Pros

Benefits are the only plus

Cons

No knowledgeable electricians as " dispatchers ", dispatchers are young kids with no field experience or training. The " in house " master electrician has no license and never has ITT tech data classes. You work alone on Wal-Mart properties when you have jobs that requires 2 electricians , unlicensed " techs " doing work in TX, AR , La , Miss and Missouri that require licensing and permits and inspections. If there is a problem with a job you can't finish you get harassed about it , everything is last minute and hurry up and wait. Dispatchers bill and charge for materials not used or installed in Wal-Mart properties, bill padding. Dispatchers tell untrained "techs " to work in dangerous conditions.

Pros

Tons of growth opportunity for people willing to invest in the company. My department has grown by 400% in the past 10 years. Lots of training provided. PM's are expected to have complete ownership of their projects.

Cons

Going through a digital transformation which should be good in the long term. Work life balance can be tough but it comes in waves.
