Pros

If you love great perks they have them.

Cons

Lots of talk about work/life balance that's just talk. I honestly believe a lot of the management didn't know what they were doing.

Pros

Excellent health care benefits and salaries are descent. People that work here for the most part are good to work with.

Cons

Field Management Services (F.M.S.) corporate team are suave in their approach and eloquent when they speak, but they are wolves in sheep's clothing. They claim they put their people first per our core beliefs but, that's far from the truth. Our HR dept.are totally biased and they do not represent us well, so don't even bother complaining as management has them in their pocket. I can say with certainty that once one is handed the keys to the facilities you will not see any upper management folks at your site, so you will be on your own in an island. Why you ask? It's because they keep getting new contracts and can't sustain what they already have. It's called biting more than what you can chew! It's all about the money which is our bottom line not us. CORPORATE GREED!

Pros

Lots of people here are very hard working, creative and intelligent people. Unfortunately, those are usually the ones who get overlooked for advancement. They have a nice gym and decent benefits.

Cons

If you know someone at the top, you'll do fine. Otherwise keep your mouth shut and expect to work long hours for little appreciation and little chance for advancement. You might get ahead if you marry someone at the top. That seems to be the best way, especially for a women to get somewhere. In that case, you really don't need to work hard or be very intelligent. The culture is extremely difficult, especially in upper management. No one wants to listen to a conflicting point of view and you will be disrespected at every turn if you offer a different opinion. Expect to be hushed up or talked over in meetings unless you tow the company line.
