It is what it is. - Linux Systems Administrator I HostGator.com Employee Review

HostGator was a terrible company to work for as a front-line sysadmin. They overprovision just as much as any of their competitors, and don't empower their employees to build better solutions that would provide more stability and make life as a linux admin saner. The daily targets for # of tickets/chats/calls worked are absurd, even considering that the vast majority of budget webhosting customers open service requests for non-problems >90% of the time. The general atmosphere was terrible. The catered meals were pretty nasty most of the time.
