Pros

Throws you into the business world. Gain experience for your resume. Ability to learn about different makes and models of vehicles. Some great coworkers (if any are in the branch) to work with.

Cons

Just recently the company implemented a policy where commissions are stripped away and replaced with the fear of being terminated if you do not hit their insurance sales goals. It is ridiculous that this policy was enforced, good talented sales people are leaving because of this. Branches are severely understaffed. Half of my tenure I was working by myself when our rental demand was very high. This just lead to service failures, long wait times, and unanswered phone calls. Long hours. 11 hours a day Monday through Friday and 4 hours on Saturday. Because of staffing issues there is no lunch break. The pay is to low for the amount of your workload. 11.00 an hour for your responsibilities is not fair. Also the bonus structures change before you get paid out resulting in hundreds of dollars you are cheated out of. Incompetent Area and General managers are not of sync with your local branch operation. All they do is email you daily threatening your job. Very depressing.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
