Pros

Somewhat of a flexible schedule, benefits. My fellow workers were always there. Company van but couldn't use for personal use not that I would have because it's decaled.

Cons

Long hours, micromanagement, you will always be in the wrong, good ole boy environment. Dirty work. Management never around except by phone. Lack of training. Just get it done attitude. Long hours with out compensation. No work/home balance. On call 24/7 and rotate weekends on call. Can't take a proper vacation. Must make budget and call commitment even if you take a vacation. Had a death in family and I had to find someone to cover me or couldn't attend funeral. Huge retaliation factor if you go against management. Once you do wrong they start nit picking. If you befriend to right people you can get away with anything. My group had someone with 52 calls a month and ones 80-100. If you don't know the right people you won't get new business. More then happy to tell you did wrong.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
