Business Outlook

Pros

You have a good opportunity at making as much money considering that you're willing to work OT.

Cons

Extremely poor management system. Poor morale among coworkers and management. Poor communication throughout company. No real training for Techs. Supplied tools only in claifornia and they don't provide all tools that are needed. Manipulative management. Equipment is extremely unreliable and there are no reliable sources to assist with repairs. Contacting engineering for equipment issues turns into you not knowing how to do your job. They attempt to use a step pay program to pay you less but expect you to do 6 different jobs. Absolutely no worklife balance.
