Pros

Other then comfortability not much.

Cons

Now all honest I’d say there are plenty of other data center to go work for and be truly valued. QTS’s whole value employee mantra is just that a mantra the experience as a whole was sometime challenging cause especially in DCO there is no upward mobility no change to go into middle or even senior management ontop of this you don’t feel like your value from any sort of management it’s more of a job then a career because after 2 years your probably going to be working for one of the client in the data center. This is the reality of working a QTS especially as a minority. You are at a higher disadvantage because of the micro agression and nepotism that plague the company as a whole. Imagine having to jump through flaming hoop that are moving side to side that’s the experience of QTS. Senior management doesn’t seem to know what they are doing they spend irresponsibly and don’t show the same favoritism to all their departments.

Let us first start and thank you for your time spent with QTS and are disappointed to hear about some of them. For our important DCO technician population, team member development is a priority for us. We will continue to make strides to improve our development program especially for our DCO technicians.

Additionally, at QTS we firmly believe and promote diversity efforts and support inclusion training and dialogues. As a minority myself, I will work hard to continue to make this a priority within the QTS family and we appreciate any feedback in this regard. Lastly, one of our mottoes at QTS is to say that we are "Powered By Our People", we appreciate all feedback since it gives us an opportunity to improve, empower and listen to our People.

Pros

The ability to “touch” a lot of varied and upper level devices.

Cons

More ego-centric chiefs than hard-working grunts. Keep your head down, figure out the infrastructure and politics on your own and for goodness sake don’t suggest anything that will get you noticed!

I am sorry that your experience at QTS was not all that you were looking for. As far as the recent surveys and “incentives”, the incentive we offer, is an incentive offered since the creation of the company and that is we recognize and appreciate that we are a company “Powered By People” as such we have an unwavering commitment to and an appreciation of our employees and their contributions and commitment. While there are things we can do better and we will continue to do so, I believe what you are seeing in these reviews from our employees is they want their voice to be heard about how they see our company. -Don Swartz, SVP Operations & Technology
