Pros

Can't think of any pros.

Cons

Pay is intermittent. They find reasons to deduct your pay. Each job isn't planned correctly. The owners were primarily care homes, then decided to go into maintenance which they knew very little about. Interview said some weekend work. They planned you in EVERY weekend. Some engineers knew nothing about maintenance. They would send people to do Electrical work who were not qualified. Massive high turnover of staff Member of the team hurt himself as he was on his own on a questionable job for weather conditions. He got no sick pay or compensation. I think it's still going through the court now. They never admit liability to anything or anyone.

Pros

Amazing work life balance. Working by yourself, perfect for the divergent people. Company van with gas paid for starting day 1 that you get to take home daily. Penny (owner) is amazing and the best boss.

Cons

Small company so health insurance is very pricy (125.00 per paycheck).

Pros

Boss fights to have solid employees, no poisonous attitudes, great pay and benefits, office staff is supportive and very good at what they do.

Cons

The only major one is that this is a “road life” job. It’s not for everyone, but it’s what I’ve done for nearly two decades so I am used to it.
