Pros

Open atmosphere, and fun to work with a bunch of people. Flexible schedule/hours, and great learning opportunities.

Cons

Management does not treat staff like they care, to them you are just a number and they know more people will apply. It is a revolving door and you could easily see 5-10 employee's leave in 3-4 months of being there. In order show their appreciation managers walk around with popcorn and other snacks, like you are a 2 yr old kid and food is enough of an incentive for you to keep working there. Reviews can be unprofessional and blunt, but at least they try. On the same note don't expect a bump in pay; If you haven't been working there for a couple years or close to the management team and their clique they couldn't care less. Learning is all on-the-job and is frustrating because their KB articles are normally 3-4 years old and they don't really provide up to date resources, but expect you to "just know". Most people (advisers, technicians, GM, owners) call in upset because they a) lack technology skills and forgot their password or something else elementary b) are mad that their network went down because the equipment sucks c) Helion messed something else up on a field call or something of the like. Lack of internal opportunities because it is a smaller company.

Pros

* great place to learn * fun holiday party and company outings (paintball, movies, etc.) * lots of nerds work here, so you can make some good friends

Cons

* workload is unreasonable at every level. * CEO is emotionally unstable and openly admits that he has a short temper. He frequently berates people in front of a large group of their peers. * upper management are more like frat brothers, than businessmen. They treat the office environment like their own personal playground. * middle management is useless. They see the issues and are either too afraid of being fired for speaking up, or just don't care enough. * salary range is ridiculous. CEO and stakeholders are making money hand over first. CEO has stated on several occasions, during company-wide quarterly meetings, that he admits his company is a "pyramid scheme". * work environment is extremely hostile. You are in constant fear of being fired at the CEO's whim. Several coworkers with years of service were fired for no good reason at all.
