Be warned, it's the Copco Way or the highway.
Pros
Most techs are fairly competent and easy to get along with until the general culture of the company destroys their workplace demeanor. If you like to travel you will definitely be offered the chance to do so. The pay isn't terrible and benefits are okay. Great place for the ambitious woman willing to "do whatever it takes" to climb the corporate ladder. If you're good friends with, or related to someone who has made it across the line to an office position it seems you'll be happy.
Cons
Technicians here are considered to be lower than whale poo in the company hierarchy and treated as such without it even being hidden. Management is typical Copco, more interested in climbing the ladder and planning hook-ups with a co-worker or intern than finding the solution to a problem. Imagine the loudest, pushiest, blowhard bully you know, add in a healthy dose of pathological lying and some good old Mad Men Wannabe style womanizing and that's who you'll be taking orders from. If you keep your head down and things go your way on the job, leaving management to their elephant ears and skirt-chasing you'll be fine. Once the unevitable happens though and there is a hitch, look out because it all rolls downhill and as a tech you are the last stop. After a couple instances of this happening you will eventually end up on the wrong side of someone in power who will do whatever it takes to get rid of you. The good news is that you will be given a not-so-subtle warning that your days are numbered. Take my advice, heed that warning and find another place to go on your own because if you make them fire you, they will do whatever it takes, it'll be ugly and you'll be blacklisted.
