Pros

Decent pay. Potential future business growth.

Cons

Pretends to be military friendly but the culture is incompatible with the ethics and training of military personnel. Constantly changing directions and decisions, no central leadership on any topic - hide behind matrix environment for lack of leadership and management skills, elitist, poor benefits that get worse every year of employment, horrible/2 faced and untrained managers - particularly directors and VPs, promote constant fear that you will lose your job, no actual care for goal setting/achievement for employees or help in growing them, unethical: do not honor contract obligations, no accountability for employee actions, must be a "yes man" to be promoted. You must be willing to put up with a lot.

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
