Pros

Looks great on a resume. Seriously, that's the ONLY pro. Making $15/hr to maintain thousands and thousands of servers on a team of mostly incompetent fools is quite taxing on your mental health.

Cons

Unclean shared desks, the term "Gatoraids" was coined due to various outbreaks of flu/colds. Out of touch management who don't understand what it takes to deliver quality products. Very little forward momentum or possibility of moving up. Very compartmentalized, people are divided by building floor, preventing social interaction. Clock out for nearly everything when leaving your desk for nearly any reason.

Pros

Flexible schedule The ability to learn more as you go Catered Lunches Unique talent pool. Anywhere from prior hosting employees to developers to hobbyists

Cons

Pay is extremely sub-standard which results in extremely high turnover Emphasis is on quota/ratings, not actual solves or customer experience. Current quota system encourages bad behavior
