Pros

I really enjoy managing my site. Blackman Bucks auction is great for hourly employees. Fun work environment. My ops manager is awesome. SOP bonuses are a great incentive. Lots of good times over the years with various employees.

Cons

I feel I am grossly underpaid for the size of my site/staff and many additional responsibilites with our client contacts. I make less $$ this year than last year based on the "annual bonus" structure. Hourly pay is very low in a city with a very high cost of living. Wish the benefits were better and a 401K match.

Pros

Working at this company has been a genuinely positive experience. One of the biggest strengths is the excellent customer service we consistently deliver. The team goes above and beyond to ensure clients feel supported, heard, and valued, which has become a defining part of our culture. Our management team is another standout. They provide clear direction, communicate effectively, and foster an environment where employees feel empowered to grow. Their leadership style encourages collaboration, innovation, and accountability. What truly sets this company apart is the synergy between employees on all levels. Teamwork isn’t just encouraged — it’s natural. Colleagues support one another, share knowledge freely, and work together seamlessly to achieve common goals. This creates a workplace that feels both productive and genuinely enjoyable. Overall, it’s a company that values people, delivers quality, and cultivates a strong sense of unity.

Cons

While my overall experience at the company has been positive, there is one notable challenge that could possibly affect long‑term stability: the dependence on client contracts. If a major contract ends or a client’s needs shift, there is a certain degree of uncertainty. This reliance isn’t uncommon in our industry, but it does highlight the importance of building strong client relationships to provide more consistent long‑term stability.
