Pros

Fast promotion if you are talented and a workaholic.

Cons

The corporation and its branching management will take advantage of its employees and give them nothing for their hard work. Overall culture of people that will not take initiative for anything of their own volition, and there are a lot of people that follow the mentality of throwing others under the bus instead of helping them. If you are a kind person you will be taken advantage of and abused.

Pros

There really isn't much idle time. Plenty of work orders and PM's to do each shift.

Cons

No advancement, None. The company has been through several hiring freezes, and most departments are short handed. It has been a revolving door. Instead of filling the positions they have just doubled the workload on the employees.
