Pros

-A lot of learning opportunities -Flexible scheduling around school -Great co-workers -Free food that is actually half-way past decent -Nice new office -Comfy chairs

Cons

-New owner, EIG, cut costs to increase profit at the price of the product the company offers, plain and simple. Unfortunately HostGator front line-support is forced to deal with the fallout and the company's reputation has spiraled as a result. -Compensation for admins is no where near industry standard. -Understaffed after EIG cleaned house ("re-structured"). -Parking situation is a bad joke. -The relaxed workplace might be too relaxed. The lack of professionalism can get tiring.
