Pros
The checks cash and they will help with certs. The other techs that I have met are good people that have the same Pro's and Con's with this company that I do. We are working on a program that has a 99% customer approval rating...yes, that is a nationwide program covering a couple THOUSAND locations getting a 99% approval rating from the customer. Unheard of, right?
Cons
I took the job because it was a new program that sounded interesting, may lead to something. The low pay was making me hesitate, but then," We will give you a company car and quarterly bonuses" came into play. Sounds Good! I got the car(cannot use as personal) and was told that the FIRST AND LAST HOUR of driving was on my time, not theirs...ok, I'll deal with it. I'll get quarterly bonuses.....NOPE! Some guy crashed his car 2 states away, so no bonus. Why am I held responsible for the actions of someone I do not know and didn't hire? Sounds like a management problem. After a year, I asked about a raise....WE ALL DID. We were told to wait until September...then October...then NOVEMBER...Now December, we are told sometime in the first quarter of the next year, then another raise in the third quarter...you could tell the eyes were rolling from everyone on the one-way conference call. I didn't expect this from a company that did $2.3 BILLION gross in 2012. Everyone's moral is in the toilet. Everyone is expecting a 15 cent/hr slap in the face when/if the management decides to share the good fortune. If you work for this company, get the certs and leave. The extra knowledge will help you elsewhere, not here. This company pays the absolute minimum.
