Pros

Working from home and moderate employee benefits.

Cons

From very my first interaction with GoDaddy, and throughout my entire two years of employment, the consistency of disinformation never stopped. During the initial hiring process , I was lead to believe my position would be a sales centric role proving quality products, with uncapped commissions, minimal IT work, with an emphasis on PTO that was available at any time; this could not have been further from the truth. A normal day consist of taking 30-60 calls, 90% of which are severely disgruntled business owners having issues with their products who are generally hung out to dry by the "solutions" available. In the same act you are expected to up sale customers, as this accounts for a majority of the revenue produced. A heavy percentage of these sales are for low quality products that the customer does not need and in a lot of cases, causes more problems for their business. Managers will specifically tell you verbatim how to word falsities for specific products so the consumer believes the purchase is essential. It does not feel good to knowingly scam your way to quota every single week. If you fail to exceed quota consistently, you are then subjected to a shift change which happens every six months, for the entire department. Management shuffles the higher grossing employees to more relaxed shifts, with comfortable hours and lengthier breaks, opposed to the lower tiers who are designated with extremely awkward hours and minimal break time. Commissions are capped, giving literally no incentives once you meet the limit. When a top producer for the entire company addressed his concerns a for the capped commissions in a meeting he was told and I quote "to seek opportunities else where if not satisfied". The PTO is a joke, you are in a department of over two hundred people, in which you are expected to abide by a maximum of 40 hours PTO for a given day. Each shift consist of 8-10 hours, meaning only 4-5 people out of the entire department are allowed to use PTO for that day. Due to this you are expected to schedule PTO 2-3 months in advance with a convoluted automated call out system. PTO is only made available 90 days in advance, making it super difficult in the summer and holiday seasons to get any time off for vacation. This job is draining, degrading and low paying. This company reeks of corporate greed and I recommend anyone who wants somewhat of a fulfilling job to seek opportunities else where.

Pros

I've been with this company now for 10 years and I love it. It's a fantastic place to work. There's plenty of venues for assistance if you need help of any kind. The hours are reasonable and flexible. I had all my children during my tenure with GoDaddy and the support, time off and accommodations were nothing short of outstanding. I love the team I work with. There's a lot of room for growth and internal opportunities. The leadership here is unlike anywhere I've worked previously. GoDaddy has an eye for leadership talent and it shows. Overall, I love the company I work for.

Cons

I wouldn't say it's a 'con' but opportunities for growth require initiative, Expanding your comfort zone and getting to know people really help.

Pros

Great benefits, cool people (not including leadership)

Cons

- You'll be worked like a slave, told when you can take your breaks and lunches. - Boy's Club. If you're in it, you can get away with lying to customers, breaking company policy, and basically whatever you want. If you're not part of it, watch your back, you'll be hyper-scrutinized for every action you take. - Commissions are capped, so top performers are limited. - This is not a true sales job, you are taking inbound customer service calls and will be expected to do technical support and deal with escalated inbound customers. - Much of the job has been outsourced to a Business Partner Organization (BPO) in the Philippines. Because they aren't true GoDaddy employees, they are allowed to operate like the wild wild west. Lying to customers, selling them duplicate products, deleting things from their accounts and reselling them the same product. Basically a complete legal nightmare... but you aren't allowed to complain about it and you are expected to fix all the problems they create.
