Pros

A good name and respected in the industry. Decent fleet of equipment. Fairly good community involvement. Highly experienced qualified people who absolutely know their business.

Cons

Became highly micro managed. It seems mangements goal is to see how many hours and production they can force out of people by insisting on mandatory meetings at 6:30 am so as to not impact the business day. Mandatory Debriefing everyday at 5:30 to go over the days sales calls, asking who was seen, what was discussed and what is your plan for the next call on this customer. It got to where we were making reports about reports, meetings about reports. The paper work that had to be completed became more important than serving the customer and renting equipment. So I quit.
