Pros

I love the customers, I love my career in Field Service. I love most of my coworkers. Work/Life balance is good.

Cons

The better you are in a particular job the more likely you will stay there at least until you leave. There is no set upward mobility path. The pay is 18% less than industry standard. Unlike every other field service company in the United States you aren’t paid an on call flat rate just for being on call. No company vehicles. You are paid mileage, but it is well below federal standard (40 cents instead of 57). The Culture at Corporate is the best I've ever seen, but most of the local field offices .... ugh.

Pros

The culture has always been employee first. They preach & teach professional & personal development. The compensation is fair. The work life balance is excellent. I've never been and didn't know of anyone who was ever turned down for vacation time or to leave early for a family event.

Cons

Things have started to shift in the culture from open communication to confused communication. Many of the front line and middle management employees weren't sure who to report to or were told to report to multiple people. People are being promoted based on their friendships with the executives as opposed to actual achievement. SEI is being viewed by many employees as becoming an "HR state". Things are much more tight lipped than they used to be.

Pros

Work life balance was great. Leaders used to be great.

Cons

They sold out to private equity who bought another company. They merged and hundreds of great people lost their jobs. The company that used to exist is no longer. Now in the hands of wealthy financiers, I am sure the culture will continue to deteriorate. If you want to work to make rich people more money this is the job for you.
