Pros

Matching 401k, Health Insurance and Benefits are good, Standard PTO and Sick Time off.

Cons

There is an insane amount of pressure put on the field to perform and meet metrics, some even sales driven, even though this is an hourly position. You are expected to be aptly mechanically inclined, while still having all of the admin and sales abilities down. They expect you to be in charge of installation of new customers, maintenance of existing customers (very normal to be running over a million dollar territory), selling within and outside of your existing customer base and all of the admin that comes with that, collection of AR from customers delinquent on bills, follow the confusing supply chain when your customers orders go missing, etc. All of these tasks for a pay that leaves A LOT to be desired.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
