Seems like leadership doesn't care - Recensione dipendente - Systems Administrator presso Networking Technologies and Support

Good work and life balance.

There are not too many cons.

There are a few benefits worth noting. Scheduling offers some flexibility, holiday pay and double time are provided, and NTS Certificate reimbursement is available for those pursuing industry certifications.

For all that this organization offers on paper, the day to day reality tells a different story. At the heart of the issue is compensation. Pay falls below the market rate of virtually every comparable NOC in the greater Richmond, Virginia area, and raises whether annual or over the span of an entire career are not something employees can reasonably expect. Hard-earned certifications, some of which require significant time and effort to obtain, are rewarded with a mere fifty-cent pay increase, and the evaluation process following submission can stretch upward of a month. As one can imagine, this creates an environment where dedication and technical growth go largely unrewarded. Compounding the compensation issue is a performance culture that measures success by call volume rather than the quality and complexity of the ticket work that actually keeps operations running. Cross-departmental collaboration is nonexistent, limiting any opportunity to grow beyond a narrow skill set. Communication within the NOC is consistently poor, and management's treatment of lower-level employees reflects a broader lack of respect for the people doing the core work of the organization.
