Fantastic stepping stone into server admin

Pros

The management (one individual in particular) is incredibly fantastic and will go above and beyond to help the employees in any way they can. If you are looking for a start in server administration, have little to no experience, and have a drive to learn, this is the place to start. They will train you on what you need to know (although the onboarding process is a bit rocky) and give you the resume experience. You can work here for 6 months to a year and then leave for another company making significantly more money. There are actually other IT companies in the Orlando area that actively seek and snipe Atlantic.net employees. If you have their name on your resume, you'll be in good with other hiring companies. Management is wonderful, I really cannot stress that enough. All the teams above you (cloud engineers, tier 3, network engineers, etc) are wonderful people and more than happy to help with confusing situations. If you show a genuine desire to learn, rather than just pushing your work on someone else, any one of them will help in any way they can.

Cons

Incredibly non-competitive wages plus no raises (not even cost of living) means that you will never make another cent more than you're making when you're hired. Hint: it's the same salary they've been offering for the last 6+ years. The owner of the company absolutely does not care whatsoever about his employees and their loyalty. He has point blank told employees to their face that they are replaceable and if they want more money, he won't hesitate to find someone else who will accept the wages. There's a member of staff who has been a loyal employee for 5 years and the owner does not know his name. In a company with under 30 employees, this is laughable at best. The company is constantly understaffed (due to the aforementioned ability to train and then leave for more money elsewhere) so the schedules can get hectic when employees quit. You have to be grossly incompetent to be fired there, which means if you're not one of those people, you have to deal with them.

Pros

Entirely a hands on job. Great way to learn the ropes. It is a data center after all. Use them how they will use you and move on. Just know that from day one and you might keep your sanity and health. A lesson I learned the hard way.

Cons

Grinding the stone gets tiresome. Especially when pleading with management how to do things better. Unfortunately the higher ups have no management or people skills. Giving constructive criticism from a technical point of view that what we are doing is absolutely wrong is a jab to their ego and a personal attack on their position. Attempting to climb the ladder is futile and from what turns into opportunity turns into heartache. Projects will be proposed, started, and never finished or even the more insane; projects that have no tangible meaning will be initiated and finished. Basically doing the wrong thing is normal, planning for anything is negated, and catastrophe is met with panic. While one would think to learn from their mistakes; they do not and shrug it off and move in in the context of more sales, unicorns and shiny things. It's like high school all over again. Highly depressing. There are double standards when it comes to techs, and other senior administrator who does what he pleases which is usually doing nothing. There are only about 8 techs, most unskilled because of the pay rate. This causes a lot of the work to be skewed. Despite, raises are never given, supplies are never bought, people are never hired, spending is not an option. Even so with the few employees here, I have never met the CEO. Pizza for the Christmas party. No coffee pot or coffee. Asking for a raise is met with double talk and lies. Being chastised by email is a usual occurrence for miniscule things, and usually because lack of proper guidance, procedure or support. Management refuses to actually show up and prefers to work from home. Of course, they are doing nothing. It's just sad to think how intimidated I was and it turned out this way.

Pros

Gained some initial experience in the industry Opportunities to take on a wide range of tasks (though often way out of scope) Workers were okay, management was the main problem.

Cons

Compensation is misleading; pay does not match what is advertised, if it says 100k +, you will make likely 40k, good luck. No raises, bonuses, or benefits offered regardless of performance or time served Management consistently demands more without offering support or recognition Employees are undervalued and often treated as if they lack skills or knowledge Toxic environment where hard work is exploited rather than rewarded High turnover — people are often discarded once they've been used to their limit
