Pros
Steady work with adequate (if not great) pay, clear goals and metrics to achieve, opportunities to learn new skills, camaraderie within departments is one of the few highlights
Cons
Management is paranoid, out-of-touch, and insidiously hostile. Throw a dart at the board to see what you get today. Florida based corporate management is woefully unequipped to manage the various branches under their belt. They are very insecure and reactionary when issues are brought to their attention, and overall the disparity between the much larger Florida branch and it's much smaller satellite locations continues to cause friction. Florida sees everywhere else as "the problem," with the only solutions being to take a hacksaw to whatever bump or rough edge is sticking out. Satellite branches were downsized and eliminated during my time there, with threats of the same happening to the Portland location. Local management is less uninformed, but see themselves as the blunt instrument of justice for ensuring the Portland branch remains on track by any means. Employees are made to feel as though they could be fired at any moment, no performance review ever better than "meets expectations," even for beloved employees who went above and beyond. Management will make inspections of workstations and make unilateral decisions to discard and rearrange things as they see fit, even if certain equipment is critical to job function. If it does not fit their interpretation of company policy (or personal preference) it is a failure of the employees to comply and a performance failure to not complete the work without the equipment they deemed unnecessary. I could go on, this just scratches the surface.
