Pros

Learn new skills Get to work with multiple types of technology Used to be able to handle walk-ups before becoming full-time remote. Great Christmas party.

Cons

Willard the manager and John the Director are clueless. John made promises about growth within the team but never kept his promises. No learning or development program to improve your skills. Willard will go with what the user say over what his tech says. Don't get me started with the on-call support as before with the previous managers, it was not a 24/7 support. Now from what I was told from current employees that it has become a 24/7 support and the techs have to log into the phone queue and only get to clame OT if and only IF they get a call and put in a ticket. So if a call does not come in all weekend long and you are logged into the phone system, you are not getting paid for that time. You will be overworked and your time will be micro-managed by the manager, Willard. After being there for 9 years, I finally got a 10% raise, but it was too little too late. Your mental health means nothing for the company or mostly for the IT Department.

Pros

Nothing at all. It's all listed in the cons.

Cons

We were sold off to them from Optimum. Quickly trying to become the worst company in America to work for. They took away our vacation. Our sick time. Our personal time. They took away holidays. Now they are saying that working a holiday is mandatory unless you asked it off 2 weeks before it (they gave notice of that less than a week before it). They monitor wherever you are, doing whatever, soon as that truck moves. You aren't allowed to backup. If you call in two times in a 90 day period, you're in trouble. If it gets to 8 times (the last call in continues it on) you're fired. They overwork you because they are "behind" and you're just expected to work later. We're expected to do more and for less. They even denied our merit raises saying they didn't believe in them. They don't care about your family and wanting to see them. To be able to spend time outside of work. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN HELP IT!
