Pros

Good co-workers, that's about it.

Cons

The company has no concept of running a business, instead of investing in the good people they already have, they keep hiring new people, investing in training them. Once staff find out the company has no interest in them in the long run or wants to work them to the bone and not pay enough for that they leave and the company rehires and spend more money on new teams. Sales scheme is a joke, hardly compensated for the work sales staff put in and the money they bring to the company. The company will do anything possible to avoid compensating sales or pay commission. Don't expect to make the advertised 55k they mention.. its never attainable because they put a commission plan to make sure you not only compete against yourself but against your co-workers for the same commission! forces the staff to have a doggy dog work mentality instead of a team work! I have seen sales guys go behind others to take their sales to get to higher commission rate!! What a sad plan!

Pros

Entry level to level 5 Techs work well together and support each other, solid people, can’t say the same for management and HR, they can be cut throat.

Cons

Management/ HR act like they are untouchable (which they are) and the techs are peasants that do all the hard work to make the company money. If a tech calls out due to sickness/ family emergency, there is a point system used even if you have the sick/pto time to use. You hit too many points they will fire you. Meanwhile management will call out whenever they want to (night before/day of) and acquire no points because they are salary and just say they might work from home, and leave the team abandoned, no points go on their records. HR gets involved and management will not stand up for you even though HR has no idea who you are, just a number in their system.
