Pros

Decent snack choices, though they run out fairly quick and the restock is slow. Company is, growing? Pay is on time

Cons

Do you remember as a child when you found out Santa isn't real? This job feels like the embodiment of that feeling. A clear dichotomy exists between warehouse and main office employees (engineers, etc.), and not just regarding pay gaps. Management is slow or even resistant to the implementation of process improvement projects even when a clear plan is laid out for it and implementation would be seamless with daily operations. Very little trust is placed in floor workers, supervisor wants to do everything themself initially and then ask the floor staff for help later instead of letting the SMEs handle things. Safety and Ergonomics are not as big of a priority as they would like (at least regarding safety, ergonomics is practically unheard of there).

Pros

Lots of overtime Free snacks

Cons

Technicians are rewarded for working efficiently with additional work assignments. "Senior" technicians do the same work as entry level techs, while getting paid twice as much. Last minute travel with many adhoc extensions, sometimes keeping you away from home for multiple weeks Unfair and dishonest supervisors who will quickly throw you under the bus for a pat on the back Unsafe practices in the field Inflexible work hours and schedule This is the type of job where you are expected to be working 100% of the time, even if you complete your assigned job duties. You will be pawned off to another department for the day to ensure you don't get a break. Last time I checked, running a computer at full capacity will cause components to heat up and burn out, resulting in an unsustainable system. The same goes for humans working in a business.
