      A good place to start if you want to get industry experience - but don't plan on sticking around.

      Pros

      Flexible schedule (pretty much) Most people are friendly and helpful. You will learn a lot about how servers and web hosting works. Free lunch. Easy work once you get the hang of it. Free massages at your desk while you work. Sweet.

      Cons

      Can be stressful at times. I'm not a huge fan of the whole "no dress code" thing. I certainly don't think it should be a strict dress code but there is a guy who wears his pajamas and house slippers to work. That's just a bit overboard IMO. (that's just a minor gripe though) Sometimes it's hard to get help when you need it. The training program really is a joke. Read a computer screen for 8 hours a day for two weeks, then take a test. Also, one of the trainers in Houston really needs to grow up and learn to talk to people without being condescending. VERY unprofessional. Can be hard to meet quota some days. Some of the expectations for quota are unclear or at least they haven't been explained to me. Angry customers will rate you negatively even though you do everything that you can and it still affects your pay. The pay really is terrible. Unemployment was paying more. The free lunch is hit and miss. Some days it's actually pretty good. Other days... no. But, hey, it's free so there really isn't anything to complain about there. Very little interaction with supervisors. (though to be fair, they are a little overworked and don't have time for hand holding)

      Decent starter job, but more often than not, doesn't turn into a career.

      Pros

      You get free lunch each day. Your supervisors do indeed become your friends. Management is nice.

      Cons

      Poor pay if you're looking for a career. The supervisors are young, and inexperienced in most cases and do not know how to appreciate their employees. Very school like atmosphere, drama everywhere.

      Great place to work if you like to learn and want to work

      Pros

      If you want to work, and want to learn its a great place to work. Most bad reviews on here are from "JR Admins" and "Former JR Admins" alot of them don't tend to make it. First of all I will say I did not start out as a JR Admin, I took the initial tests and got in a an admin because I have some decent linux server experience.The complaints that you have to get in the right crowd are somewhat true, however if you do your job right, and do it well, its easy to get in the right crowd because everyone just wants to work together, it makes the day go by easier for everyone. I do have to say some sick days would be nice, I dont want to goto the doctor to get a note for a cold or short lasting flu, I have done it so far but going out when sick is a pain. There are plety of opportunities to train and move up are there if you choose to take them, and if you choose to do the work to get ahead. If you think helping people solve different issues time after time every day is boring and monotonous, then this job is just not for you. Management is great, they listen to suggestions, however its unrealistic to think they can accomodate every suggestion. People say the pay sucks, yeah I want to make 90k a year as well, but its unrealistic to think that as a jr admin or level 1 admin that you will see more than what you are now. The only way to make more is to work hard and get ahead, like anywhere else. Oh and JR admins, quit complaining about the pay. Alot of you work at hostgator because your good at working with computers, working on the web, and fixing your grandmas pc, not because your good at working on servers. If you were you would be an admin. I would advise jr admins that if they want to do more, and make more to read and learn more about linux then try for the admin position.

      Cons

      cant really think of much, sometimes the ac is too cold, the food sucks sometimes, but hey its free food.
