Pros

The weekly pay checks, the friendships built.

Cons

The culture is bad. To begin with everyone is there to work and accomplish the same goal, whether one person been there 1 year or 15 years. YET there is a tier 1 which gets paid better than the tier 2. And there is no pay scale that allows tier 2 to eventually catch up. Management is horrible! They hire people from the floor to supervise without the educational requirements to fulfill the position. All leaders need some type of management course that teaches them the responsibilities needed to successfully supervise a shift. The supervisors are not in sync which creates a mess on the floor. AND THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS.. No vacation days to use for the first two years and no sick days and this is a manual labor job.

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
