Pros

Occasional small and cheap treats from the company, free soda in the fridge, ping pong table in the break room, good for experience in the tech field, and a part time job while going to school.

Cons

Training is poor/lackluster has a very large learning curve, old hardware for workstations, favoritism is a problem, pay isn't competitive for the industry, advancement is almost non existent.

We appreciate the hard work of so many of our long term employees. Nearly every one of our Sys Admins, Developers, DC Techs/Network Engineers, and department managers have been promoted because of their performance. If you felt you were not given those opportunities, I can promise we did everything possible to communicate ways in which you could grow professionally. We work hard to provide employees with a comfortable working environment, opportunities to learn and grow, and steady employment. With that said, we can always do better.

Pros

Great working environment, awesome employees. Managers really help guide you along your career path.

Cons

Don't expect opportunities often for moving up. Usually 1-2 years for a position to open up.

Thank you for the favorable comments, and for your years of service! We try hard to take care of our employees. Westhost has been a stepping stone for literally hundreds of Technical Support staff over the past 15 years. We always try to promote internally first, when opening new positions. We wish there were more advancement opportunities, but certainly take advantage of internal staff when openings become available!
