Pros

Company car and freedom to slack as much as you want. Take your time no one is pushing you here. Be expected to be on at least 5 different shifts while learning all the time about the equipment you are working on. Down time and a paycheck

Cons

Be expected to run a full shift and keep running through the night to early morning and beyond. Expectations are that you are required to keep taking calls when on call even though driving without any sleep for more than 24 hours is dangerous. Be expected to work some days 1 to 10 then be on call then come in at 8am, The schedule with keep you unhealthy because there is no consistency. Leadership will not recognize that people are crisscrossing each other and will not use the area concept as some people do all the work and others sit around. Team members are not cross trained meaning you will be the one doing all the work.

Pros

A paycheck and all the overtime you could wish for if that is what you are want. Company vehicle provided. On the clock from when you leave your home until you return. Tools will eventually be provided but it takes months. There are some great people to work with outside of management.

Cons

The culture is chaos and burnout. Passive aggressive micromanagement. No communication or direction. No incentive to do well except receive a paycheck. Training is there in theory but is not effective. They expect employees to facilitate business out of their own pocket. They expect employees to be on-call but will not pay for employees to be "on-call". No work life balance unless you call in sick. They expect you to continue taking calls when you're at the end of your shift. Managers from other regions moving calls around to, from, and within your que without notice, along with sales people, dispatchers, an auto-dispatch system, and customer submitted website. The whole process is the model of inefficiency. If one employee messes up they punish all employees instead of trying to develop or correct employee. Benefits are equal to if not worse than what is provided through a temporary staffing company. No path to professional development. No bonuses, incentives, or appreciation of employees. Raises do not exist and upon separation, whether it was on them or the employee, they refuse to pay out accrued vacation time and fight unemployment claims, whether there is a reason or not. Management's attitude regarding employees is that employees do not matter and can be easily replaced. Employees are looked upon as slave labor as opposed to someone to develop into a full career.
