Pros

Pay checks still clear. Company car, uhh that's it

Cons

Company is going under quickly. Anson Martin is destroying the company. We're bleeding cash, no one wants to have a contact with us, I've heard we're losing one of our major accounts. The area I work will shut down without that contact. Sales keeps getting to go to Aruba and giant bonuses and commissions for selling work the field has never worked on or even had any idea we'd be working on. Trash compactors, golf simulators, cleaning robots, Ice cream machines, cotton candy machines, air machines etc. All from a company that was one 3rd place in financial machines, ATM, cash recyclers, safes, currency counters. Now we're vending machine repair. DO NOT WORK HERE, unless you're super desperate for work. They take 30 minutes from the start of your day and 30 at the end of your day. On top of that free work they say you can double check the ofs system for at least 10 minutes before the start of your shift to make sure OFS (Worst dispatching system ever) has given you runnable calls. Stay away. Run away. Find someplace that will treat you with respect. You can assume that you're not a person here. You're a number. Pay is low. Benefits suck. DO NOT COME HERE unless you have no other choice. No advancement, no raises in multiple years.

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.
