Pros

Good salary for a lot of OT

Cons

What you agree to when you start will most likely stay for a long time. A lot of brach personnel outside Chicago are poorly trained and seem like it’s their first day on the job. It’s up to the managers to push their employees and educate them how to solve issues on their own and become self sufficient. That’s one of the ways I feel that the company improvemts on the service we provide. A well trained and self sufficient employee can change make all the difference. This industry is starved for these kind of employees. They get it!
