Pros

Legitimately trying to think of one. The company used to have so many, but the last 5-6 years and it’s become all about the bottom line

Cons

Horrible training, managers only care about themselves looking good. It’s a popularity contest, as in, whoever makes the right friends gets the promotions and extra attention. The company used to care about the employees but like I said before, the past 5-6 years and it’s gone downhill. They cut everything that gave employees a reason to try and stay there. Employees are given unrealistic goals and metrics. I was a lead and ever since Covid I probably took 10 supervisor calls, on average everyday, all while expected to perform the full duties of a supervisor. My supervisor at the time told me he had me do all this, so he could step away and play video games with his son. Not even lying. At the end, the company decided to fire me for no good reason, making up a narrative, and this was only 2 weeks before I was supposed to go on parental leave. They knew what they were doing. Everyone is a number, everyone is replaceable, they only care about the bottom line and management only cares about themselves and making it seem like they’re doing something to upper management. Avoid at all costs. I capped out at $20 an hour, doing the job of a supervisor making $50k-60k. I capped out after 7 years. The pay rate then, and especially the pay rate now, is not worth the horrible job and all the upset customers that call in that GoDaddy doesn’t equip their staff to handle properly. They literally are just winging it. Not to mention doing mass US layoffs, sending support overseas for pennies on the dollar, and replacing valuable hardworking humans that have families, with mediocre AI

Pros

I am able to be my best self in the environment I work in. I am encouraged to ask questions and come up with solutions to problems - often the identification of a problem doesn't have a clearly prescribed solution - My leadership allows me to be proactive and come up with more ideal solutions than 'just what works'.

Cons

This is a large company, and mileage may vary. Bringing your best self should be a requirement for all positions in all companies.

Pros

Pros of working at GoDaddy in the beginning (now long gone as of mid-2024): Good pay and solid benefits that made me feel taken care of Fun, caring culture where I actually felt valued by the company Friendly US-based teams and supportive managers who had my back Easy tools and happy customers that made my job way less stressful All those values that made GoDaddy a great place to work have been completely wiped out by corporate greed, heavy outsourcing, and a total lack of consideration for the employees who were actually making them money.

Cons

Cons of working at GoDaddy as of mid-2024 (what replaced the old good stuff): Low pay with shrinking benefits and commissions that make you feel undervalued and stressed Toxic, fear-based culture driven by corporate greed where employees are treated like disposable costs Heavy outsourcing to cheap overseas teams with unsupportive managers who throw you under the bus Angry, frustrated customers and broken tools that make every day exhausting and way more stressful All those old values that made GoDaddy a great place to work have been completely wiped out by corporate greed, heavy outsourcing, and a total lack of consideration for the employees who are actually making them money
