Pros

Great people to work with they want you to grow and offer great learning experiences. I honestly wish I could work for them again. They are really about the people that work for them which makes it that much easier to work for the company the project I was on was like family. They do really great company outings and have competitions which were really fun, they have challenges and the acknowledge the work you do for them this company understands that the people are what makes the company work and without them there would be no company. They make sure they treat you as an individual and not just like a a worker bee, they learn the type of person you are and handle things according to you not how they handle everyone one else.

Cons

I don't have any cons from my personal experience.

Pros

None, save your time and don’t apply

Cons

If you value your sanity, integrity, or basic respect as an employee, stay far away from this company. I was in a management role and was routinely instructed to write up technicians daily—often for unclear or inconsistent reasons. Upper management would tell me one thing behind closed doors (like requiring Saturday work), then completely contradict that in front of employees, making me look incompetent and dishonest. The double standards and manipulation don’t stop there. I was required to work on a day I had scheduled PTO, only to be forced to still use my PTO anyway. That pretty much sums up how little they respect employees’ time or boundaries. Leadership is painfully unprofessional. My direct supervisor avoids accountability entirely—no performance reviews, no feedback, no communication. Instead, they sit silently while someone else (who isn’t even your manager) delivers write-ups. No eye contact, no explanation, no leadership. The most concerning part is how calculated their actions feel. I was written up without valid cause, only to be told the next day that it disqualified me from receiving a retention bonus. Conveniently, this all happened the same month retention bonuses were being paid out. At the same time, I had been directed to write up my entire team. It’s hard not to see a pattern of targeting employees to save the company money. Morale is nonexistent. Trust is nonexistent. This is not just a poorly run company—it’s a toxic environment where employees are set up to fail and leadership operates without transparency or integrity. Avoid at all costs.
