Decent pay, especially once you hit a certain corporate grade. Good low to mid level managers/leaders.

Lots of extra work for not much increase in pay

Field services engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you like extra money theres lots of OT. 401k & health benefits, company car, cell phone, laptop & tools. Work from your home as your base location.

Cons

There's lots of OT & its often not optional. 2.5% average annual raises dont keep pace with inflation of 3%. So annually you are taking a .5% pay cut to stay employed. Poor life balance, constant pit in stomach when out during any small down time just thinking about the next piece of equipment to break.
