Pros

I honestly felt I was respected and my opinion was considered. A good place to start for younger techs looking for experience.

Cons

Working in field service, it was impossible to have a desirable work/life balance. I would leave home on Monday AM and not get home until late Friday PM. Then I would spend a good bit of the little time at home working on paper work over the weekend. All the while, there was tremendous pressure to reduce overtime and administrative time. This meant that a lot of work ended up off the clock.

Pros

Decent pay, good hours, fairly simple tasks, some hybrid flexibility.

Cons

Constant micromanaging of performance and KPIs. Performance is posted to the entire department with each error highlighted, be it minor or major. I was actively discourage from asking for help, or questions if I was unsure about an aspect of the job. Myself and my cohort were also actively discouraged from speaking or communicating with one another. This bred more competition and animosity between some employees in tandem with the constant focus on KPIs and comparing scores. Contract-to-hire was on a case-by-case basis and was said to be performance based as well as seniority based. This didn't always track as managers would be inclined to favoritism and certain employees would get fast-tracked or left behind their initial hire groups without explanation. Terrible first responder system for medical emergencies and education to employees on how to handle it (which occurred frequently).
