Pros

The job itself is not hard

Cons

Everything here sucks. Pay is low for this type of work. $18/hr for Tier 1. Half the issues the clients have are because some other department messed something up, but the blame always fell on the NOC and if we didn't fix the issue then we would get in trouble. The other departments in the company like to say they appreciate the NOC, but we never got any significant bonuses, raises, extra vacation days, etc. Best you could hope for was maybe a small pizza party or the leftovers from some other department's fully catered event. Team leads just sit on their butts and yell at the rest of the NOC to take calls and work specific problem tickets. Supervisors liked to say they cared about us in the NOC and wanted to help us in any way they could, but they never really helped anybody. Tulsa NOC was expected to handle all of Marietta NOC's clients, but Marietta didn't have to take any of Tulsa's clients. They kept introducing new ticket and phone systems that always broke within a few days. Whichever client complained the loudest got VIP status.

We appreciate your feedback. We value the shared experiences of our associates, both current and former. Re: Pay. Our HR team conducts extensive research on compensation on all types of roles within different regions. Competitive pay and benefit packages are always key to recruiting and retaining talent, and never more so than it is in today’s marketplace. And, we believe we are competitive in this regard. Great reminder re: blaming the problem solver. Work in the NOC is indeed challenging. Our associates in the NOC are on the frontline and are often caught in the middle, trying to resolve customer issues not of their own making. Perhaps sometimes we’re too wrapped in our own jobs that we may fail to take the time to appreciate others’ contributions on a regular basis. We will continue to work on reminding supervisors, as well as other departments, of the absolutely vital role the NOC team plays in our success as a managed services company. Re: systems. Providing great NOC services means providing great people with great tools. We have invested heavily in this are in recent years but we realize there is more work to do. We are always looking for ways to improve our services and that involves some trial and error, Sometimes that means admitting when something isn’t working and making a switch. Improving our service delivery infrastructure is, and will likely always be, a process of continuous improvement. And finally, the old saying is probably too often still true, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Pros

You get exposure to a variety of networks and clients Small cert incentives

Cons

Leadership at all levels is out of touch with the day to day operations of the company. If the Peter Principle needs a case study, choose Sagenet. The company is extremely top heavy. Non competitive pay No training programs Most departments are toxic and hate each other. Sales, PM's, Execs, Support, Engineering etc. Any chance to throw another department under the bus is always taken. There is no common vision for Sagenet. The company is just floating.

SageNet continually monitors compensation and benefits data in our industry and various regions, to ensure that we remain competitive as it relates to our offerings. We have also continued to invest in our training opportunities, including having a dedicated Organizational Development Manager who ensures that we provide the training opportunities our associates need to be successful in their work. SageNet is a lean but growing organization on all levels, which does provide opportunities to be exposed to various facets of the business. We also operate in an extremely competitive, highly technical industry. This can create some internal friction and misunderstandings between departments. We try through lunch-and-learns, All Hands meetings, and various recognition programs to reinforce the contributions all associates make to our shared success. There remains work to do, but our employee surveys indicate that we are making incremental progress.

Pros

It's a great entry level job to learn as much as you can.

Cons

Pay is poor and upper management is extremely clique oriented. Learn as much as you can and take your talents elsewhere.
