Pros

Decent mid-level management, and a large customer base. That's about the only positive things I can say about this company.

Cons

Disorganized, poor escalation, high turnover rate for both employees and clients. This place was a nightmare. With 3 ticketing systems, no effective knowledge base system, and a culture of "not my job," I am not sure how this company stays in business. The a/c was out in the office for more than a month. The HR representatives tend to stretch the truth, so get everything in writing. There are too many tools (depending on which client you are trying to help) and a tribal knowledge culture, so you are likely on your own when trying to fix issues as a Tier 1 Tech. Moving up will require a degree and/or certifications, and experience means little to nothing in their environment. All in all, a terrible work experience, with far too many issues to name here.

Used to be fun, gone downhill

Pros

Some really nice people, can work from home, free snacks if they remember to buy them, decent benefits.

Cons

Roles are unclear, lack of clear communication between management and staff, work politics, you need the right friends to advance and yet you still won't know where your career is going, if it's going anywhere at all anyway. You will be blamed and labeled negative if you're not a yes-man, rather than management addressing issues and finding solutions. Management is mostly new and confused about what their roles are, too, so they aren't capable of helping you. They are too busy restructuring and trying to do things completely new ways versus taking a look at what worked before and building on an already good foundation. They'd rather demolish the whole structure to avoid anything done the old way. We must be new and exciting rather than functional.
