Pros

The company definitely takes care of their employees. To be able to run your own facility, this is the closest to being an entrepreneur.

Cons

They do not pay you what you are worth. The advancement is hard due to no openings above me. For me to step up, I would have to take on a bigger facility which means moving to another state.

This company is REACTIVE....Not PROACTIVE.

Pros

Not a lot of hoops to jump through in a senior management position. If I needed something for my employees to operate more efficiently, I submitted my request and it was usually approved quickly. ONCE the previous Operations Manager was fired and I could submit requests without hearing about a budget.

Cons

They HAD the Las Vegas Convention Center for over 15 years. Again, if they were proactive instead of reactive with their technology and stayed current/upgraded their facility things maybe different. Instead they lost around 30 percent of their annual revenue to a company without experience....Cox had to work (and still continues to upgrade) a lot of man hours just to bring the LVCC up to what most IT Companies consider.... A standard facility with WiFi capabilities. SCN pays their techs and data managers HORRIBLY. They can't keep good employees because they are considered "just bodies!" The services are overpriced as hell too! C'mon...$1,500 for internet service for a single drop? No VPN either.

Pros

On the plus side the work was generally pretty easy outside a few crunch times each year. Coworkers were generally nice and the paid time off was generous and flexible. I never saw any full time employees getting sent home when there wasn't enough work so even when it was dead you could expect to get 40 hours, even if you basically just watched training videos all day long and shuffled around irrelevant old paperwork. Pretty easy to get hired part time if you need something to get your foot into a technology/networking related position or want a low key customer service job. They would reimburse for certain certifications relevant to your position.

Cons

As far as the people who I knew what they made, across the board the pay scales were relatively low and the work was easy to the point of being boring so there was pretty steady turnover. The company felt like a dinosaur overall, most of the people with motivation would move on soon enough so all that was left were people who didn't think they had other options and were content to coast along.
