Pros
HostGator is good for people who don't have a lot of experience. They hire a lot of people and offer interesting perks that a lot of other jobs would not. It is mostly subsistence based stuff (Food, candy, drinks, etc.) - They have nap rooms - A pretty cool break room - Sometimes have fun events They have been pretty flexible with schedules. The only thing I really like about HostGator is they have a lot of really good people that try really hard to get things done. I've met a lot of good friends here.
Cons
Hostgator hires people without a lot of background experience, training or education so that they can pay them at the very lowest end of the normal pay scale. We get a brief training period that is mostly there to cover the basics. The turn over rate is really high because of the general lack of skill and it is made worse because of the expectations they place on us. It feels like mostly everyone at HostGator is just there while they look for something else or until they get fired for incompetence. The real HostGator seems like a group of around 5-10 people who have been friends for a really long time and everyone else is expendable. I always see those 5-10 people move around to different positions in the company messenger but I've never seen what they do if they do anything at all.
