Pros
Pros of Burroughs: - Stepping stone into field service work. - Company vehicle and gas paid for work - Traveling. Majority of day is spent traveling to various sites - Occasional opportunities to travel to other areas to assist others - Easy work majority of the time once you learn it
Cons
- no training really provided - service such a variety of equipment it’s hard to master some equipment we don’t see as often - no promotional or growth opportunities - no stability. This company struggles with maintaining contracts - layoffs are always a concern - no job security - hard work is not rewarded - field service gets very little recognition - high turnover of managers - lack of communication from managers and above - if you need a tool or locally sourced parts you often have to pay out of your personal account and wait weeks to be reimbursed - per diem is way below industry standards and can hardly pay for 1 meal - no pay increases - pay in certain areas lacks tremendously. Someone in Southern California shouldn’t make the same as someone in the Midwest
