Pros

starting pay, salary PTO benefits.

Cons

The corporate Ohio office is in charge of everything yet they are out of touch with the other districts. Phoenix has no in office HR person so good luck getting any HR related issue resolved in a timely manner if at all. They say dont hesitate to bring up issues that are a safety concern or poor work ethic but no one does because there are consequences for doing so. Huge problem in Ohio and it affects all the other offices because most of the higher ups for other offices are running things from Ohio. Higher ups only start acting like supervisors or managers when they are threatened and after the acquisitions from Apollo they are finally doing their jobs but they haven't been for so long that they are detached and making poor decisions.

Pros

They're very flexible. Hybrid working is a great bonus. Office facilities and it department on site is helpful.

Cons

The big slogan is where people matter. At the moment, please consider the following: a lot of your employees are over worked and underpaid. Other companies are offering a lot more money for the same job. Since the recent acquisition employees feel the pressure of having to perform better and taking on a bigger workload. Is this really beneficial when one can do a job half hearted and rushed ? Wouldn't it be better and in everyone's interest to distribute the work load and get things done right and propper? Employees are tired...tired of having so much on and having to justify us when we can't get things done because it is too much.
