benfiets are at best marginal and no major repairs are done from employees regardless of what management is telling future employees

Cons

No training, micro management, room to advance is always at a pay cut, worn out equipment and worn out useless field trucks, low pay, outdated rental systems, always expected to fix everything with little to no knowledge or access to service manuals
