Pros

Casual dress code, abundance of problems to solve which can help you learn new topics. You get to meet some pretty cool people, but morale is typically down and you relate to each other around problems instead of solutions. If you're able to maintain your sanity and keep your head down through a lot of the problems at the company there is some potential career advancement opportunities. But once you've gone up a level or two your options quickly dwindle and it's almost as if they'd like to see you move on.

Cons

Broken company culture with departments not working together as one unit, with borderline scammy business practices even for the hosting industry. Typical employee seems to be overworked and under appreciated, and if you side with customers the environment can become very hostile. The higher ups are on the West coast with mainly marketing and business development type folks, while support is on the East coast. This leads to a great disconnect in how the owners perceive their company and the actual daily going ons. The company is not very nimble at all and typically not very proactive but reactive to issues, this leads to stressful overworked periods of time where they cancel entire department's lunch breaks to try to keep up with everything.

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

Pros

The company provided lunch and had a great team environment. Offered a good benefits package for those that wished to take advantage of it.

Cons

I worked in an outbound sales role as a salaried employee. There was no flexibility in hours allowing you to work later in the day to stay later. If you wanted or needed to stay late you had to come in late. Also felt as though I was being discriminated against by my manager at times.
