Poisonous atmosphere.

Pros

Absolutely none that I am aware of.

Cons

Penny pinching, vindictive. Manager is a egotistical tyrannical man-child, one day sullen, the next manic, if you didn’t bow down to him then were guilty of insubordination. If the manager didn't like something about you then you would be placed on LOW (Lack of Work... unpaid time off) as a form of punishment, it happens all the time. Nothing is ever discussed, nothing ever followed through it's the same old thing, no communication, no consistency. After tolerating a period of bullying, a formal complaint was made to HR, they went through the motions, held interviews with staff and declared that everything was now ok, the manager had been told to alter his behavior. The person who made the complaint was told all would be fine, no recriminations. 6 weeks later he was "let go" after being subjected to snarky comments, emails, periods of LOW. Reason given was that their work was not up to standard, but not once was that person given any negative feedback on their work or given the chance to rectify anything that might be wrong. It was the manager getting revenge, plain and simple. Don't take a job here unless you're desperate and even then think twice!

A decent, but dead end job

Pros

Excellent training, decent benefits, a ton of variety in work. When I worked there, I had a lot of autonomy. When a new project came in, they would ask me how much time I needed to complete it, and would only be held accountable to the time I said I could do it in. Also, management would usually defer to the expertise of the employees. We would be handed a project or job by the management, and put in our own parts and labor estimates. If it was profitable and competitive, they would give it to the customer If not, they'd sit down with you and work the numbers until it was. I had great admiration and respect for the manager and assistant manager at that office. Probably the best managers I've ever worked with.

Cons

The pay was frustrating. Everyone's salary was a secret. I found out that another, less productive employee made $3 more than me, so I approached management. They raised my wage even higher than I asked for. Right before I left, I found out that a long-time technician I worked with occasionally made even less than I had originally. the other thing was that 90% of the work was with government agencies, but somehow, didn't qualify for prevailing wage labor unless the agency specified that it did. But by state law labor carried out for the government , outside of maintenance work, should be considered prevailing wage, or if federal, covered under the Davis Bacon Act. We were told that our benefits put us over the wage threshold for prevailing wage, but everywhere else I worked, prevailing wage was prevailing wage. If they just paid prevailing wage all the time, I'd probably still work there.

No training, no management, no help

Pros

The work is good when you actually get trained

Cons

They will not train you, they will just say go do it and then belittle you if you have questions while they sit around on their computers and do nothing, they will use you to do everything so they do nothing, the local manager is incompitent and places blame on you even when you say I wasnt trained on that, if you want to drive to other shops and do their work while they sit around for 8 hours then you might like this, benefits are not company paid that is false, if you run out of materials they will make you go purchase them with your own money, I would avoid this place
