Pros

Lots of overtime, decent benefits. Biggest pro for me is the guys I work with and who are in my crew, I wouldn't work with anyone else.

Cons

No hours at home, I spend 75% of time at work and 20% at home with my wife and the last 5% is spent sleeping or resting. If you're not in management, most likely you are just a number. You really have to stand out if you want to make it, and even if you do it doesn't mean you will go anywhere. (Personal experience)

Pros

Good employees. Standard benefits package. No cap on commissions. Occasional catered meals.

Cons

Unfortunately, as with any large publicly traded company the goal is to keep investors pleased and there is high pressure to perform and grow business in an economic climate where stability is more realistic than growth. The company is structured by different branches, that function as their own cost center while reporting numbers to corporate. This structure makes sense on paper, but unfortunately leads to fractured relationships between branches and departments, leading to a loss of potential revenue. There is favoritism with the top earners being handed their accounts and not having to do much actual hunting or prospecting. Health insurance is very expensive with high deductibles. Usage of company car is deducted from paycheck. A large majority of what is performed could be considered "field work" that most companies would hire hourly employees to do and would qualify as overtime.
