Pros

The coworkers are great and easy to get along with. Freedom of mobility on the job(picking up and dropping off customers) and you get to drive various cars as well. Plenty of praise and compliments when you work hard. The ability to learn how to run a business which in turn can be added to your resume. Good experience right out of college in the business world.

Cons

Mostly extremely stressful. The company is always worried about high labor costs so sometimes you will run the office by yourself when there are a hundred things going on. (phones ringing, customers in the lobby, cars that need to be washed.) It will make you pull your hair out. On top of that the wage is terrible. 50+ hours a week so expect your life to be at Hertz.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

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.
