Pros

The people are nice. They encourage getting certifications.

Cons

It is very toxic. It is a revolving door of responsibilities with no clear idea of what your job or role is. They try and mask the problems of unrealistic expectations and being underpaid with events that they will always claim are optional. In reality they are not and you will be penalized and looked down upon if you do not attend. If you are familiar with a traditional IT structure, then look elsewhere because there is no structure here. It hasn't always been this way though. For the past year or two it has been slowly devolving into this mess of micromanaging, no accountability in management with long hours and an ever changing expectation of what your job is. Portland Internetworks will look appealing but it is a place filled with in fighting, favoritism and a complete lack of understanding on how to treat it's employees.

Pros

*I really like everyone that I work with *The events are lots of fun, and people actually attend them *They will pay for certs you get in your free time *Really cool benefits (VTO, 2 year trip, 5 year trip, crazy company-purchased white elephant gifts, yearly company camping trip)

Cons

*Not enough technicians for the ever-increasing workload *Management's solution to clients being upset with our response time is more overtime and working harder *Management seems to care more about profits than technician stress levels *Techs should not expect to get anything resembling a full night of sleep when on call *Get any promises management makes to you in writing
