Pros

This company routinely hires "techs" that in many cases dont know a multi-meter from a wrench, so the company will be a pay cheque until you find a better job. You will receive some "in house" training, but it isn't recognized anywhere else.

Cons

This company has a glut of useless high-payed managers that sit at a desk all day while the technicians do all the work. Techs need to fill out paperwork for every hour of every day, and find themselves having to explain where they were and what they did for every 30 minutes of the day. Managers make anywhere from 2x or 3x what technicians do, which is absolutely rediculous for what they do. There is no pension plan for technicians, which is why all of the experienced techs have quit and moved on to better companies. You dont get any vacation until you complete a year of service, and because of extremely high turnover, the lack of knowledge has left a toxic atmosphere of finger-pointing and penny-pinching the technician wages. A really strange thing about this company is that there are shareholders that work in the company that have created invisible empires, and are essentially untouchable. They dont actually make money for the company and just tuck themselves away in a corner and chase pet projects and ride the payroll into a very healthy retirement.

Pros

They gave me a job.

Cons

They are so poorly run it's incredible. Turnover is very high because no one gets any raises and the wages are already too low to begin with. If you want a raise at this company, you basically need a job offer at another company for more money for them to consider matching it, and at that point you may as well take job offer. Because of the insane turnover, there's no institutional knowledge. Every time they send you out on a job, you have no instructions, you basically have to figure everything out yourself. Don't expect any training.
