Pros

You at least get a guaranteed sunday off. Paid holidays.

Cons

Bad management. One hand doesn’t know what the other is doing. Constant turnover and hiring under-qualified people for leadership roles. Pay is below that of competitors. Favoritism, and hr works with managers to fire people they don't like. Bad hr representation. Weeks on end of 12’s 6 days a week due to over 50+ positions constantly unstaffed. Too much pressure to get jobs done with insufficient equipment. Spent money on building new addition to the sales department building and hiring 2x more sales people while we barely are able to get the product done on time as it is. Bad planning department, bad upper management and they treat all lower employees as if they are stupid and replaceable unless you kiss their rears.

Pros

Talented leadership team and CEO. Mission-led culture with high levels of teamwork and dedication. Great communication on organizational goals and involvement for all team members. Still in the build phase - lots of opportunity to make an impact.

Cons

Lots of pivoting/reactionary decision making due to the nature of the industry. Overtime for manufacturing team (pro and con).

Pros

-Benefits -Schedule -Pay for the area

Cons

-General depth of repair -Category machine specilaizing is up to you. There isn't proper training. It's basically checked off if you've been exposed to how it's done. I don't think it's completely up to management. Although, the expectation is there for a technical repairs to be done with low frequency. You learn on the job. Frustrating if you want to specialize in a type of work. Putting out fires and summoned to wherever and whatever that needs to be done. Typical Maintenance gig.
