Pros

Often your direct leadership will have your back if you are competent and a team player. Your colleagues tend to be pretty awesome. You will be given a lot of trust and personal choice if you prove you are good at your job and trustworthy.

Cons

Next to no paths for promotion or real improvement in a role. You can be doing a ton of extra work and be praised for this, while being told no for promotions and being paid a dollar or less for a raise. Corporate GoDaddy is cold, calculating, and doesn't care about their clients or employees. The bottom line and cost cutting is king. And they bankroll more bonuses. They laid off hundreds a few days ago, some with no notice same day terminations. Both in leadership and in customer facing roles. This has resulted in demoralization and concern for job security for the colleagues not let go. They are fully looking into ways to automate more roles into obsolescence over the next few years. And corporate senior management is apparently excited about this.

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.
