Pros

Lots of exposure to different aspects of IT in general. There is a lot of room for growth and management wants to see people to advance within the company. As long you're willing to learn a lot, this position is very satisfying. Management is very understanding and willing to help. Excellent place to start your career. I don't know where'd I'd be without the experience that I gained from this company.

Cons

If you aren't used to having a lot on your plate it can be stressful. Sometimes you work under a time crunch.

Pros

Zero experience required. Great manager.

Cons

Management: The company is incredibly slow at doing anything. Feels like every little thing requires upper management buy in. They are great to work with though. Career growth: There's no annual performance review or salary increase. Promotions are hard to come by. Your direct manager will push for you to get promoted within the company, but there's simply no positions available. They used to offer Udemy for employees, but that's gone so you don't even have access to that for learning on your own. They offer no incentives to get certified, nor do they offer certification reimbursements. Duty: They say it's a great place to learn IT, but 90% of tickets are out of scope of the department by policy. Most tickets only require you to relay messages from clients to engineers. Outside of that, you'll be running cables, performing network tests (Layer 1 - 3 only). Network troubleshooting is limited to Layer 1 and sometimes Layer 2. Pay: They pay used to be two whole dollars above minimum ($17/hr) for a while. Then the minimum wage got raised to $17.50/hr. So you'll be making minimum wage. No, you won't get paid more for graveyard shift either. Scheduling: No fixed schedules. You might start in Swing Shift, but you'll get rotated through each shift eventually. Shift rotations happen about once a quarter.
