Pros

Opportunity to work from home, decent pay, pay for certifications

Cons

Annoying time keeping procedures, hourly budget for projects that is often unreasonable, expectation to work after hours far more often than they claim. Running on less crew than they need.

We appreciate you taking the time to write this review. However, we strongly disagree with you that only some of our employees are good people. Our employees are the most helpful, smart, and genuine group of people that I have had the pleasure of working with. Everyone you worked with tried to help you succeed. You were hired for a 40 hour per week job though and you routinely missed work averaging just 32 hours per week. You were allowed to do this due to your personal issues which we feel was very generous to you, treating you like family. I am sorry you did not see it that way. The timekeeping procedures are typical in this industry and especially important for hourly employees who are missing a lot of work like you were. I am sorry that seemed to be such a burden to you. Overall, I think we both realized this was not the right job for you at this time in your life. Sometimes things work out that way and we had no hard feelings to you upon your departure. It saddens us all here to now find you think most of us are bad people. We cannot disagree strongly enough.

Horrible Management

Pros

-Pay is better than fast food or retail but not enough for the area -All the employees low on the totem pole are really nice and try to include you in events -Monthly company lunches

Cons

-Management does not communicate with each other, they're mostly trying to shift blame or cover themselves from getting in trouble -Training is non-existent. "Just ask questions or figure it out." -Unrealistic expectations when making goals -Micromanagement to an extreme degree -Accounting for every minute of your day on time sheets, even for "salaried" employees -No overtime and on-call rotations -Coachings for any tiny mistake

Although you’re unhappy with how your time at Athens Micro concluded, we appreciate you taking time to write this review. We do our best to set appropriate expectations during interviews on what’s it like working at Athens Micro. One item we make sure to explain to candidates is our training and onboarding process. As thorough as our training program is, on-the-job training is the best way our techs learn as it gives them the opportunity to resolve issues on many different technologies. The “figuring it out” part of resolving technical issues is what our best employees love about working at Athens Micro. People that dislike that part of working here usually find out quickly they are not a good fit. You admitted during your exit interview that “In the interview, I think I misled you on what I knew.” Despite your lack of experience, we did our best to make it work by offering additional training for several months. Furthermore, we disagree with your assessment that Athens Micro is solely to blame for the issues you experienced during your short time here. The reality of the situation is that it wasn’t a good fit for either of us. We wish you the best in your future endeavors!
