Pros

Allot of the people I work with here are amazing individuals

Cons

Godaddy used to care about their employees however since they have gone public every dept is going downhill fast. I have been told I am replaceable several times which is against their so called, "Culture." Since they have gone public Go Daddy looks to pinch pennies anywhere they can and it seems evident that all they care about is money now and the bottom line. Minimal care for quality, customers, or even employees.

We appreciate your candid feedback, it's disappointing to hear that you're seeing negative changes at GoDaddy. We work hard to make sure that customers and employees are both front and center for decisions made - leveraging our 'Voice of Customer' and internal 'GoDaddy Voice' feedback. As a company, GoDaddy is well above average with our spending on employees and benefits, with the belief that happy employees drive better customer outcomes at all levels. My ask, please share your concerns and ideas with your managers and leaders. If you don't feel positive changes are underway after that, please engage me as well and we'll work to make things better for customers and our employees.

Pros

Great benefits, cool people (not including leadership)

Cons

- You'll be worked like a slave, told when you can take your breaks and lunches. - Boy's Club. If you're in it, you can get away with lying to customers, breaking company policy, and basically whatever you want. If you're not part of it, watch your back, you'll be hyper-scrutinized for every action you take. - Commissions are capped, so top performers are limited. - This is not a true sales job, you are taking inbound customer service calls and will be expected to do technical support and deal with escalated inbound customers. - Much of the job has been outsourced to a Business Partner Organization (BPO) in the Philippines. Because they aren't true GoDaddy employees, they are allowed to operate like the wild wild west. Lying to customers, selling them duplicate products, deleting things from their accounts and reselling them the same product. Basically a complete legal nightmare... but you aren't allowed to complain about it and you are expected to fix all the problems they create.
