Pros

Decent compensation and benefits, but not the greatest.

Cons

- Position not as advertised. I came here to be a professional technician, but I'm treated like a low-end employee. - No career progression. Experience and competency are not a priority to become a senior or manager. Sucking up to management is more effective to get promoted. - Quarterly surveys are designed to improve the work environment and to have our voices heard. Management refuses to listen and encourages staff not to negative reviews. - Forced to do work for the Facilities team. Management favors the Facilities team over the network team. It also goes against company health and safety protocols to have untrained employees working in electrical rooms. (Powerpoint slides does not count as training).

Pros

Hybrid which is nice, for what the job entails pay is ok I suppose at 60k. Every Wednesday there's food for employees.

Cons

Earlier in the year the frisco office was closed down, so many employees including myself who add living arrangements now have to travel 3 days a week to the downtown office. Which is 45 minutes + with traffic. On top of that the shift times suck as someone who appreciates work life balance. 7 am to 7 pm. I would also say that there are many organizational changes and career growth seems limited.
