Network+, CCENT, CCNA and CCNP. What kind of expectations do you have of employees (new ones coming in to your company) in each of these certified categories? How much, if any, leeway do you afford them?

As a blunt person, let me start off by saying it has been discouraging to read this subreddit sometimes as there seems to be a sense of elitism within the industry.

I'm referencing some troubleshooting posts that I see sometimes on here where, while some posters are helpful in guidance or even going so far as to provide answers, others are literally telling the OP's to tell their management to hire somebody else because they judge the OP's post and come to the conclusion that they should never be allowed to lay their hands on an Ethernet cable, let alone a network (I exaggerate, but you get what I mean).

That isn't to say that this sub SHOULD be a troubleshooting sub and it is true that sometimes people who post may be in over their heads, but for the sake of goodness sake, wouldn't they be better served with even miniscule guidance rather than the equivalent of 'lol noob' replies?

So back to my original question, what kind of expectations do you guys have for prospective employees just entering the networking world with their degrees or certs?
