Pros

The people and the growth you can have in the company. You bond over venting about the cons below.

Cons

The current leadership in the Northeast area is terrible. They look for constant scapegoats and go against the company culture of coaching and mentoring by using negative reinforcement. No matter what you do and how well you do it, you will never get a thank you but rather what can you do for me now? If you have an issue do not go to HR, they will sweep it under the rug and protect their friends that are in the "club". I had a major issue arise against someone in the "club" and went through every avenue that was provided and suggested by the company (i.e. upper management, filing a report, etc). I was told to "forget about company policy." If you are not in the "club" you will have a sense of constant unwelcomeness.If you have a voice, don't bother using it because it will get you pushed out. The pay and company car may sound good when you move up but the amount of hours you put in is uncharacteristic compared to many other companies (i.e. on call 24/7, working 7 days a week, etc). If you miss a call because you have a life outside of work when you get the chance, you will get yelled at. You will get on average 100-125 emails a day. Bonus structure is very slow (annual) and archaic.

Pros

-Never had to work more that 40 hour a week. - Got free lunch when higher ups came in - Great benifits and discounts on truck rentals -25 dollars and hour -weekly pay checks - work uniforms for all seasons and weather.

Cons

-Fast turn around for employees - understaffed locations creating 1 person doing the work that 2 people should do. -Training program that just checks off the required training making the daily tasked feel confusing and stressful -If you fail as a trainee they will tell you not to worries but then will talk behind your back and try to get you fired ASAP. - Interviews for this position talks highly about the trainning but when you are in it you slowly learn its all an act to get people hired and excited but then you learn 80% for people quit or get fired and the ones who stay don't get promoted in the expected 6 to 9 month its around 1.5 years. - I would personal keep this as a last option for the start of your career. Other companies treat you better and have a fair pay for the work you do. - Some locations of this company I heard are better I would look at all the information given and make a desision. Good luck :)
