Pros

the good and bad experiences don't make you sleep better pretend to assist you

Cons

Along with management they don't take accountability for their actions. They keep things hush, like not one can see the disregard of the flock. They feel like a collaboration of local and international surveillance agencies that manifest among each other comforting their nesting place. They can't align themselves with their own treatment given. There is a lot of fear spread across the wingspan.

Pros

The people you work with. I enjoyed everyone I worked with at Softlayer. Free drinks, and some food and snacks supplied.

Cons

Shift work which was not flexible, you work the shift your placed in. Management, which will get better with experience, wasn't the best it could be. But the manager was a good person otherwise. Pay rate for the work expected wasn't inline with other positions elsewhere. My previous employment in IT that didn't require any experience in IT, paid more than this position which had a list of IT requirements. Lack of career progression.
