Pros
- I have made a few really great friends there, and love being able to teach people, I genuinely loved my time there. - If you have a nice personality, people will flock to you. Like a beam of sunlight on a cloudy day, people will look up to you if you are patient and don't mind answering questions from some of the lower tiers you can amass a great and powerful following that would sacrifice their lives for you. Do not use this power for evil my friends. - Free lunches on Tuesday - Snacks in the cabinets for the first 6 hours after restocking them - As you climb the ladder your workload and stress start to fall immensely. - They love people who do overtime, if you like working a lot, they will pass out OT like candy. - Depending on the shift, nerf gun fights, I think they had a game night at one point where people would bring in consoles and play after hours
Cons
- The politics are pretty insane and moving up is a lot about who you know. Though that is like that everywhere. I once heard about someone trying to get another person fired who applied for a position they wanted but were rejected from. Which I think did happen later... - Also the pay is bad. If you are a Tier 1 you can make some serious cash with the monthly bonuses, but after Tier 2 or Systems Admin, the bonuses are much smaller and harder to achieve. - Some supervisors are extremely incompetent and others play a dictator-like role
