding work in this area when you're not ex-military is incredibly hard, but instead opted to change career fields after leaving. The tech support staff also has an on-call rotation, and you could always tell which one was on rotation that week because they looked like zombies. Also, there is no career path. Start in R&D and you'll either burn out, get frustrated with the low pay, or get fired for no reason. Start in tech support and you'll end up the same way, or shuffled off to sales. Start in sales and you'll find that there are no good leads because the reputation of the product is so poor. Unless a senior sales rep quits and you inherit their clients, you'll make no commission because anyone who was already interested is taken.
