Pros

- Decent benefits and 401k contribution - Leading company in the industry in many aspects - The company does some really cool projects and has a lot of unique engineering teams that other rental companies don't have

Cons

Everything else is pretty bad, at least in North America. No work life balance, constant empty promises to employees. They will tell you what you want to hear, to get you locked in and to agree to something, but never actually follow through on those promises. You'll get vacation days that you don't get to use because certain teams are so restricted on when they can take off of work. Be prepared to lose your vacation time because it WILL happen. Upper management also really needs to take a look at the kind of people they promote. If you hit the metrics, you'll get promoted, even if you're actually an awful team member who doesn't follow processes and verbally abuses anyone who tries to adhere to processes in place. This happens across North America, especially in sales management, and it's really become a running joke amongst employees. If you're terrible at your job and a terrible coworker, you'll actually get promoted to manage people. Most tenured people are now trying to find a way out, which is very telling. I would never recommend working here, for anything other than a paycheck and benefits. It's a shell of the Aggreko that used to exist.
