Pros

It's a job that could last when the days are good they may be good.

Cons

Burroughs comes off as disorganized and under-prepared as if they are climbing out of debt. You're probably going to have to work most holidays even though holidays are supposed to be your off day (You do get overtime pay). There are huge amounts of turnovers with oversized quantities of training. You're expected to train on almost all of their customer's equipment (like 20+ different manufacturers) you do not get a pay increase for most if not all of those training's. You're left underpaid with no on-call pay, no pay raises, lack of opportunities within the company, etc. Most training's offered you can't use at another company nor is the pay higher there. You do not get any recognized certifications. They don't pay for work pants or shoes. They change rules way too much almost every month most rules only affect the field techs it is like they're a newer company and if they're a start-up it's annoying. They have field service ranks, but it's a joke (read the job descriptions) most of the time you're seen as all the ranks even though the pay is supposed to be different. Oh yeah, you're job is seen as less than field tech jobs are always available for a reason. Burroughs is not a company you can put on the resume. Working for the company my harm your opportunities with other companies that you would prefer to work for.

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.
