Pros

They have such a high turnover they are always looking for new hires

Cons

This has been personally the worst work experience i have encountered in my career. The work culture is very unprofessional and bias. This family own business is ran based off of personal biases. Pay is low. It’s clear they do not value their employees with their minimal PTO, lack of wellness initiatives, and no sign of work-life balance. They truly cut corners to save money and will devalue an employee in a heart beat. Very toxic work environment.

Pros

A lot of the people I met and worked with were genuine and wanted to do the best job they could. A lot of cool technology

Cons

Upper management preoccupied with their own careers instead of those they were put in charge of. The only time you usually got attention is if you screwed up or they needed a favor from you. Want to see a change or an improvement? Chances are that you will be told no and will be given a half baked excuse why it can't be done. Salaried workers get no overtime perks. You could work over 60 hours a week and get nothing out of it. Wages are low. I'm sure they work great for where the HQ is but they don't work everywhere but they pay the same no matter where you live. Management has favorites. There were coworkers that you would have no clue how they still worked there. Had one Job Supervisor that was a nightmare for everyone he worked with. He was constantly being reported for harassment and other issues but he still had a job.

Pros

-Lots of Travel depending on where your office is. -Supposed to get Profit Sharing -Most of the Leads I worked for make up for the terrible management. -You usually meet some other cool people who share in your daily misery on the road.

Cons

I don't have a enough time to list them all. They treat techs like baby monkeys. -They won't pay you that well. -Techs share rooms on the road. (They are one of the few AV companies I know that do that.) -The corporate people who are in charge, can't be touched. They have a little circle and if you don't fit in, watch your back. They will openly break the very rules they are adamant that you follow. -micro manage. They don't just trust that they have guys that know what they're doing. -I constantly had to reach out to find where I was going next and had no resemblance of a schedule. I could go on and on. But those were the worst for me. That being said, if you are kiss up, then you'll be fine.
