Pros

Great security software\hardware product which you get to use SQL, AD, Windows, Linux, Cisco,SSL,proxy, etc... in environments from small businesses to government facilitites

Cons

Hostile work environment. This may have changed. VP of Support knew that the majority of customers were going to Premium support, but did not hire accordingly to handle the volume till after the fact. Managers would each have a favorite tech or two and if you were not one of the favorites than you were just another slob on the phone. Techs with experience were not valued and no effort made to keep seasoned techs. New techs are hired on with higher pay and better title without knowing the product. The best way to get promoted would be to quit and re-apply a few months to a year later. High turnover due to hellacious workload with little to no respect from management.

Pros

Free donuts and bagels once a week. Friendly co-workers considering the amount of stress and problems that exists in the support department.

Cons

The Technical Support workforce is severely understaffed. The tenured techs receive no form of compensation for their dedication or hard work outside of an email that is sent out recognizing the amount of time they have spent with the company, which only happens once you've been there half a decade. As an engineer you are held to completely unrealistic expectations in regards to work load and are constantly receiving the worst end of the stick from customers who don't understand how severely understaffed the workforce is. The management in Technical Support is literally useless. They have no means, methods, or desire to assist their subordinates in any way. There is no interaction outside of a weekly team meeting which consists of the most redundant useless information you could imagine. They fail to prioritize anything correctly and never back up or assist engineers in any way, constantly shrugging work and responsibility with complete apparent disdain to any and all problems. A quarterly bonus that was promised and rightfully earned was disregarded and not issued due to a clerical error, but the company still refused to own up to the error and compensate those who had earned their bonuses.
