Pros
-Good Salary with increments every year. -Good Benefits. -Trainings, Universities and scholarships. -Depending on the area can be a good place to work for many years, even to retire. -Many good coworkers. -Very Good city to live if you think in house, schools for your children , no traffic jam (well very few times), etc. -To be part of Ozarks Electric and having the support of Ozarks Electric that at the same time receive federal and state funds ( Without that help the company wouldn’t be profitable). The people can work with recent products in the market. The connection is purely fiber and routers, switches, DSL and last mile devices are at least well recognized vendors. Not all rural ISPs have that privilege and they are forced to work with bad quality equipments or equipments with more than 20 years because lack of resources. some rural ISPs are still using technologies like frame relay or atm, coax , twister pair, dial up., etc
Cons
- There is a Micromanagement and Narcissism issue in one of the levels of the company that creates a toxic environment ( Drama and victimology is a constant). People opt to surf the situation. -Many good people on high levels but with absolutely without knowledge in Telecom and properly in ISPs. (They came from the Electrical area in Ozarks Electric ). This one creates a real issue to understand the necessities of the Field Technician, engineers and analyst that opt for surfing the situation or look for other offers in the market. -Despite the support of Ozarks Electric. OzarksGO is not a big company like ATT, Comcast, Spectrum, Google, Microsoft, etc, And as a Rural ISP's suffers many of the issues of all rural telecommunications company like lack of resources, processes, documentation, logistics, and insight properly found in low budget companies . The professionals many times are multitasking performing labors away from their backgrounds , with the culture of a family mechanical workshop and not of an ISP. Due to these characteristics . It can be a frustrating place for people coming from big companies or who want to enter to a big company because such experience can be irrelevant.
