Pros

Freedom to get your work done without micromanagement Plenty of hours and easy to get overtime Co-workers were mostly friendly and easy to work with Yearly company paid outing/party Good Morale and atmosphere if you work at the right location

Cons

No real direction on your Dailey tasks No training or direction if you don't know how to do a certain task unless your In good with management Extreme favoritism from management, some of the worse I have ever seen pay is hourly and the pay for the type of work is terrible and company takes advantage of that due to the distance from other jobs in the city. No true Holidays off, if you have off for a Holiday you have to make it up on Saturday. Hours consistently changed in the beginning. No tool allowance, you must purchase/pay for every tool you use. Severe lack of communication in management and management to employees. Lots of cutting corners due to budgeting issues amongst management. Extremely poor advancement opportunities unless you relocate

Pros

Not many pros. Can’t think of any. People were nice at first but then they all got fired around me. Replaced countlessly.

Cons

If you are not part of “The Foot Hills” then you are already on your way out the door. This is a mafia within the company that lie to the cooperate level employees about wrecks, etc. if you aren’t part of the club and you tell cooperate the truth you get the boot.
