Pros
Great learning environment, friendly coworkers, small business feel
Cons
Low pay, but not many other than that
Pros
This is a great company to work for. It frustrates me to see some of these bad reviews by folks that were not happy. I don't know that any job would make them happy. Several people have left and came back. The team supports spreading your wings. There is lots of encouragement to do training that is paid for by the company. Some take advantage, Some don't. The expectations are simple, come to work and do your job. Ask questions.
Cons
I don't know that this is a con, you will work all day. You will have lunch and take breaks, but you will work. documentation is getting better, but there is a lot to keep up with. Its been a struggle ever since I started. Communication is tough sometimes. There seems to be a lot of communication but it comes in different forms. Sometimes its teams, sometimes its text, sometimes is email. you all should pick one and stick to it.
Pros
- Exposure to a wide array of technologies by virtue of the immense scale of properties - Friendly workers (not management)
Cons
- Ticket rot is common. 864 properties supporting thousands of users while only having a handful of techs - Reckless onboarding of properties with no documentation (and they scratch their heads and scream at their workers once they lose clients) - No desire to actually solve issues in a root-cause analysis manner, just break fix support with no care for the client's success - Basically a giant call center in which you're expected to solve issues caused by Marriott/Hilton/whomever with no ability to actually create tickets through them (basically a scam) - Ownership is never explicitly mentioned, everyday is 24/7 constant stress and putting out fires - Literally no training given at all, sink or swim mentality, sweat shop style workplace - Management will scold and scream at you - Understaffed is an understatement; it's a miracle the place is still running - You will never be given a second to think; constant, neverending phone queue perpetually with people on hold - Employees are not appreciated and instead are blamed for every issue - Laughable pay, especially for higher tier techs (their SME was making 64k and they refused to pay him more; he then proceeded to get a job paying nearly twice that, so don't listen to them when they inevitably respond to this review with the lie of them paying techs according to market averages)
