Everything here sucks.
Pay is low for this type of work. $18/hr for Tier 1.
Half the issues the clients have are because some other department messed something up, but the blame always fell on the NOC and if we didn't fix the issue then we would get in trouble.
The other departments in the company like to say they appreciate the NOC, but we never got any significant bonuses, raises, extra vacation days, etc. Best you could hope for was maybe a small pizza party or the leftovers from some other department's fully catered event.
Team leads just sit on their butts and yell at the rest of the NOC to take calls and work specific problem tickets.
Supervisors liked to say they cared about us in the NOC and wanted to help us in any way they could, but they never really helped anybody.
Tulsa NOC was expected to handle all of Marietta NOC's clients, but Marietta didn't have to take any of Tulsa's clients.
They kept introducing new ticket and phone systems that always broke within a few days.
Whichever client complained the loudest got VIP status.
