Business Outlook

Pros

New equipment, great coworkers. Commitment to client satisfaction and pride in the work was a great thing.

Cons

Only guaranteed 30 hours a week, and they were not flexible with scheduling, making it impossible to have a second job. They made it seem like there would be lots of hours during busy times, but in reality the schedules were set strategically to keep technician costs down. Basically you can make more money working food delivery, or stocking shelves at Target. Management had very little technical knowledge and wouldn't listen to experienced techs.
