Ok place to work

Building mechanic

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay, mostly friendly employees. Since covid-19 99% of the work force works from home so the building is pretty quiet. There is always something to fix in one of the fifteen buildings we service. Little to no micromanaging when things are going well.

Cons

Ok place to work but little to no room for advancement. Growing with the company may not be in you favor unless you have family in upper management. Company preaches diversity, equity & inclusion but I have seen little DEI from 2020-2023. Lots of micromanaging when issues arise on the executive floors. Not 100% sure what's going to happen once the company closes the general office.

This is a great company to work for. I can't think of any cons.
