Pros

I can't think of any pros of wanting to work at this company.

Cons

- Micromanagement - Unethical practices - CEO is aggressive and verbally abusive - HR is undermining and doesn't even attempt to present the employee - No upward growth opportunity I worked at the company for a little over a year and was constantly undermined and micromanaged. My role changed three times without a pay compensation change either. The final role I landed on was worth multiple times what I was actually being paid. When I tried to bring it up to management outside of their non-existent performance reviews, I was told "what I was doing wasn't real software development". I was verbally abused, both during and after work hours. I was asked to do things like to clock out and continue talking about work. I was not reimbursed for California state law expenses like personal vehicle mileage or uniform. When I was put on permanent unpaid suspension, I left and tried to hire a lawyer, but they stalled out with the biggest defense firm in the state. The last time I even attempted left a review like this, I was called by both the CEO and another manager at separate times and left death threats and threats of violence--of which I had to file police reports both times for.

Pros

Diverse technical exposure and opportunities for learning new technologies. Opportunities for growth since the org is relatively small and still growing. Great work-life balance and management is great.

Cons

Low pay for some roles, and bonuses tied to selling services and subscriptions (which can also be a pro if you are sales oriented). Expecting a higher than average knowledge for entry level positions that contribute to high turnover.

Cons

This role may be challenging if you require constant supervision, struggle to work independently, or fail to maintain detailed notes. These traits can hinder success not only in this position but in any technical role. Emotional Resilience Required: You must manage your emotions during challenging situations, though management provides support and guidance to help you navigate difficulties. Variable Hours: As a field technician, hours can be inconsistent due to job duration or location. However, managers are accommodating and will work with you to address specific scheduling needs whenever possible. Diverse Environments (Pro or Con): The job immerses you in varied business and residential settings, offering opportunities to learn, adapt, and gain unique experiences. For those who embrace challenges and maintain a positive outlook, this can become a significant advantage. This will turn the "CON" quickly into a "PRO". However, if you resist learning or approach tasks negatively, this aspect may feel overwhelming.
