Pros

Free meals and sodas. Plenty of advancement if you are in the click.

Cons

I left a job making 22 dollars an hour to work for 11.00 an hour. I left to start a career in Linux. I took training at the community college and was studying for my LPIC 1. I liked the job but there was one manager there personally I believed was prejudice. I was one of 3 black people working at Hostgator. My manager gave me permission to train on my Linux while I was on the clock because I did my job well. This other manager wrote me up and I explained my manager gave me permission. Two months later I was switched to his team and I asked for a meeting and told him I believe that he did not like me. I was sick and had to go to the hospital and he fired me saying that I could not miss a day of work while on a write up. Now let me get this straight I went to both Hostgator Dallas and Austin. Dallas was wonderful but Austin was ok except that manager. I went above the manager and told them I felt the manager was picking on me. The next day I was fired.

Pros

Worked with email accounts and learned how to troublshoot common IIS issues and website problems. Was able to learn the various popular web design tools.

Cons

Staff was very rude, arrogant and held uncompromising attitudes. They made public private negative remarks in regards to ones job performance or character. Lack moral ethics and training leaders. Training personnel do not demonstrate with precise clear directions and fail to answer questions appropriate. They show partial favor in certain employees, by moving them together in sections and grouping weaker individuals together in another section.
