Pros

Company Vehicle with paid gas. Corporate expense card. Full benefits 401K medical dental and vision. That's about it.

Cons

Where do I begin. Terrible work life balance. Bad morale and micromanagement. The company is more interested in sales than taking care of customers. Being on call for customers 24 hours a day. Customers have extremely high expectations and do not take responsibility for themselves or their actions. Customers feel like it's okay to treat you like trash because of the promises made the company. A lot of workplace politics, a person that is skilled will never get promoted no matter how good their numbers are as long as they don't run in the correct circles. Claims to be a very family oriented company but it's farthest from the truth.

Pros

If you have no where else to work around the Sugarland plant.

Cons

Production is a joke all people worry about is getting one on the shift coming in, Supervisors are a joke wouldn't be able to lead a train down a track , insurance is a joke the company doesn't care about the employee , new plant manager every 2 years every time bringing in a new stupid idea that makes its harder for you to do your job, So if you are dead inside and can put up with major bull*&%$ then this company is who you want to work for , If you can think for yourself a driven employee , motivated then find a company that will apricate you .

Pros

I had a great team in my area that provided assistance as much as possible for each other.

Cons

24/7/365!!!!!!!!!!! I have not been with the company for over two months and still receive calls on my personal cell phone at all hours of the night asking for me to come out and fix something. This job would b e great if it was either a sales or service position. It is very difficult to do both and have any type of home life. I traveled over 800 miles per week and while they provided a company gas guzzler that I needed to have to transport the 1000's of items that i might need to fix who knows what - they provided me 325.00 per month to cover my gas and cell bill. Even with the help of a great team it was still nearly impossible to do this job without working at least 65 to 70 hours per week and that does not include the weekends when you are on call covering vast areas.
