Pros

an okay first job if you’re desperate enough, but don’t stay more than a year.

Cons

you get paid in peanuts because this place is a circus and you’re just the clown. the fords are the puppet masters and the managers are the puppets. looks like an okay place from the outside, but don’t let that slight of hand fool you.

Is this an AV company or a construction company?

Pros

Guaranteed 40 hours no matter how slow. Paid weekly via direct deposit.

Cons

Management is unorganized. I never knew what I was doing the next week until the previous Thursday or Friday, even if it included out of town tasks. Very corporate and felt micromanaged. You sign in/out of the building just to show management that you're there. You'd think this also works as a time clock, but no. Every hourly employee has to log what they did every single day in 15 minute increments on a timesheet. This is how you're paid! Dated Unix-based system for everything, they're proud of it because the founder wrote the code. It's actually a joke working on it and so much better software on the market. On-boarding literally took months.

Pros

It's a job that has a paycheck attached to it There are some really nice people that work here to help make it bearable to show up to work each day Looks good on a resume depending on the department

Cons

Micromanagement from the top down Company run on an old DOS-based, outdated system Have to keep track of every minute of work, tasks, bathroom breaks Employees are nothing but numbers to them Profit sharing is a joke Leadership is in a constant power struggle Low pay No reviews or raises unless you beg and pester someone for one There is either zero communication or 500 emails to take care of one simple task. No in between. Heavy favoritism
