Good training, terrible job.

Pros

The training to do the work is really well done. Pay is okay. The other employees are a good group of people. The other employees are hard workers and willing to help each other at the drop of a hat. The owner is a mixed bag, some pros and some cons.

Cons

"Hard Work", as mentioned in other reviews, doesn't mean working hard here. It means 12-14 hour days filled with driving and manufacturing your own work. By that I mean you're required to generate a specific amount of money for the company each day even if they send you on a job where you're driving half the day and the job is a low dollar amount. They want you to return to the lab and pump out more work until you meet the quota even if its 7 or 8pm. The emphasis on meeting your quota, one which they just raised, is such a point of emphasis that you have to look at a workbook of spreadsheets daily to assess your shortcomings, followed by emails, explanations analysis and remedial work if you fail to keep your quota fulfilled. This is the case even if they send to to multiple jobs they know will not meet your quota. Guess where management is while your doing your remedial work, you know because they didn't provide you with enough work to fulfill your quota, they’re at home while you try to reach the magic number they set you up to not reach. All of this along with other annoyances have employee moral at an all time low. some of the blame falls on the increasingly inept traveling salesmen who will frequently misquote and underestimate jobs. no trouble for him because he has no quota, although he should.

Good place to learn

Pros

Great pay and benefits Nice coworkers Plenty of opportunity to grow and learn as a professional. The company values you. Young staff. The company, and CEO, trusts and invests in recent university graduates, something many companies are not willing to do. You must be smart, hard working, and able to handle stress well, though. If you want to just put in the minimum hours and go on with your life, this probably isn't the place for you. The company is a market leader, customer-centric and very good at what it does, which makes employees proud to work there.

Cons

Lots of meetings Can be tedious work at times Blowback from making a mistake can be quite undesirable, so the culture is to work with head down and to always make sure you are not at fault. This is the main con.

Good company and growing

Pros

Every year we seem to get bigger, better, and it becomes a better place to work.

Cons

Sometimes have to deal with multiple initiatives and cross departmental projects but at least it does give you a chance to learn more than your title would otherwise expose you to at other companies.
