Pros

Coworkers are smart and friendly people. Not the worst place ever. This form says I have to enter a minimum of 20 words but 12 was the best I could do for "pros" so here's another sentence.

Cons

No raises ever. Pays 15% below industry standard for all engineering positions, suspect other departments too. Management is a bunch of idiots (except for maybe 2 that have been here for a long time). Management has little respect for work/life balance, even ignoring or being oblivious to HR policies guaranteeing some rights to the employees.

Pros

Lot's of training and my manager at the time really cared about what we were doing and how we could best assist our customers

Cons

Teams were very segregated, even within your own team it would feel like pulling teeth if you asked in chat for help with something. I would sometime go against what a "supervisor" said we should do as it just did not sit right with me. Example : Senior citizen customer who had limited mobility was moving out of service area (her kids were moving her closer to take care of her) but she could not physically walk around the house to collect/disconnect hardware that belonged to Hotwire. My manager was on time away, and another manager wanted me to tell her if she doesnt she would face up to $300-500 in Unreturned Equipment Fees and that there was nothing else we could do. I was not happy with that at all, I was able to reach out to the on site manager for that community and they were more than happy to stop by that customers house and help collect things. The poor lady was in tears for how we were able to help.
