Network administration, desktop support, and ERP? That's like, 3 FT jobs right there ...
Oh, and college degree a "large plus"? The whole thing reads like a job posting from 1999.
To me it says "low salary position, lots of work outside of regular office hours, in a small office without a lot of IT infrastructure."
At my old office, we had 300 people, 850 desktop computers (software company), a roomful of servers, and all in a mixed MacOS, Windows & Linux environment. We had four competent IT staff that handled it all, and none had college degrees related to computers, but they all had experience and decent salaries!
Sure, that's an example where more than half the employees were software developers, but the programmers were even more averse to administrating their boxes than the marketing staff! (Better things to do, efficiency and division of labor, etc. - typical programmer outlook!
)
Personally, I think PentaxUSA is outsourcing a huge amount of their online PR right now, and your original point should be well taken - they should look at other suppliers.
