Pros

You will get paid weekly

Cons

Lack of structure Managers are rarely available to employees Managers rotate through departments so you don't know who to ask for help Extremely high turnover rate of managers and employees Hostile/unpleasant environment (employees despise and talk down about eachother) Lack of co-worker morale and support Took away commission opportunities to make money and pay bills Lack of growth (if given the rare opportunity, you will be often times be forced into a management position and eventually fired) Hire to fire "Hired last, fired first" Do not tend to employee needs nor appreciate the employee Rude customers Lack of proper scheduling so overworking often occurs Do not respect part-time employees (don't get to pick or discuss your schedule; will move you from days to nights, employees don't respect depending on department) Employees take hour lunches which sometimes results in you being alone to deal with 10+ customers at a time Always new changes that do not benefit the employees just the company and higher corporate paid positions (ex: CEO) Couple occasions where departments did not receive their correct pay 100 audits are made on your interaction with customers (IR) Counter sales runs managers Customers pay less on rentals than employees do with their discount (40%) You'll get written up for calling in, if you don't call in you'll get written up twice for not calling AND not coming. So either way you still get written up for not showing up If you damage a vehicle you get drug tested Customers treat you like you're their servant Tablets and technology barely work

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
