Pros

Convenient location if you live in Beaverton

Cons

TOXIC ENVIRONMENT!!! Negativity and backstabbing around every corner. Everyone was always hoping for the chance to throw you under the bus. Not a welcoming community at all. They lure you in with lies about the job description during the interview and then start you in an entirely different position with hardly any training or motivation from the managers.

Pros

-Good Benifits (Health Insurance, Dental, 401k and Company Car dependant on position). -Advanced support from equipment manufacturers. -Most of your co-workers are great to interact with.

Cons

-Pay is below industry average. -Promises of advancement with no actual follow through. -Promises of regular reviews and pay raises with no follow through. -High turnover rate. -Sales comes first since they make the money, and service is left cleaning up the mess for minimum wage or just a small amount above it. -When people leave (High Turnover) they put the extra responsibility on those who are still there with no compensation whatsoever. -False promises after being put in bad situations by management. e.g. "We will make it right, I promise!" -Internal communication is a disaster despite it being a "pillar" of the company.

Pros

POA has a very strong and supportive culture. The training you receive from everyone from the President on down is so helpful and inspiring. Everyone wants you to succeed, and that mentality fosters an environment where teamwork is valued. I took this job a few years out of college, and POA empowers you to be your own boss, there is no problem that you can't solve. I wanted to challenge myself and grow and this opportunity has helped me in so many different aspects of my life from learning how to sell, giving me an opportunity to earn more money than I ever thought possible, and by being a provider for my family. I have never seen an environment where the CEO is willing to teach, train, and coach brand new employees, and genuinely cares about there goals both personally and professionally. This is a growth based company, they want you to succeed and help grow the customer base and the brand. They give you the keys and let you be the driver, where you end up depends on how much work you put in, how invested you are, and how involved you are with your team. There are sales incentive trips that you are able to go in if you qualify. Those are a lot of fun and let me see parts of the country I have never seen before. The compensation is incredible, the health care coverage is amazing, and the 401k match is unbeatable.

Cons

You get out what you put in, to this career. There is a lot of work to do and the more time you put in, in the beginning the more you will get out of this. If you are not willing to invest in your career, this might not be the best fit for you.
