Pros

Lax dress code, free (kinda gross) lunch, good craft beer on fridays, box wine on wednesdays, once a week (short) chair massage

Cons

There is so much to list. The workload expected of you is just heinously high. Yet alone the fact that you must also get good ratings, which is hard because queue times are always awful. Youre gauged only by those two metrics: how much calls/chats/tickets you can do and your rating. Everything else, including tenure is out the window. You're expected to know so much about so many things, from their (very broken) billing system, to SSL troubleshooting, Wordpress, DNS knowledge, they want you to know EVERYTHING, yet you're lucky to get $10 /hr [at L1] for it. The path to getting promoted is so broken, especially because most basic promotion paths have been completely axed, or being outsourced. This place is going down the tubes. They're hiring temp workers who dont know anything and work at low wages, the temp workers make many, many tickets, and then they outsource the ticket jobs to India. Not only that, you go through more supervisors than you'd expect. After several years of employment, I've had more supervisors than I care to count. The only supervisors that get to stick around are total Yes Men. Look for a job where someone cares about you.

Pros

It's a job and you get health insurance after 6months

Cons

Since EIG took over, they've removed every good thing (including job security). Seems like half of the Admins have been fired or have left to pursue other opportunities.

Pros

If you're looking for a steady paycheck, with little to no effort, this is the place for you.

Cons

Used to have a lot of positive outlook, ability to move up, open door management, and great atmosphere. Unfortunately, these have all gone the wayside now. Management is completely closed-door, even ignoring questions from employees that would cause them to paint the company in a negative light. There is no ability to move up based on your experience / qualities, it's all based on how you interview (you already had to interview once to get the job, right?). The atmosphere is gone, looks and feels like a bunch of robots walking around. Positive outlook is gone, the employees know they'll never be a part of something bigger, and management knows this - and ignores it.
