Bluehost Reviews

Pros

Lots of great things in the break rooms, pool, gym, fooz ball, video games - work with you to get your stats and understanding of webhosting

Cons

They are getting too big of a company and pushing sales and sales more and more, they stopped caring about ACT (Average Call Time) just get 1 sale per call.

Advice to Management

Needs to stop pushing so much sales, go back to your roots, understand why we got to be big in the first place.

Pros

They don't make you take customers' abuse.

Cons

Way too focused on sales and I watched the company reputation plummet.

Advice to Management

Stop trying to make support technicians sell using shady tactics.

Pros

For some employees, the company offers extensive flexibility and moderate benefits.

Advice to Management

Company culture needs to be improved, this can be done through facilitating more conversations between various teams/departments.

Pros

This is a tech company that should ride off into the sunset. In the beginning the perks and joy was great. The past is the best part of this company.

Cons

Management and bro culture. It's tricky to be a company when the mother ship calling the shots is in a different state.

Advice to Management

Pause and think, and be able to articulate the rationale as to why choices are being made.

Pros

I loved how this place kick started my into my technical career. The people were great, it was tight knit, and everyone always wanted to help each other out to collectively be better.

Cons

There was always poor communication between upper-management, management, and the lowest level. That and they decidedly laid off 500+ destroying the awesome employee dynamic they had.

Advice to Management

Keep employees as a focus, and don't treat them as expendable. You can teach the skills, but you can't teach someone to have a good personality.

Pros

All my troubles seemed so far away, now i need the old Bluehost to come back to stay. Oh I believe in yesterday... :)

They got bought out by a corporation who cares more about profits than they do about customers.

Advice to Management

Rally employees and buy the company back. Make it a privately held company again! :)

Cons

Pros

Started out as a great company when I first came on board in 2011.
