Pros

Company Vehicle, Steady Work, Usually pretty busy.

Cons

Health Benefits are horrible. Scheduling has also gotten bad since transition to our new "system". We no longer have control over our own schedule. Vehicles are tracked via Telematics system. This company has spent a lot of money in the past several years on systems that are not needed. Constantly bringing work home. Always get called for someone requesting work after hours or weekends. That's expected with this line of work, but it never stops. Very difficult to balance work with family, as they believe we should be available 24/7.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
