Pros

The job is a great entry-level position. Maybe for someone who is new to IT. The pay is decent.

Cons

Promotions are nearly impossible even after years with the company. The work is nonstop chats, calls, and tickets, basically a call center job. Remote tasks are limited to simple things like password resets, Windows updates, or software installs, nothing that builds real skills. Schedules are strict with 4x10 shifts and mandatory 30 minute lunches. There’s no flexibility like you’d expect in a salaried role. Training doesn’t exist and there’s no time to focus on career growth. Management repeats the same line about improvements, but the major problems never get fixed. Burnout is constant. If I had the chance to do it over, I would not have joined the OTS remote help desk team.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
