Worst company I’ve ever worked for

Pros

None, none, none, none, none

Cons

The cons are practically infinite. The owners, Mr. and Mrs. Ford cover are way past retirement age and it shows. Their senility is definitely questionable. They have no respect for anybody, and only value the money they rake in. There is blatant favoritism shown towards engineers and account managers, while the true backbone of the company, the division coordinators and installers, and inventory control are basically second class citizens. Working extremely long hours, and getting paid far less than the average wages for their positions.

Toxic Leadership environment

Pros

Quality AV work and job site experience

Cons

Leadership micromanages down to the screws and surrounds themselves with yes-men to implement their policies. Zero trust from the top down or from the bottom up. There is a reason the turnover rate is so high and the reviews are so low. The benefits are egregiously overpriced and offer little to no real coverage. The coporate leadership takes half of all profit sharing and keeps it until you have 7 years with the company, which due to the toxic environment is exceedingly rare.

Pros

A place to start if you have no other choice.

Cons

If you like the military command structure and also like to blindly follow orders, this might be for you. Low pay, no freedom, bad benefits. This is company is 40 years behind the times!
