      Pros

      Over time can be endless. Some months you are working nonstop other months you are not scheduled at all. Management will work with your personal schedule.

      Cons

      Many times you find yourself at a customer site unprepared due to lack of communication between fleet managers and scheduling.

      Pros

      Almost 100 year old company with a great history in San Diego; with contributions to the world. There used to be a long average 20 year tenure here, so it made the company feel like a family --- everyone worked hard and played hard --- and so the company was a unicorn in that way. There was a ton of knowledge and experience in these employees.

      Cons

      They are losing the people and traditions that once made them great. Now they are becoming just another company to churn through people and spit them out. Not a safe feeling place to work anymore. They did away with pension. Maybe there are some financial problems because although they are hiring, they are letting good people go suddenly over these past 3 years up until very recently.

      Breading ground for laziness

      Pros

      Stable eazy work and an emphasis on safety.

      Cons

      If you're thinking motivation to help the shop an skill to do so will be rewarded don't waste your time. HR and management are inefficient at increasing pay for job performance while laziness is overlooked. Disheartening for honest hardworking people and a plague on productivity. Initial offer is low and minimal raises afterwards. A bad place to go if you're mid career, you'll be stuck working next to spoiled people with less experience making more money and no chance at get fair pay.
