Pros

I loved my team. Pay was pretty good. Benefits were good. Overall not bad.

Cons

Leadership has come in and done an overhaul and it’s not for the best. Too many hands in the cookie jar with no clear direction

PM/Engineer beware

Pros

Great way to build experience.

Cons

5 days in the office. 3% increases no matter what your performance is. POLITICS IS KING. MAFIA LIKE MENTALITY. If you leave they make it seem you won’t get a job anywhere else. Storm pay is 1x aka straight time while most other people are getting 1.5 to 2x time. The contract analysts will make more than you as a PM/Engineer.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Supported by direct supervision.

Cons

New CEO and his executive buddies are terrible. From the way they handled lay offs ( after hours email from HR then made them log on for a call in the morning), RTO mandate for all employees after posting jobs as "remote" for years. Work/life balance is non existent. Had more flexibility 10 years ago before remote work became popular. Aging service centers, limited fleet, lack of essential employees and no proper training anymore.
