From a good company looking after its staff to a very bad company who is happy to see them leave

Senior field service engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good equipment, excelent customers, engineers a joy to work with and very conscientious. Excellent training school and staff.

Cons

Expected to drive excessive miles and work well above contracted hours, very poor backup with overstreached resources, not enough engineers, far to big an area, no more local prefered sites, total lack of understanding from management, Many engineers near breakdown expected to work 12 hrs + per day with no compensation, after 25 years I have seen the company change for a great place to work to the very worst, its so sad to see your customer base that took years to build up destroyed due to very poor management in a matter of a few years

Constant threat of layoffs

Contract administrator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable company with growth potential.

Cons

Bottom line is always money. Have laid off and downsized a lot in past five years, employees stepped up and are doing the job of two to three people without compensation. Work hard and your only reward is remaining employed.
