Pros

New equipment and a Service vehicle (F 150 pick up) was provided. There is not really much else to say that is positive.

Cons

This company went to a "variable hourly pay rate" based on productivity. This sounds like some sort of "Chinese overtime". I wonder what they paid the accountant who came up with this idea, doubt it was a variable hourly pay rate.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
