Pros

Great entry-level job for people with zero system O administration/web hosting experience. After 1-2 years, get out.

Cons

Everything else. CEO is a cheapskate. Management has no real experience, pretty much making it up as they go. Cover their own mistakes, a bunch of yes-men/women. I'm guessing CEO is oblivious to what's really going on in his company. You are pushed to constantly work by interactive dashboards, where stuff is constantly red, and you need to punch replies as fast as possible just so "the queue is clear". (pretty much a virtual factory). Entry level education is excellent, but higher-level training is non-existent. Staff retention is abysmally poor, due to the extremely high stress people burn out quickly and quit. Those who stay long, either don't care anymore and milk it as much as possible or are almost crazy. Most of the staff is rotated on a yearly basis, they're constantly looking for "new talent".

Pros

If you want to go into Linux and do not have any prior job experience, this is the perfect job! A fast paced environment which forces you to think of your feet. Great people, laid-back atmosphere.

Cons

It's great for beginners, but not so much for experienced admins (that either come in with some experience, or become experienced during their stay at Touch Support). If you have been a Level 3 for 6 months it's definitely time for you to move on from cPanel and find another job (vanilla Linux). It's harsh but that's the truth. Touch Support is making money from small clients, selling tickets/phones/chat services and your job is to handle the client's needs. There is very little room for project work and to learn something new (outside of the hosting business and cPanel)

Pros

Opportunity to learn about system administration and how to work with a team. That is probably it. There aren't a lot of pros.

Cons

Pay is ridiculously small and insulting. Also, after 3 months of work you stop learning about administration and you are ordered to follow the procedures that someone else wrote without any explanation. Also you have to wash the dishes as they are trying to cut all expenses. And even if you get promotion it would still be bad because you can get much better treatment at any other company. Touch support overloads some departments with work while others are having normal load.
