Pros

The company has decent benefits, except for Health Insurance.

Cons

They are the relative that always ask for everything and gives nothing in return. If you have no other option work here, but look for something or anything better.

Pros

All-staff's & CPE Audit's where you could see other techs and talk with them. Tech assist jobs where you worked with other techs

Cons

Management is incredibly hard to reach and will almost never call you back, even though they say that they are available. Management also said they would send out e-mails stating when they were in meetings, and those e-mails were few and far between. Management sent out e-mail asking about what snacks were requested in vending machine, gluten-free was mentioned but scarcely saw anything that was, not including the chips/candy options. Management is quite hypocritical in the way they handle things, and will punish someone for doing something properly & then go out of their way to apologize to the person shortly after because of how they handled it and that the tech was correct. Work/life balance is laughable if you work weekends, and is a bit more manageable throughout the week.
