Pros

* coworkers are kind and helpful to others, no real drama from anyone which is hard to find, everyone is laid back (built lasting friendships here) * regular management (shift leads) are there to help when they can for day to day questions, are flexible and try to make sure to schedule you off and find coverage for you when it's needed * upper management seems to actually care and tries hard to work around your needs (nice that they promote from within so everyone starts at the bottom and works their way up) * you can learn a lot and focus on what you want with their dedicated support model (Linux, Windows, Hadoop, SaaS/Enterprise technologies, etc...) with different clients on the BPO/Enterprise department * there are so many different things to do, and if you're not sure what you're good at or what you want to do, they're truly helpful and patient in trying everything or moving you around where you want to go - Good at accounting/finances? Great let's try that for a few months! Great at sales? Wonderful, we'll throw you in training then see how you like that for awhile! Want to try something new other than just the web-hosting side? Well, how about X, Y, or Z product/department, let's see how you and the client feel about trying this out for 6-9 months! It's just a great overall experience, and I'm glad they let me try a few things out before getting stuck somewhere, all you need to do is speak up and be open/honest.

Cons

* entry level pay is low, but you earn more with experience and promotions (which they're good about staying on top of due to metrics and customer/peer feedback) * it can get busier during flu season on the end user support side

Pros

Great entry-level job for people with zero system O administration/web hosting experience. After 1-2 years, get out.

Cons

Everything else. CEO is a cheapskate. Management has no real experience, pretty much making it up as they go. Cover their own mistakes, a bunch of yes-men/women. I'm guessing CEO is oblivious to what's really going on in his company. You are pushed to constantly work by interactive dashboards, where stuff is constantly red, and you need to punch replies as fast as possible just so "the queue is clear". (pretty much a virtual factory). Entry level education is excellent, but higher-level training is non-existent. Staff retention is abysmally poor, due to the extremely high stress people burn out quickly and quit. Those who stay long, either don't care anymore and milk it as much as possible or are almost crazy. Most of the staff is rotated on a yearly basis, they're constantly looking for "new talent".

Pros

If you want to go into Linux and do not have any prior job experience, this is the perfect job! A fast paced environment which forces you to think of your feet. Great people, laid-back atmosphere.

Cons

It's great for beginners, but not so much for experienced admins (that either come in with some experience, or become experienced during their stay at Touch Support). If you have been a Level 3 for 6 months it's definitely time for you to move on from cPanel and find another job (vanilla Linux). It's harsh but that's the truth. Touch Support is making money from small clients, selling tickets/phones/chat services and your job is to handle the client's needs. There is very little room for project work and to learn something new (outside of the hosting business and cPanel)
