Pros

The biggest pros os area work. Not a lot of overtime. Depending on the Foreman you are working under, a few are cool to work with and will expose you to more on the job site than what you would be exposed to in the classroom. A great place of your just starting your electrical career. That’s about it.

Cons

It’s a big company and you are just a number. So many people come and go that you are not being paid attention to. Your hard work is not appreciated what so ever. Layoffs happen frequently. Some foreman’s are just over rated baby sitters that don’t want to teach you the proper way to do anything and will teach you the hardest and slowest way possible just to go back to supervisors and eat you out to make themselves look good. Literally will tell you to do something incorrectly if you don’t know what your doing to take a picture of you doing it behind your back and send the photos to supervisors. The pay sucks starting out and it takes years to get in the higher teens. Getting a .50 raise is like pulling baby teeth and likely won’t happen. After a few years of work I’ve still yet to get a work short with the companies name on it. It’s like ridiculous they have a warehouse full of company clothing but won’t come off of it even if you offer to pay them for the shirts out of your own pocket just to feel included and apart of a team. You would never know 3/4 of the people working for BESCO even work there on a job site because of failure to identify.

Pros

Decent pay w/health insurance, paid holidays, paid vacation days. They do not micromanage your daily work.

Cons

Antiquated HR policies Antiquated management styles No PTO policy, just antiquated “use it or lose it” vacation hours, and sick days (that they don’t like you to use of course). Horrible communication w/complete disregard for including employees in decisions that directly affect their daily jobs. Lots of promises of improvements & changes to come that never materialize (literally told the same thing years in a row and still waiting) No proper company/job training, documentation (SOPs, manuals, etc.), yet can’t comprehend the reasons for employee turnover. “Random” policies that aren’t random. Supervisors that kowtow to upper management rather than being supportive of their subordinates. Lots of talk of supporting their employees and their needs (work/life balance, flexibility), but actions prove otherwise: see first Con listed. Lots of talk of team, but rarely felt I had one.
