Pros

Great culture. The CEO has a good heart and is a phenomenal person. Their facilities are at the top of the spectrum for data center properties.

Cons

Leadership below the CEO is sub-par. Sorry, should read "Management" instead of leadership, as there is no real leadership at the levels below the CEO.

Thank you for your review. As a mid-level leader here at QTS, I appreciate your points. As always, I can assure you we are focused on keeping our finger on the pulse of the industry and doing what is right for our current and prospective customers. Given you spent time here... you know we are fanatical about customer experience; and while “management” is sometimes necessary (I don’t know your specific circumstances), we will continue to make decisions based on maintaining our status as the industry leader in uptime and unprecedented customer service.

Pros

It is a family oriented company that really provides you great opportunities to work on many different technologies. It seems as though i get to learn something new on a daily basis. The team work can not be matched. The salary and benefits are well matched with other companies.

Cons

Communication is key and I believe it can be improved along with meetings to discuss issues and resolutions. One on one meetings need to take place between employees and management at least once a month. Performance reviews should take place more often then once a year so that you have an idea of your strengths vs weaknesses and what you can improve on. Training needs to be provided to everyone not just the select few and information needs to be shared. Automation needs to be put in place to better suit customer needs.

Thank you for your feedback. Building relationships and improving communications between managers and employees is a passion of mine and something we are definitely working to improve. We made adjustments to the PM process this year that addressed some of your suggestions, but there is still room for improvement. And we are working hard to digitize our systems, which will not only improve the customer experience but should make doing your job easier, as well. I’d welcome a direct conversation to discuss more specifics on how we improve on the areas you mentioned. Ashley Olberding - People Services Business Partner

Pros

Available OT is the ONLY good thing! Guess that’s what happens when your understaffed

Cons

Not set schedule. Low pay. No room for advancement. For the short time I worked for QTS I barely saw my manager and when he did roll in around 10am or so he was heading home by 2-3pm. Working 9 hours with nothing to do got old. Whenever I would send my ‘manager’ an email for things to work on in the overnight hours i always got the ‘I’ll get you some things to work on’ but they never came. Each week he would send an email out to the team letting us know they he would set a schedule for us but that never came either. I would get a text Sunday night from him letting me know when my next shift was. Very unprofessional. Favoritism ran rampant throughout my office. We had a small team but only a couple of people would actually do any work. Some likes to sit back and act like ‘leaders’ by constantly sending out emails about things that didn’t get done or how they should be done. One teammate would actually go out of his way to help me with any questions I might have but the other 3 didn’t do anything but complain about everything. The new team lead?? That was a joke in itself. Another one that would rather send out emails and call people out rather then try and actual find a solution to an issue. I remember one night he showed up drunk after being out to try and explain to us how something should be done!! I was excited when I started working for QTS but once I saw how things were run in my office I was glad to be out of there!

I have been part of the QTS family here in New Jersey since they acquired Globix nearly 12 years ago and I can say I love being part of this family. In all my years here I have never witnessed the kind of behavior or lack of work you speak of. And I find it confusing that you write the 'Pros' as having opportunities for OT and you mention being understaffed, but then complain of not having anything to do. Those two things don't go together in my book. We are a family here in NJ. We have each other's backs. We help each other. We work hard to ensure the best possible service for our customers. Things aren't always perfect, but families rarely are. We wish you the best and hope you're able to find a better fit for yourself. Nitza Aviles Data Center Technician II, New Jersey, NJ
