Pros

It took me a few years to work my way into Burroughs because it was such a good company to be a part of.

Cons

Their #1 client- Revolution LLC. Is ruining Burroughs, why ? Because Revolution Services Walmart. Walmart it's now controlling what Revolution does just like every other vendor that services Walmart.

Pros

Company car and freedom to slack as much as you want. Take your time no one is pushing you here. Be expected to be on at least 5 different shifts while learning all the time about the equipment you are working on. Down time and a paycheck

Cons

Be expected to run a full shift and keep running through the night to early morning and beyond. Expectations are that you are required to keep taking calls when on call even though driving without any sleep for more than 24 hours is dangerous. Be expected to work some days 1 to 10 then be on call then come in at 8am, The schedule with keep you unhealthy because there is no consistency. Leadership will not recognize that people are crisscrossing each other and will not use the area concept as some people do all the work and others sit around. Team members are not cross trained meaning you will be the one doing all the work.

Pros

Field Service Managers were all a pleasure to work with. Most all employees are polite.

Cons

Numerous. No support for Field service managers from upper management. Raises are promised for years and never given to technicians. On call 24 hours for Revolution contract. Never sufficient communication all around. Too busy putting out daily fires to actually run business. Company is falling apart fast.

Thank you for taking the time to share your views and for complimenting the Field Team you worked with. As CEO, it was very disappointing to see that you do not recommend Burroughs as a place to go for a career. Although it would appear that you have not experienced it, the management team works hard every day to address some of the points you make across the whole organization. With clients across the entire nation, balancing our Field Tech team with their fluctuating volumes economically is certainly a challenge. Over the last 18 months, we have recruited over 150 field technicians so that we can alleviate the work pressure you describe. From my perspective, our Field Service Managers are definitely supported by management but I will certainly take a look at your observation. In terms of raises, we should not be making promises and not keeping them. One of my strong beliefs is telling people the truth, good or bad. Payroll and Benefits are our largest cost in the company and for obvious reasons we need to keep these in line with the money our clients pay us. The Burroughs team and I are working very hard to make improvements, especially in terms of communications. Burroughs is now the largest independent national service provider in our market and has seen double digit growth year on year. I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly, feel free to send me a note at info@burroughs.com. Good luck in your new career. CEO
