We are looking to fill one more Desktop Support position in Athens, MI. I believe the other position is being offered to a goon (or a friend of a goon), so maybe we can luck out again.
-Pay is $19-20/hr, with employer paid healthcare
-Laid back environment
-Education reimbursement if you are in school
-Generous training budget within the department. IT staff are encouraged to attend 2 trainings or conferences per year
-Professional growth is encouraged
Please email me at konge.doggles@gmail.com if you are interested. I'd post the official posting, but it is outdated and in my opinion does more harm than good.
My coworker is the friend of the goon. He's totally jazzed and the healthcare goes way, way further than anyone would expect. Those benefits are awesome. I would've hopped right on it was it not a 3 hour round trip commute and my girlfriend hadn't *just* moved here from 3 hours away and we signed a lease.
Here's hoping something opens up at the office in the city I'm in because *drat* it'd be nice to work for this place.

So, to give back after this sub-forum helped get me where I am now.
Here's a job posting from my work! Looking for a Network Engineer. 
The client is fully remote. We’d like a candidate in the Central Time Zone. If they’re in the Houston area the salary will be slightly higher since we expect them to be in the office 4 days a week, with one work from home day approved. If they’re outside 50 miles they’ll be 100% remote except for mandatory company events a couple times a year (Employer pays for that travel) but the compensation will be lower.
The base for someone fully remote with entry-level certs and operational experience in either Palo or Fortinet would be $70K for full time exempt. In-office will start at $75K. If the person has any certs above entry level, for example PCNA or PCNE for Palo or Fortinet Certified Solution Specialist – Network Security, we’ll increase the offer accordingly. For exceptional candidates, say senior-level engineers with multiple advanced certifications and experience, Employer will make competitive offers to match this skill level.
The candidate will be reviewed at 90 days and annually for merit increase based on performance. During the interview process we’ll have two meetings. The first will be an introduction. The second will be a technical discussion to gauge the person’s experience. The types of questions will depend on the person’s experience and cert level.
All new hires are FTE and immediately eligible for benefits. There is still a 90-day evaluation period and waiting period for 401k, vacation and training budget eligibility. After 90 days the new hire will receive a performance review and 12-month objectives.
The new hire will not be required to participate in the team on-call schedule for the first two months and will be given time to shoulder surf, join customer cadences and learn the procedures and begin performing tasks during business hours. After two months the person will be added to the on call rotation, assuming they’ve received the necessary credentials from the client to perform work (this isn’t always the case, and we provide exemptions from responsibility during on call in that circumstance).
The new hire will be assigned a mentor who will guide them in getting familiar with Company and the client’s procedures. Since this role will support a single client with very specific functions and procedural requirements then on-boarding should be straightforward.
Technically the engineer’s role will be to manage Palo Alto firewalls with a specific client and to assist in supporting the customer’s Broadcom SASE solution. The former will be the primary requirement, with the latter being learned over time since it’s not a ubiquitous skillset.
This role requires attendance of multiple meetings daily with the client, many of which are mandatory, starting with an 8 AM cadence every weekday. The candidate should be prepared to attend these unless they have specific point-in-time requirements for absences (emergencies, sick days, planned PTO). The client in this case is very structured but also very much expects the Company team to be available and monitor the client’s communication channels (Teams, Outlook) for requests, so the new hire will be in regular communication with both Company and the client’s engineer, peer-level and leadership. The client relies on us frequently to provide architectural guidance, follow best practice and engage with the client’s vendors, while also requiring us to communicate with the client’s team clearly, following all of their procedures, before engaging in any activity that might change operational functionality. The change control process, while efficient and easy to follow, is extremely specific and must be followed, but the first two months of onboarding will provide ample time to learn these. All ITSM activities are done in ServiceNow and the entire Company team supporting the client use the product and know the procedures. In addition, while we are not engaged in endpoint or user support in general, we are responsible for several critical endpoint security components- namely the Global Protect client and the Broadcom SASE agent, so we often engage end users for these specific functions when they require assistance or exceptions.
This is a ton of information, but we’re looking for a person used to this sort of environment, who enjoys technical challenges in an organized and structured environment where they have both the freedom to engage the client’s team and an understanding of the criticality of the client procedures. Given the client is a healthcare organization, this shouldn’t be surprising. The client is a great partner of *Company Name* with a multi-year commitment, so the right candidate will have a great opportunity to join a solid team. Moreover, in the unlikely future event the client were to discontinue the relationship with us, we reassign talented engineers to other clients. This isn’t expected, but this role isn’t necessarily tied to that particular contract.
Hope this helps find the right candidates.
If you have PMs you can contact me there, if not you can send your resume to garcia.ddg01@gmail.com and I'd be more than happy to send it up the chain seeing as how there are a few of us Goons working here and we will see what we can do!
Keep in mind I'm just the messenger so any other questions or particulars about the position I can relay to my supervisor and see if we can get a dialogue going. Good luck to everyone, don't lose hope.
I came here to post this. I am the team lead for this position, I also got this job through this forum and wanted to give back. Thanks for beating me to it! If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me as well.

I've got a lot of desktop support experience, some cloud and comptia certs but little networking exp. I'm guessing you'd want someone with some formal networking experience eh?
You would definitely need to know how VPNs and NATs work and know your subnetting inside and out; it is a reasonably complex environment with 20 Palo Altos managed through Panorama. The CCNA would be a good foundation, if not the PCNSA/PCNSE.

What if you live in Houston but aren't interested in having to commute 4 days a week because it's 2024?
I honestly can't speak to this because I live in Michigan, have been employed there two years, and will be seeing the office for the first time at the end of this month.
