What is it like working as a Systems Administrator?
June 2016
Systems Administrator:
Pros: Benefits are amazing, they have many items available for members as well as family members.
Cons: Depending on location and leadership can make or break your experience. People leave bosses not jobs but in the military, you can't leave the boss.
May 2016
Solving Puzzles All Day Long.
Systems Administrator:
Pros: The best thing about working as a Salesforce Administrator is that I'm constantly learning and thinking. Between puzzling out all the relationships in our existing database and considering new uses, upgrades, etc, my brain is always engaged.
Cons: I definitely feel a small amount of anxiety at all times that something could go wrong in our Salesforce instance, whether through my own fault or some other problem, that's going to cause me a whole lot of work and our organization a lot of pain. Fortunately, that usually doesn't come to pass.
May 2016
It's stressful and not worth the pay.
Systems Administrator:
Pros: I like working with computers. I don't like working with baby boomers who think computers are made of magic.
Cons: It's a fast paced job in which 100% accuracy is expected. No one ever notices when the systems are working correctly 98.9% of the time. You get an earful whenever their password doesn't work because they forgot their credentials and locked themselves out. So many more things I could list, but what's the point.
April 2016
All technical work.
Systems Administrator:
Whatever you learn at school applies in real life.
April 2016

No salary hike.
No career improvement program.
Lack of technical support assistance.
March 2016
Systems Administration.
Systems Administrator:
Pros: When everything is going well, you get to develop, create and maintain awesome things that makes other employees lives easier.
Cons: If something breaks, especially when it's something that affects multiple people, the job becomes really stressful, and this is where you must ensure no mistakes are made to lengthen the downtime.
March 2016
Time to time punctuality is most important in any job.
