Pros

You will learn a lot about basic web hosting, if you didn't already. Ehh free coffee and free "lunch" I put in quotes as sometimes it may not be lunch that you would touch. Gym and good break room.

Cons

This is not a career by any means if you are a Jr. Admin unless you know people already there and tangle with them and swallow their s*** Not an honest company when it comes to customers. Unless the customers complains to hell. Up selling and half a** trained people make it a b*tch to work for. For instance some people don't even know what Ajax is. Half ass people with half ass training. We do Google for you and maybe a bit more - like creating a ticket for your issue when can't find an answer on Google. Good if you want a temp job while finding something else in the tech industry, because trust me you will want to. Your quota and numbers will matter over actually helping any customer out. Seems cool at first, but the perks are there just to lure in idiots, it seems. Basically, the company is a whole facade of "cool". This is economy web hosting with economy compensation. Avoid if you can.
