Good company, great people, but not enough of them...

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay working with great people. The atmosphere is very laid back with everyone expected to perform and hold up their end of the bargain. Benefits are second to only that of the Auto Industry, to my knowledge at least.

Cons

Being owned by a French corporation (and rapid growth by acquisition) does present its issues. The Top-Down Management structure is in dire need of a revamp due to the lack of a "true" project manager for each project, rather than one Manager for ALL installation projects.
