Pros

Learn to work in a high paced work environment. Learn emergency recovery procedures in a technical setting.

Cons

Run by a large group of socially inept people who don’t have the social skills to connect with individuals yet manage a group of employees. Ruthless group with no concern to what may be going on in the office professionally or with employees personally outside of work. Company is not involved in any social or ethical sustainability practices of any kind. It really is only about making the customer happy by any means and getting the job done! A lot of antagonizing behavior all around. What every individual brings to the table, their unique perspective, their personality, their view point in life, adds to the group dynamic of the business they work for, then on a group level, those relationships either gel and work well with one another or create friction if those values are opposed. There is friction here. At the very lower level of a company, it is these relationships that affect the general result of the company. If the lowest level employees aren’t happy, this translates to mistakes and problems in productivity, and overall quality of work. When employees are in sync with each other and work together to achieve the goal of the company, everything runs much smoother. Things do not run smoothly here. Take all the factors that make a group up and now analyze the strengths and weakness of the individual, how they interact as a group, how they communicate, what values are important to the individual person and what is important to the management team supervising the group and you will see that if they don’t work well together, the company does not advance; however, if they are all “on the same page,” everything runs smoothly. There is no professional advancement here.

Pros

Its a job. Im not unemployed.

Cons

ZERO company culture. The employees are miserable. The customers are miserable. This in turn creates a slowing of business further making the problem worse. No upward movement. Part timers work full time hours without benefits. Cut backs are being made to help profits even though the company is at a loss every year. Its a dying business and the upper management is at fault for this. THE ONLY PLUS IS you literally CANT get fired from your 10$/hr hell hole job unless you steal. Literally anything else is good. No call no shows, call out 3x a week, swear at customers, pull the discrimination card on everything and youll get away with it all. HR is too afraid to fire people, and the only time they fired someone they brought them back because they were afraid. Its a clock in and collect (not much) job.

Pros

Casual dress, good benefits, union contracted for non-management employees.

Cons

Managers all treat employees like common peasants, many times not acknowledging their presence. Data center is a nightmare - each operator is overloaded with work and treated awful. Broken chairs, dirty air vents, bugs in the halls and rude managers who all curse at you. Big managers hide in their offices and bash operators via email. Very unprofessional, inappropriate, toxic and verbally abusive work environment.
