Business Outlook

Pros

Good work and sometimes knowledgeable CO workers but rarely longtime firemen as they seem to be promoted by longevity and not overall true knowledge and actually prolong the construction process as they need constant teaching while disrespecting those that teach.

Cons

Same as above but you all need warm bodies to use
