Pros
None really, other than being able to telecommute, and that has been recently taken away from employees that are within 45 miles of an office.

Ahh, where to begin? First of all, I have worked for some really great technical companies in my 30+ year career working with and managing most any platform that can run Unix or Linux, Hewlett-Packard (Pre-Carly...lol), AT&T, Georgia Pacific, Delta Airlines, IBM to name a few, but Working at Tierpoint was the worst of the worst, and being that I have had the opportunity to work at many different companies and cultures, I know a bad egg when I see it. Tierpoint is a server hosting company with mix of various flavors of unix/linux and windows. The unix/linux environments are so disorganized, anyone coming in new would struggle due to lack of documentation of internal procedures (internal management of monitoring, locating ip addresses / hostnames of servers, locating vcenter or vcd information for the servers they manage, and you are criticized if you ask questions. I would say someone coming in new with a solid unix/network/storage background would struggle for the first year or so just trying to figure out where everything is and the 10,000 wiki pages that contain documentation, then having to deal with a director that only looks at how many tickets you close. that coupled with the fact that direct managers change out about once every 18 months ( I have reported to 2 different managers in less that 2 years and the current one is on the way out). There are some sharp people at Tierpoint, but there is absolutely zero teamwork among them. After 1 year and 11 months, I had enough, also, I had accrued approx 2 weeks of vacation that I was not paid after I left the company, when I enquired about it through the HR dept, I was informed of a "small change" in 2017 to the "employee handbook" that was kept quiet. Out of all the companies I have worked for, I have never heard of a company not paying out accrued vacation when leaving their employment either voluntarily or involuntarily, but with the track record that Tierpoint has with it's employees, I am not surprised. So the bottom line is , if you have better that average unix/linux/vmware / storage skills, there are much better places to work with better pay and less aggravation than Tierpoint.
