Pros

Co-workers. Good networking resources for finding a real job.

Cons

Horrible work environment with a shell game path to advancement. if you're not wiling to drink the Kool-aid and bow down at the altar of the QTS collective, you will not succeed. The site where I worked is a true facade, with the elaborate glass and artwork up front and the heart of the facility in shambles(poorly maintained and leaking equipment, archaic and cumbersome operating systems, etc.)all due to shoddy site leadership. "Management" is condescending and petulant, stopping at nothing to promote their own self interests while quashing any and all criticism. I only stayed as long as I did due to a sluggish economy in this market. Last but not least, after six years of development, this site has little to show in customer occupied space. Not a good recipe for long-term success.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a positive review for QTS. The data center industry is definitely a fast-paced business that requires a lot of compliance to government regulations. Thanks also for pointing out some areas we can improve upon. We appreciate the time you spent with us and hope you’ve found a good fit for you and your professional ambitions. Don Swartz Sr. VP Operations & Technology

Pros

The coffee was good. Many things "look good", just don't dig too deep.

Cons

The company is very disorganized. Only those who are nice and docile get noticed. Safety and even company policies are suggestions rather than the rule. During my one year tenure at this company, no less than six times was the law clearly broken, for example, forbidding employees to talk about pay, bribing or threatening employees with pay deductions or incentives to keep things secret, operating powered industrial trucks without training, and using employee ignorance to try and get away with not paying out benefits upon exiting the company. This company's practice is to make everything "look good". Proper functionality, whether it be from building equipment like AC units, computer programs, or day-to-day operations, are all secondary. Telling their customers what they want to hear, regardless if it is true, is what this company does as rule. Communication, a primary result of the company's disorganization, is abysmal. The right hand never knows what the left is doing. Rework on projects is commonplace and as a result many sites are hemorrhaging money due to inefficiency. The only reason QTS's stock is doing well is because the data center market has yet to saturate. Once the market saturates and QTS has to compete, it will suffer greatly if not go under.

There are some broad and unsubstantiated allegations in this review. We take the management of our facilities and the care of our employees very seriously and are committed to ensuring the best possible experience for both our employees and customers. I’m sorry your time with QTS didn’t turn out to be successful, and I wish you luck in the future. David Murray VP, Facilities
