Pros

The money was good, benefits great.

Cons

The hierarchy of upper management was ridiculous. Far too many chiefs and not enough Indians. I was there 10 months April '22 through February '23 . The position is in my opinion, far more clerical than managerial. There are many responsibilities that keep you tethered to a computer sitting in a chair. I did not appreciate the lack of respect for work life balance. I did not appreciate the trips to Indianapolis to do things that to me were pointless. Sometimes I felt like the upper management just wanted to hear themselves talk. The shop was understaffed because the wages offered were not competitive. Tough to meet maintenance goals when you are missing 40% of the staff you are supposed to have. Much of the equipment we were working on was older with the issues assorted with high mileage trucks, trailers and dollies. I found the anticipated goals to be unattainable, and this creates tantamount stress.

Pros

- Insurance benefits are offered to part time employees - Pay is sufficient based on being part time - Management will send some communications regarding big picture matters - There is some leniency regarding calling out of work

Cons

- The requirement to maintain insurance is becoming more difficult - Employees are not paid the same rate simply based on tenor rather than qualifications - Management will rarely, if ever, address direct employee concerns - Leniency for calling out only seems to apply for certain employees - There is no standard of training or written expectations readily available once hired
