long hours and little to no family life.

Field service technician

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

alright pay, lots of over time, company car, not much more

Cons

You are treated like a slave for the company. Sent all over the country with little to no notice. Getting the right parts to do your job almost never happens. We are hung out all the time. I've spent countless weekends on the road away from home cause my manager didn't send the right parts or project engineering screwed up. Unless your part of the boys club you get nothing but overhauls day after day. Why'll new guys are part of the bosses little crew get the easy start ups and programming jobs. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT READY FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
