Pros

The day for volunteer work. The company values. Having appreciation days for maintenance. The ability to get stock and feeling like you are like an owner.

Cons

Having long tenure managers with poor crew management skills. Not being trained for job title and being expected to perform task, with little to no help or guidance. Having little inventory on for work orders. Shops being unorganized and organizing them for the higher ups inspections. Crews keeping different storage rooms and communication areas like a dump. Maintenance didn’t work as a team, just sub groups.
