Pros

Pay is decent if you put the work in. If you're good, you often get the recognition for the work.

Cons

My managerial teams have lost touch with the reality that technicians have to face every day. They don't know the regulations for certain areas Especially forestry services roadways Some members of the team make themselves scarce, so that they don't get shouted at. Other members just plan their exits quietly and leave the company.
