Pros

I worked here for nearly 3 years. I would say it is a good entry-level IT job, that immerses you in the fundamentals of basic LAN troubleshooting, Windows services, SQL, help desk ticketing, and just general hardware/software troubleshooting. It is fully remote.

Cons

I think the pay is quite low, especially when working in the higher roles of Tier II+. And they certainly treat you like a $19/$20 hour employee. Incessant workload, and at Tier II+, you will be bearing the brunt of the customer support fallout directly resulting from over expectations imposed by the sales team on customers. There are probably better options out there once you've gained some experience - I probably shouldn't have stayed here for so long. Additionally, the company is now exclusively outsourcing Tier I's. As a Tier III, there is basically no incentive to stick around unless you try to transition over to DevOps or something. When I left, the Tier II+ turnover rate was very high. Like to the point that the outsourced Tier I's made up probably 85% of the technical support department. Overburdened, with escalated tickets from the Tier I's, team tickets, critical customer tickets (tickets coming from the biggest customers who were on thin ice because of over expectations set by the sales dept), command assigned tickets, RPower tickets (another POS I was trained on which only a handful of others were), bug validation, and more. I was a part of like 5 call/text queues in addition to what was assigned at random by command. Just very high/stressful workload relative to the compensation at Tier II+. I keep saying Tier II+ because the Tier III's never stuck around, so the roles get heavily blended.

Pros

Great team culture Competitive product Collaborative work environment

Cons

The company is undergoing much needed changes to help transform the organization - working at any company undergoing such changes is not for everybody. This isn't necessarily a Con, but for anyone looking to join HungerRush, prepare to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

Pros

It's a job at the very least. Positions outside of customer support have supporting leadership that empower their employees.

Cons

"Directors" of customer support change every few months, typically because the last found a better position. Current management is an absolute mess and squeezes the remaining people that haven't had the sense to quit or find a new job. Pay is positively awful, rate for most positions is roughly 60% below market rate and discussing pay rates is AGAINST company policy. Managers that are part of meetings often joke about the performance of frontline agents BY NAME and group listen to calls said agents participated in. One such manager (a step below the director of support) will gaslight you and everyone around you into getting their way. Customer support is comprised of back to back to back calls all day every single day with no breathing room to work on customer tickets, leading to high customer churn rates and frequent verbal abuse from customers. The assumption is that you can work your tickets between calls, which is never any longer than 5 minutes at a time. Complaints are received as "combative" by support leaders from the top all the way down (director level down to middle management).
