Pros

Benefits and 401k package is decent

Cons

Low pay compared to the amount of time away from home (poor to no work life balance). High expectations for low wages (asked to work weekends or make services calls to locations 1 hour away for a task that is 20 minutes and you are only paid for the 20 minutes not your 2 hours away from home) Typical commute is an hour and a half making my day about 11 hours. The majority of the day is spent in the company car driving. Poor training that is not structured (1 week showadowing, not provided required materials, no training for all equipment only some). Poor management skills. Poor support team. Little to no contact with other coworkers. Pointless meetings that require travel. Numerous confrence calls that are meaningless.....

Pros

Great management, interesting projects, and a very positive work environment. The team culture is strong, people are professional and respectful, and overall it feels like a great place to work. I really enjoy the type of work, the projects, and the way people collaborate with each other.

Cons

The main downside is that it can be difficult for contractors to transition into full-time roles. There seems to be a strong reliance on contract and offshore resources, so long-term internal opportunities may be limited depending on the business needs and hiring strategy.

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.
