Pros

TOO Much Overtime with no regard to dispatch areas overlapping of service areas by multiple Employees can make lots of income for doing not much!

Cons

Continually requesting more and more work without hiring permanent Employees very little training and no defined procedures. DO NOT follow guiding PRINCIPLES only guide lines locally. Family LAST. Management MBO's do not exist all quota's are designed to show people failing.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
