      Overall company is great, but Technical Support you get no training, no help and they work you like a dog.

      Pros

      Benefits like insurance and PTO are good. I was lucky to get a good work shift 7 - 4.

      Cons

      Thrown in to the job, no training, no help when you are on the phone with customer. Was told 30 cases a week was satisfactory then they expect 40 then 50...management never satisfied. No matter how many calls you take, while some are not doing as much. Support is not where you want to work.

      Hard lessons on what leadership shouldn’t be

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It’s a decent place to get initial exposure to the tech space and build foundations if you’re new to the industry.

      Cons

      Leadership relies on micromanagement, fear, manipulation rather than trust or empowerment even with consistent top performance. A strong culture of control over collaboration. High performance is rarely recognized unless it feeds leadership ego. Growth is significantly limited unless you are willing to conform and join the good ole boys club. Leadership operates as a closed circle protecting each others poor behavior and enables a culture of silence rather than accountability. Pay is well under what it should be. Don’t expect yearly raises on good performance.
