Pros

Management have no idea how your job is done. Therefore as long as you don't give them earache they leave you alone. Dont question why they keep messing things up. Even better, become one of the 'yes' men and get instant promotion! You even get to name your own job title. And if that doesn't work you can then change your title again! A fun and easy place to work if you are the brown nose type.

Cons

No direction, management have no idea how to run a department and just want a quiet life. Salary is not the same amongst employees of the same role. It's well known that new employees are coming in on more money, so very good if you join up but don't expect the old hands to share your joy when pay day comes.

Pros

- Decent pay and good benefits - work truck with gas card -good experience

Cons

- management is disconnected from field employees - review process does not reflect employee performance since managers do not go out in field in order to properly assess job performance - poor communication which leads to chaotic project implementation - no standardization of necessary info for each customer site. You walk in completely blind each time you visit a customer you’ve never been to - safety is important, but corporate pushes redundant messaging so frequently i believe it has the opposite of the intended effect - forced to wear long sleeves FR shirts in hot weather even when you are not exposed to fire hazards any more than a standard office employee
