Pros

Good bonus if you sell a lot and can deal with the pressure, good benefits,

Cons

middle management really out of touch with what really happens, too many people in cush jobs not contributing much at all, call center in stone age, can't take vacation-spots are always full, using sick time counts against you in certain departments,

Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking to improve the culture and employee/customer experience. Allow me to address some of your concerns and steps we have made to improve the perception. - 1st as far as hiring qualified people: Moving up in the company as big and diverse as GoDaddy has always been a challenge to date . It was shared with us in our annual employee survey the GDvoice. Based upon powerful feedback received from our employees across the company we have just recently rolled out a career path strategy that outlines the certifications, knowledge and traits needed to move to other roles in the company. The ability to maintain the minimum expectations in your current role is a must, the ability to consult and understand the customers’ business will be necessary for some of the roles, but not for others. This guide has helped to clearly identify roles in the company that many may not of known existed as well as clear outline on how to prepare yourself to be a great candidate when applying. 2nd - Management out of touch. As you know we have an extremely open door policy. We encourage everyone to come to any level of leadership with concerns so we can work to improve. We also have our internal employee user voice forum so employees can express concerns and have other employee's vote it up to help us evaluate what we need to tackle first. 3rd- Vacations and sick time. At GoDaddy we value the importance of time away from work. We offer a generous time off plan where in the first year you can accrue 15 days of vacation, 2 personal days and 5 sick days. Due to the needs of our customers we ask that you plan ahead for the time off 7 days in advance. We understand that emergencies arise. In these situations if you have personal or sick time available you can use as needed with no write ups or disciplinary consequences. Sincerely, Brad Ehly Customer Care Director

Pros

Great benefits, cool people (not including leadership)

Cons

- You'll be worked like a slave, told when you can take your breaks and lunches. - Boy's Club. If you're in it, you can get away with lying to customers, breaking company policy, and basically whatever you want. If you're not part of it, watch your back, you'll be hyper-scrutinized for every action you take. - Commissions are capped, so top performers are limited. - This is not a true sales job, you are taking inbound customer service calls and will be expected to do technical support and deal with escalated inbound customers. - Much of the job has been outsourced to a Business Partner Organization (BPO) in the Philippines. Because they aren't true GoDaddy employees, they are allowed to operate like the wild wild west. Lying to customers, selling them duplicate products, deleting things from their accounts and reselling them the same product. Basically a complete legal nightmare... but you aren't allowed to complain about it and you are expected to fix all the problems they create.
