Pros

The management (one individual in particular) is incredibly fantastic and will go above and beyond to help the employees in any way they can. If you are looking for a start in server administration, have little to no experience, and have a drive to learn, this is the place to start. They will train you on what you need to know (although the onboarding process is a bit rocky) and give you the resume experience. You can work here for 6 months to a year and then leave for another company making significantly more money. There are actually other IT companies in the Orlando area that actively seek and snipe Atlantic.net employees. If you have their name on your resume, you'll be in good with other hiring companies. Management is wonderful, I really cannot stress that enough. All the teams above you (cloud engineers, tier 3, network engineers, etc) are wonderful people and more than happy to help with confusing situations. If you show a genuine desire to learn, rather than just pushing your work on someone else, any one of them will help in any way they can.

Cons

Incredibly non-competitive wages plus no raises (not even cost of living) means that you will never make another cent more than you're making when you're hired. Hint: it's the same salary they've been offering for the last 6+ years. The owner of the company absolutely does not care whatsoever about his employees and their loyalty. He has point blank told employees to their face that they are replaceable and if they want more money, he won't hesitate to find someone else who will accept the wages. There's a member of staff who has been a loyal employee for 5 years and the owner does not know his name. In a company with under 30 employees, this is laughable at best. The company is constantly understaffed (due to the aforementioned ability to train and then leave for more money elsewhere) so the schedules can get hectic when employees quit. You have to be grossly incompetent to be fired there, which means if you're not one of those people, you have to deal with them.

Pros

I've read all of these reviews and I have to say my experienced in the short time I've been here doesn't match up... I joined Atlantic.Net just a few months ago, and while it seems clear the company has had its share of challenges, I’ve already seen TONS of meaningful improvements. The team is more cohesive, the overall attitude is extremely positive, and the people we’re hiring today seem to be several notches above in experience and professionalism. We’re having meaningful discussions and making sure we have the tools, clarity, and support we need to not just do our jobs, but to grow in them. There’s a real focus now on removing obstacles, improving documentation and training, and helping everyone understand how they contribute to the success of the company. The leadership team is actively engaged in making improvements that I think matter. They're really trying to create consistency, raise expectations, and build an environment where strong contributors can do well and feel supported. I’ve seen firsthand how decisions are being made with long-term impact in mind, not just short-term fixes. The vibe is shifting in a very real way, and I’m encouraged by the direction we’re heading.

Cons

There’s still work ahead, particularly in streamlining internal processes and continuing to reinforce a consistent culture of accountability and communication. Some old behaviors and outdated tools are being phased out, but that takes time.

Pros

Gained some initial experience in the industry Opportunities to take on a wide range of tasks (though often way out of scope) Workers were okay, management was the main problem.

Cons

Compensation is misleading; pay does not match what is advertised, if it says 100k +, you will make likely 40k, good luck. No raises, bonuses, or benefits offered regardless of performance or time served Management consistently demands more without offering support or recognition Employees are undervalued and often treated as if they lack skills or knowledge Toxic environment where hard work is exploited rather than rewarded High turnover — people are often discarded once they've been used to their limit
