Pros

Great Benefits Good Pay Opportunity for advancement Easy to transfer from lab to lab

Cons

Same as any production job. Employees are treated well, but job is repetitive and focus is on volume of work and profitability rather than quality that is seen in smaller independent labs. Based on lab mandatory overtime is required.

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.
