Pros

A wealth of knowledge for those who enjoy learning, each coworker brings a different set of strengths and is more than willing to share their knowledge. Also, training materials and Microsoft certification tests are covered by the company instead of being required at entry. Considering how pricey those tests can get and the time it takes to study on your own for them this is a big plus! There are no crazy "handle time" metrics like a call center job and it's not mindless drone work. Management recognizes performance, self motivation, and customer service. Not a good place to go if you want to just recite a script all day and pick up a paycheck. You're not treated like a cog in the machine, you're trated instead like a sysadmin in training. Office is very professionally set up so it's comfortable to work and there's plenty to keep you occupied when you're on a break. Management is very open to suggestions if there's anything you need with an open-door policy that isn't just for corporate buzzword bingo. There's also a sense of pride you get for knowing that you're keeping clients' websites live and businesses running. Much more rewarding than consumer-level help desk.

Cons

The wide offerings are intimidating so you have to be willing to put some time into learning. Expectations are high, but reasonably so considering the damage that can be done if you don't know what you're doing. Shifts can change, so if you are adamantly opposed to second or third shift (afternoon-to-night and late-night-to-day) you may be disappointed. Open 365 days a year means you'll end up working a holiday at some point. Many clients are international and have cultural attitudes (or just accents) that can frustrate people with little patience. Not a good fit for techs that don't like customer service as well.

Pros

I left my previous place of work in search of something with a bit more exposure to larger scale technologies. My previous experience was with small scale Windows networks, so I wasn't without experience. The interview went well and I was hired at a very reasonable wage at an entrance level position in tech support. Though the training was a bit improvised, I would hardly call it inadequate as some of the other reviews have. I find that if you're willing to at least put in the effort to solve a problem, those around you with the experience or knowledge are more than willing to help. As a testament to the effectiveness of Client Intellect as a learning environment, I can honestly say I've learned more here in a year than I had in the past 7 years of my IT experience. On that note, they do give you the resources and materials to pursuit a variety of certification tracks as well. The team is friendly and quite inclusive, a description that doesn't apply to many tech based environments. Client Intellect definitely has a unique culture about it (I mean that in a positive way!). You can tell its a place that puts thought into the well-being of it's employees and provides some really cool facilities to help lighten up their day (game room, arcade machine, pool table, TV, wifi, ect) My most notable "pro" for Client Intellect would have to be that the management staff really does make it worth your while to go above and beyond your expected duties. For better or worse, you're visible. Every customer interaction does give them the opportunity to leave feedback. If you put forth your best efforts, and it shows, it will be seen and rewarded.

Cons

24/7 work hours can be rough, but your shift stays pretty static for the most part. Given the fact that the largest part of Client Intellect is it's support staff, you do deal with issues on a day to day basis. That can lead to some intense customer interaction, but nothing that would otherwise be absent anywhere else I suppose (and certainly far from the level I've experienced elsewhere.) I suppose some might also consider the visibility of your actions as a potential negative. As long as you do your best to provide customer service and exhibit an ability to learn and apply knowledge, that really should not be an issue.

Pros

I have worked for Client Intellect now for 5 years. I work as a project manager. Almost every week I have new projects and must come up with many solutions in a timely manner. Each project is new and challenging and always keeps me on my toes. Many projects I am left to my own decision making and have direction in the process but allowed the freedom to work on my own and come up with my own concepts and solutions on any given problem. Huge plus we get work with the newest software and update technologies. I am also not limited to price if the solution resolves the issue and gives us added benefits. Each new project is challenging and I love working in an environment where I can throw out ideas and brainstorm for solutions.

Cons

Very high standards when it comes to customer service and can be stressful at times but the rewards are truly felt when you receive tons of positive reviews and compliments from your clients. It makes it all worthwhile knowing you are giving your clients not just the best possible service but the most elite services you can provide in this industry.
