Pros

Room for advancement if you work hard. Profit sharing quarterly. Looks good on a resume.

Cons

Be careful this is an extremely greedy company. Every company policy is to benefit the company no matter how it effects the employees. They treat their employees like they're disposable. It takes close to 8 years before you get treated like a person. The division manager of Austin will walk right by you, not even look or acknowledge your presence. A simple hello or hand shake would go a long way. They have an extremely high turnover rate and it's for good reason. If you make a mistake they will take away your profit sharing without warning. You are forced to buy tools that are on a mandatory tool list but if they are stolen on a job site they will not reimburse you for them. You will travel overnight more than they tell you in you initial interview and have to share a room with another employee. If you bring up the traveling they act like you're lucky to have a job and you knew what you were getting into when you signed the papers. Take caution when reading great reviews. I have personally been there when they asked all of their employees to go on this website to boost their ratings.

Good career start but you should plan on leaving.

Pros

-If you perform there is some job security. -Opportunities for internal position changes.

Cons

- bottom line is more important than employee retention. - micromanagement in every position - policies trump common sense - uncertain future as owners are old as dirt, have their fingers in every aspect of the business and have no exit strategy. - outselling abilities to perform quality work (employees are over worked and underappreciated) - compensation is far below similar positions in the industry.
