Good for getting your feet wet, but don't count on much more.

Pros

Relatively easy hire, difficult to lose the job, great place to really work on your skills if you have the motivation. Paid healthcare after 5 years. Raises are few.

Cons

Terrible attention to employee wellness/ happiness, team building, etc. The environment is not inviting, very corporate, engineers are not encouraged to think outside the box. No effort is given to promoting growth with the times, training sessions are once a year in OKC, that seem pretty useless and only encourage the frustration.

Pros

The company is financial sound, the make sure there is no unnecessary waste. Because they are have financial sound they get jobs they do not always deserve. They do everything they can to make sure projects are profitable.

Cons

Some of their pros are also a con. They do not pay there techs very well so they do not have very many high quality techs. They do not pay very well. People are often just looked at as a number. They will over work and mistreat their employees. To keep jobs under budget they will use lower quality equipment and supplies. Their training program is terrible, because everything is based on the budget no one wants to spend time training new employees. They do not want to charge a new employee’s time to their project. The bottom line was I came from a good AV company that took care of their employees and their customers. Working for them was the worst decision I ever made. If you are looking for a good AV company. The look somewhere else.
