Pros

Nice coworkers, Convenient location, transparent with financials

Cons

They told me everything I wanted to here to get me in the door and have followed through with zero of the things I was promised. Don't try to ask HR for help she is worthless and usually acts like your bothering her and interrupting her online shopping. Took close to a month for me to get my health benefits that were supposed to start day one.

Pros

feild guys are great, , offer 401k, profit sharing and health insurance for a high cost. wellness programs and company building at some offices.

Cons

They lie to get u in the door make 100s of promises and dont keep any ! i was told 50 hours max a week, my first week alone even after I expressed an issue I worked 67 hrs and on the weekend. i see guys working the same or more andgetting behind the wheel seems like a lawsuit waiting for Ollsson from someone who get hurt. Management never helps they come in after 9 and go home by 4 everyday and get half days on Fridays. i asked HR for help and was ignored and found out managers were told and I felt intimidated and now feel scared to ever speak up. I was told this happens alot and HR is never confidential?
