Pros

- Decent Benefits (health, 401 (k) etc.) - Tons of end-clients will show you spreadsheets of all passwords to their organization (ripe for the exploitation of you and third parties) - Zero to No progress in career unless someone above you dies or leaves the position - Personal leave

Cons

- Low Pay - Constant Monitoring - Aggressive Management - Zero training for customer service basics or most things for the job - Expectations that Technical Capability will compensate for Customer Service acumen - Excessive pressure to have answer right away / immediately from clients and management - Lack of personalization towards clients goals - Management expectation you will crash and burn and fail and they can hire someone else - Excessive time spent drafting emails to clients rather than solving real problems

Pros

Esri pays your health insurance. A few extra holidays that other companies may not offer.

Cons

-Below average pay for California. Already a struggle living out here due to cost of living. -Support services is a mess. We have to bend over backwards for customers always teetering on scope of support. Might as not even have those guidelines anymore if it's a constant battle for internal resources to back you. -Constant releases of software that breaks customer workflows. Too many bugs. Lack of QA. -Whats the point of middle management if all decisions have to come from higher ups that have no understanding of supports day by day. -Unwillingness to let senior employees work from home. And if you do work from home they hold it against you if you want to apply to an internal position. Almost like a thinly veiled threat. -Other teams feel the need to steam roll support sometimes, often leading to fragmented relationships. -Lastly there is way too much work and never enough people.
