Pros

- Fast paced hosting company - Can absorb a lot of hosting knowledge quickly - Looks good on a resume

Cons

- Management uses fear and intimidation to control employee performance - It is not uncommon for the CEO to march around the office looking for people to fire - Security cameras and microphones above every cube to monitor employees remotely - Cubes and keyboards are always dirty because they are shared - Flu and other airborne sicknesses are constantly floating around due to dirty environment - Promotions and raises are based on the friendships you make with the owner and his friends - No physical security in the building or the parking lot - Bathrooms were constructed for 10-20 person office, not a 300 person call center - Upper management and middle management fail to communicate well - HR employees are married to Managers - Job expectations are too high for the low salary
