Pros

It's a job, some good techs that i work with. We get paid weekly.

Cons

Cheapest company around. No Christmas bonus, no party. Takes forever to get needed tools. They get us death trap Ford escapes to drive. If you break down good luck with Element actually helping. Techs is responsible for way to.much. From quoting all work, to ordering and tracking jobs and parts. Our applications and programs don't work. IT most famous saying is not my job and call someone else. No real HR at the branch, have a timecard issue? Send an email and they will send it to someone in India who will then transfer it to someone else 2 weeks later they will try to call you at 4 am. Not enough time to complete all the paperwork, ordering etc. They want you to do company training and administrative task while billing a customer. Almost everyone in the office is angry and overwhelmed.

Pros

Work is consistent, that’s all I can say.

Cons

Have been with the company for a shorter period of time. Management is horrible, lied to may times over, was supposed to have reviews and raises in October didn’t happen, was supposed to be supplied correctly sized equipment, hasn’t happened, micro managed constantly, manager hires people who don’t have experience and have very questionable morales and attitudes, team leads that don’t lead and don’t really work just an extra layer of micro managing, they expect the world and don’t pay what your worth.
