Pros

The company provides on-the-job training and a company vehicle, which are valuable benefits. Service managers are supportive and actively work to train, assist, and empower technicians. There is significant potential for growth and improvement, though it is currently limited by the challenges outlined in the "Cons."

Cons

Upper management seems to prioritize corporate interests over employee well-being. While they emphasize a 'safety-first' culture, many employees feel it is not genuinely prioritized in practice. In my experiance, communication between departments is often frustratingly disjointed. Technicians feel understaffed, overworked, and often poorly equipped, with some experienced techs opting to use their own tools. The systems and software tools in place at the time of this review feel inadequate, poorly implemented, and mismanaged. Additionally, in my experience, the company provides a corporate credit card with minimal support, which has led to late fees with no clear way to dispute them.

Pros

Good pay, unlimited PTO, and the occasional free lunch when leadership is in town. There are also volunteer activities available if you want to get involved.

Cons

Only 12 paid holidays, and Veterans Day and MLK Day aren’t included. Expectations shift constantly, creating rework, wasted effort, and frequent overtime that leads to burnout. The environment is highly political, with a small group gatekeeping information, unclear ownership, and perception often outweighing results. The business is volatile, with heavy, frequent restructures and ongoing headcount cuts. Technology and systems are outdated, processes aren’t documented, and training/onboarding is weak. The culture leans toward a boys’ club, and it’s easy to feel sidelined or disrespected—so you’ll need a thick skin. Decisions are driven by short‑term goals, and the future often feels uncertain.
