Pros

With such a large company, you can get a job doing almost anything. Great benefits and compensation was good to above what I expected. Good people and good culture that is getting better. Dated industry that is trying to modernize both in technology and in attitude.

Cons

Can be expected to travel much of the time and work hours can be long. Work life balance can be difficult. "Old boys club" culture.

Pros

Nice wages and benifits and sometimes nice vehicles and equipment.

Cons

MOW department: Lack of manpower- they'll work you 130 hours a week-ask for help-get none Safety- really- 100+ a week. work 48 days without a day off. On call 24/7- deny a call and see what happens. They want you to take calls on what is supposed to be your day off because they won't hire personnel Call departments (like payroll) for how to pay-then they come back and start taking thousands of dollars back/ tell you you should file this form and you do, then they deny that they don't honor the contracts they sign Eployee Assistance Program- hit a child and asked for counseling- got told to drink water, sleep and talk about it. They buy cheap equipment in some area's and it makes a safety hazzard Not enough time to work properly and do a quality job Employee's should have good moral and attitude but most are poor and bad-company made Someone should take a serious long look at the monies wasted and the everyday battle the workforce faces. The lies from management needs to stop. Run this company like the great company it can be.
