Pros

The work is legitimately good work. I love being able to be outdoors, use my hands and for the most part truly appreciate most of my coworkers.

Cons

Shady management practices loom over everyone in this company. People get in trouble for violating "Guidelines" that they didn't know existed, then when HR is questioned about it, their response is that, "Guidelines are not policies and as such don't have to be published." Then when supervisors violate a safely protocol, they get moved to another department when the employees just get fired. Supervisors and managers play the good ole boy network so well that they just shuffle from one position to another without issue, even if it was into an area of work they have never been in before. The issue with this is that they won the interviews over 6 other women, 2 of which I know applied for the position, who have been doing that same job for 3 years. Let's talk about supervisors setting up employees. One supervisor dispatched an employee in the evening, only to wait out side of his neighborhood and follow the employee in his personal vehicle, just to call him numerous time just to test and see if the employee would answer the phone while driving. Talking on the phone in a company vehicle while driving is against policy. The same supervisor Then gets a DUI from attending a "team lead" meeting at a fellow supervisors house one evening and all that happens to him was probation. These are the people who are supposed set the standard and yet somehow get protected while us employees are made to feel the whip and expendable for the pleasure of our entrenched management. Life may be good for the office employees in this company, but if you hire into the operations side of the house, there are maybe 3 people happy...
