Pros

A lot of the time you're able to manage your own schedule when you work in the field. The pay is good as well.

Cons

Bad leadership with a yes man attitude that ends up making the guys below them suffer. The leadership has zero experience which is what they want. Leadership experience leads to people saying no to screwing their guys over and to people not micromanaging. They want micromanagers. Coming on board is the roughest time. They throw you to the wolves and expect you to learn on the fly. This makes or breaks many guys in the field. When you're lucky you get some on the job training, but it is only a few weeks worth and not in a row. Maybe two weeks OJT training and then 3 weeks on your own, and then another 2 weeks of training. This usually leads to techs looking poorly in the customer's eyes, and the customers don't get the quality they pay for.

Pros

Pay is fair. You will learn a lot about all aspects of business if you pay attention. Most people really want to do the right thing. Good benefits and if you have kids they have nice events for families. Location is good for commuting - right off I-25 at main offices in Colorado.

Cons

Unless you are on "the Track" hired in from corporate, room for advancement is extremely limited. "Promotions are pre-determined for a limited few" was a quote I heard and it is valid. Senior team for the most part could care less about people or customers, manage their own careers well but don't care about customers or employees. Always short staffed and very stressful.

Hach is a Danaher company

Pros

something real one can do to help the world, because it is about water analysis and water is about life

Cons

Being a part of Danaher corporation since ~2000, in the last 5-6 years Hach has become a typical product of corporate America. You do not want to be a manager there if you value your subordinates and peers, the only way to succeed is to manage up. In the same time, one cannot really advance in the company being an individual contributor - there is no career path laid out for such people...
