Pros

Popcorn machine Free coffee/tea Hang around other nerds all day Occasional taco truck comes to visit You will learn how to fix computers and manually remove malware

Cons

* Extremely underpaid for the amount of work required * Training is a joke and does not incorporate what you will actually deal with on a day to day basis. * Company will constantly promise better things to come (raises, company growth, new breakroom) but it never happens. * No paid holidays. If you work Christmas, guess what? No extra pay * No paid vacations. Ever. We were promised that would change for years and it never did. * An entire department was fired recently because the client was sued by the FTC and shut down operations. * As a result, the lack of income generated from that client adversely impacted the company's profits so techs from other projects were let go to make company more profitable. Now, there are less employees working, but techs are expected to handle the same call flow as before. * Job requirements change all the time. We are constantly expected to perform more work, for the same amount of pay. * There is pretty much no room to grow, other than a floor lead position. * They don't accept the normal polite two-weeks notice to quit. If you give them two-weeks, you are done working instantly. They don't trust employees to not be spiteful. * Loyalty is not rewarded. You may have worked for years, done everything asked by Management, and they will still let you go or offer you meager wages. * Employees are paid depending on how many cases closed - yet management refuses to disclose the exact formula to determine wage. This has been requested for years by employees. Contrary to the five-star reviews, it is NOT spelled out clearly in your paycheck.

Pros

It's a foot in the tech-industry door You get to be around a bunch of other nerds Popcorn machine

Cons

Policies are constantly changing Work expectations increase with no monetary reward They fire people all the time, then expect remaining employees to cover their work plus their own. Severely underpay their employees ($10/hr is their base) They say they value their employees, but you are simply expendable to them. No paid vacation or paid holidays.

Pros

If you're the type of person that doesn't like to move around too much then you'll love this job because you're literally sitting in a chair for 8 hours. It's also good tech experience for those of you in computer related fields.

Cons

Policies change on a weekly basis. If you're not an adaptable person this is definitely not the job for you, not to mention for the workload that is expected of you minimum wage seems highly unreasonable. You are expected to meet quotas outlines by management. Whether or not that amount of work is available does not seem to be of much concern to them. The cases we receive are outsourced by Advanced Tech Support, so if on a slow day we don't receive a lot of work we are still held accountable.
