Pros

The low level leadership like line techs are great. They will look out for the employee at every photo opportunity.

Cons

Upper levels of management and HR in particular are not skilled at conflict resolution. There is an air of deception and dishonesty from the office staff and even supervisors are fake and disingenuous. They don't really care about the average employee if they cannot get accolades for it. Doughnuts instead of raises is bad policy, The dishonest atmosphere leads to a situation where they WILL manufacture a cause for termination that is incongruent with the facts. even if the cause is exactly how you were trained to do something. No clear path for advancement, even when asked many times.

Pros

None. You are contracted to another company to do the same work as those you are working alongside. You are doing that for significantly less pay and worse benefits so that the other company can have the flexibility to cut down their work force. That is Applied's bread and butter.

Cons

- Pay is low, especially for entry level - 1% 401k match if you put in 2% when I last worked here in 2021. There is an ESOP to supplement but in my view it is unlikely to approach a competent employer's 401k match. It was 6 years to fully vest by the way! - If the company Applied is contracting you to decides to cut down their work force, you are the first to go. Applied would then attempt to find you another gig.
