Pros
Some current and former employees will mention the fact that the dress code is really lax, there's free catered lunch, a game room with an Air Hockey Table and multiple arcade machines, flexible schedule, and the relaxed yet professional work environment. What they won't mention is that HostGator thrives on it's culture of family and team work. Since I have started with the company, I have developed a great network of friends/coworkers. The mindset to me feels like "we all have a job to do, let's help each other get it done". I walked into HostGator knowing virtually nothing about Web Hosting and in less than a year advanced to Administrator. The opportunity to learn the field is fantastic and HostGator provides the opportunity to shore up your working knowledge of day to day operation in order to improve and advance yourself. Also, the positive feedback from direct and upper level management is excellent. When you are doing a good job, they certainly let you know.
Cons
At the risk of sounding like a homer, the only real complaint I would have is that I wish the pay was a little higher, and that the incremental raises were a bit more.
