Aggreko is trying to do it right

Pros

Progressive corporate principles. Aggreko is making big pushes to incorporate work-life balance, keeping employees healthy & happy, and rewarding people for staying with the company. There is plenty of upward mobility if you do your job well and are willing to move. Especially on the Operations side. Pay is at or above industry averages. Most of my co-workers seem dedicated to the Company and each other.

Cons

High pressure, emergency response work environment, especially on Operations side (can be good or bad, depending on your weekend plans). High turnover in many positions. Operations folks often have to juggle numerous jobs due to turnover. Old boy network / nepotism exists. Unrealistic budget expectations for sales force. Shrinking commissions for sales force.

Pros

Great benefits, opportunity for travel, continuous growth, provides a great service

Cons

North America - Upper management refuses to address poor performing middle management. Continous loss of their most important asset - talent. Many very talented and bright people have left the company due to executive managment failing to address ineffective middle managers. The believe is that these managers have been there 15 yrs or more and are basically untouchable. The staff can be divided in two - Long timers and short timers. Not many fall into the middle.

Pros

Good non management people to work with.

Cons

Management ethics are a matter of convenience. HR backs up managers that lie. They feel that with Texas being an "at will state" they have no need to validate any reason for firing someone. When requesting meetings with HR management to resolve dispute issues, they ignore you.
