Pros

The training program is generous and thorough. You work as an employee of Cook Systems, not as a contractor, so you get benefits and a salary, even between jobs.

Cons

Management is spread too thin to hear/address employee concerns effectively. Crowded work environment. Unclear corporate organization means employees have to treat everyone they meet as a superior, which is exhausting. The management doesn't pay enough attention to their employees to know when clients blame their poor organization & communication on Cook employees.

We will take your view into consideration. There are very few customer commands that can be "shrugged off" though. We will make every attempt to pay close attention and protect our employees from unreasonable situations.

Great First Job in the Industry

Pros

If you're smart and can learn fast, they'll invest time, effort, and money in you up-front to get you in the industry and up to speed even if you don't have any experience or knowledge. When you're not on a contract, you end up getting paid to increase your skills, which is hugely helpful. Your superiors, even high ups in the company, get to know and care about you as more than a profit-generating cog in the machine. The ones I've interacted with have also been great people, especially Bob Fortenberry.

Cons

The pay is low for the work you're doing and PTO isn't enough to meet my needs. There's a lot of pressure and expectations on you to perform very highly.
