Pros

Other hourly employees are great to work with. Pay is ok but only because of overtime. Very little weekend work.

Cons

Supervisors need to be "leaders" instead of "bosses", spend less time on petty write ups and more time being part of a team. Techs expected to take after hours calls to troubleshoot faults over the phone (without pay) but will be disciplined and docked pay for being thirty seconds late in the morning. Techs are expected to be "experts" in multiple crafts but pay level doesn't reflect this. Company claims to be "family friendly" but expects overtime with little or no notice. Time off for medical reasons or family emergencies is frowned upon.
