Pros

Pay well, good time off practice, but you have to work around the clock to get it.

Cons

Lack of direction, everyone is only focused on making their big salaries at the top. Good ole boys network.

Pros

Good pay and good benifits chance to travel if you want. Good training program.

Cons

No work life balance in smaller shops, Iv'e been on call 75% on the time in the last 7 years, also lower management can't control there Techs. Have one tech that get paid fro 8 hours and is not even at the shop fro 8 hours, when working at shop employees sit in office 6-7 hours a day and management does nothing about it.

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.
