Avantages
Hello readers, I have been working at this company for over a month going on two months now and it has been an amazing adventure. It's very hard to find the perfect balance between a blue collar job and a white collar job but I feel like this place has it perfectly. This isn't your typical IT job where you get sent to your cubicle and sit behind a glass wall for all your bosses and coworkers to observe the IT monkeys hard at work in their natural habitat. This type of job best fits people who like to move around and not be constrained to a desk and have constant new projects to complete, also you must like technology. Every day a new challenge is presented which is thrilling because my job never gets boring. The work culture is awesome, everyone is friendly and one of my big things about companies is that I can feel safe leaving my locker without a lock( now do mind you, sometimes the community bag of chips goes missing, but who is really going to go complain about a bag of chips when the company is paying you so you can afford rent, food for your family, etc..?) Maybe you lose a tool kit that the company provided you, yeah, it sucks, but it happens, but hey, you didn't pay for it and no place is perfect. I don't have time to go to they gym, so I'm at work lifting servers to get my gains. I was going to put the job is repetitive as a con, but which job is not repetitive? I wonder what you call a specialist then? A person who can't seem to stop doing the same thing I suppose? It's up to you the make the job interesting and I don't mind doing the same thing. I am goal oriented and I like to keep track of my progress. The work you do and how it is measured is not opinionated at liquid technology which is wonderful because that cuts 99% of office politics. If you like a boring work life where nothing happens, this place is perfect! You come Monday-Friday 9-5, get paid every week without free additional stress from your work environment and you get to do it all over again. We get busy, sorry, we don't care about your personal defects unless it's going to hurt work performance, and well...good luck at any job. Now I've been reading some of these other comments about this place, and it sure has changed. Also, these people most likely wouldn't sound like that if they had been doing what was expected. So....there you go... Also this company does not MICRO-MANAGE. If your mentally grown up and don't need people to tell you what to do and how to work and realize your big enough to put food into your own mouth without someone telling you how, then this place is great. A breath of old air cause thats how things used to be where people knew how to work and get work done! Mistake kindness for weakness and obviously someone will show you the door. Also, as you work you're allowed to listen to music or to pod cast which is great if you value freedom. I can technically learn something at work as I do my job, like a foreign language. My mind is free which is becoming ever so rare in today's work culture. Take it for what you like, this is my experience and I know how to make the most out of my time. Best wishes to all. (Fun fact, Every Monday, our boss goes out and buys us breakfast and every month we get a company paid lunch)
Inconvénients
Like I said, no place is perfect. This is not the place for programmers or people interested in cyber security etc... Read the description of the position you are applying for. For some this is a career, for others it's how they pay the bills, or the small hill before the bigger hill, it's all up to you!
