Pros

free lunch Fridays, uniform service, flexible hours, pretty good people for the most part, pretty lax atmosphere most of the time. A few solid guys in the shop.

Cons

One or two crappy employees with horrible work ethics. Sometimes too much pressure to get equipment out and correct repairs are not made. Under trained, unskilled, under tooled "mechanics". At the end of the day, the only thing that matters are the phony numbers and making the shareholders more cash.

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
