Avantages
There was a lot of potential with the synergies of the consolidated companies. We were told as companies were being acquired into the TierPoint brand that the people, process and products were the focus. Time has not reinforced that claim.
Inconvénients
As true colors have continued to show from the top down, employees are not happy and are leaving in droves. I wouldn't expect that to ring a positive message with management, but the bleeding doesn't stop. If you aren't in St. Louis, you aren't a priority. I'm sure that isn't true for every position, but quality management existed in many regions outside of St. Louis but they weren't in the back yard of Cequel 3. Unfortunate for those who really bought in to the idea that TierPoint was the next great Datacenter and Cloud company.
