      Pros

      I've worked here for about a year. The training is really good, and I have a good relationship with my manager. I've seen a lot of my coworkers move up. I know I will move up soon, too. I've learned a lot of technical skills in the past year. We are allowed to wear and t-shirt everyday, and there's a gym for the employees to use. There's also games and free lunch everyday (it's pretty decent most days). The health benefits and PTO time are actually very generous and affordable.

      Cons

      I think the environment is light and fun. I do see the supervisors trying to make it a fun place to work. So, I can't really complain too much. I would say to stop making eggs for lunch!

      If you put the work in, it will work out.

      Pros

      The company is always open to new ideas from anyone. A lot of fun events, parties, special days (Think beer, snacks, and other special little perks.) and of course, lunch. Awesome co-workers. Creative and personal freedom (No dress code, no judgements about who you are. It's a safe environment for everyone.) A lot of opportunity for industry experience & training. A lot of opportunity for career mobility. Newly provided medical benefits are quite nice. (including 401k, medical spending, etc.) A decent amount of paid time off. Salary and hourly pay rates have increased dramatically.

      Cons

      A lot of attrition in the rank and file. Some of the (Internal) systems in use are frustratingly buggy. Some agents who don't have a [strong] voice tend to go unnoticed. More of a corporate culture than there had been (Both good and bad.) Aggressive sales techniques are becoming common.

      Pros

      I was able to work my way up from entry level and very little Linux knowledge to a management position in the most The Linux Administration department over three years--so I would say the biggest pro is the ability to grow there. They encourage you to learn, and promotion is attainable if you work for it, and are willing to meet management expectations. Also free food and stuff.

      Cons

      Its changing, not as drastically as some other reviews make it out to be, but its a publicly traded company now, so its just different than it use to be. There are some benefits to that, but there are also some draw backs. One drawback is the fact its slower (but still a real possibility) to be promoted. It use to be a smoother process, that much is for sure. Also, the general atmosphere is more corporate than is use to be, and policy has become frustratingly strict in some cases.
