Being an Xcentric Tech/Consultant
Pros
Xcentric is a growing company with lots of new opportunities to advance opening every month and the company offers pretty competitive benefits (medical, 401k, PTO, etc.). Although Xcentric is growing, it is not small. The company was recently purchased by RightNetworks and is pretty large now, but has still somehow maintained a level of SMB atmosphere. The company is willing to let you work remotely if you are sick, live too far away, etc. if you prove yourself and demonstrate good time management and high productivity. I really enjoy working for Xcentric.
Cons
The work is hard, I will never tell someone what we do here is simple because it's not. If you already work in IT and find a small network confusing, the work we do here may rattle your cage a bit. But don't be too intimidated, I literally did not know the difference between an SQL database and a flat file when I started and I'm learning and thriving here.
