Decent First IT Job/Dead End - Data Center Technician H5 Data Centers Employee Review

Pros

They were willing to hire me with nothing more than a CompTIA A+. Some were hired with less than that, so it's a foot in the door at least. Benefits were decent, and the PTO/Sick Leave/Holidays started accumulating immediately. Plenty of time to study if you are motivated. Other DCSTs and hourly staff are easy to get along with. Two years after starting at H5, I had moved jobs twice, got a bunch of certs, including a CCNA, and was able to get a NOC Analyst II role. My time at H5 was short, but it helped me get a better job.

Cons

The DCST position is mostly a security guard role. Very little actual IT experience is involved. There is no path upward. H5 does not promote DCSTs to anything besides maintenance, shipping, and receiving, or DCST II. Some of the corporate people are horrible humans. They leave dirty dishes lying around for a custodian to pick up, literally laugh in the face of hourly people, and look down their noses at us DCSTs.

Pros

Really great place to work, friendly coworkers, great management, no stress, very chill.

Cons

Some days are not very busy and can leave you with some downtime, not great if you get bored easily. Data center is 24/7 so you might have to work nights or weekends.
