Good benefits. Nationwide career movement. Career advancement. Good safety training. Pay is pretty good. Have new vehicles for the field workers to drive.

Cons

Decisions are made by someone hours and hours away who has never done your job. They micromanage...you have to detail every minute of your day. They hold grudges

Pros

Great benefits. Affordable health insurance

Cons

Stagnant growth. They only focus on leadership development or licensed trades. Growth is based on friendships. Skills and experience don’t mean much.
