Pros

They cater lunch every day Beer on Fridays Very casual Lots of training

Cons

They are very unorganized and they do not have the necessary tools to properly do your job. They also don't take criticism and will not make the necessary changes to make things more streamlined. THEY PAY IS HORRIBLE. They do not appreciate there workers and you can easily tell this by how little they pay their employees, because of this they have a lot of turnover. Most of the really good employees end up leaving to do the same thing but pays them significantly more. They rarely promote to management.

Pros

Benefits such as PTO was decent. Some of the policies sucked! Free lunch Paid for certification test

Cons

Compensation was horrible. Moral was low. Always had a "soon" attitude, but rarely you saw something get accomplished on time. They gave annual/ promotion raises at the same time so you do not get more money.

Pros

Many of Hostgator's lower-level staff are excellent, and they do promote from within (see cons section for caveats). Front-line managers are generally knowledgeable and helpful.

Cons

Compensation is dismal. Advancement is based on the ability to help customers in multiple simultaneous chats, regardless of skill and technical acumen. Corporate direction is opaque and poorly communicated. Internal tools are spotty and training often consists of learning how to work around the manifold bugs that are never fixed. Cost-cutting on data-center resources results in frequent outages, and customer abandonment is accepted in exchange for new customer signups.
