Pros

Ok employee discount, ability to do some work outside when cars need to be cleaned.

Cons

Let's see...low pay. You will never see a cost of living increase. You will be constantly understaffed. When someone calls I'm sick the whole branch is screwed. Many of their software programs have issues that are never resolved. You must say yes to every rental even when you don't have the cars and you know you won't have the cars. After you day yes to the rental you have to call the customer back and tell them you don't have one all to pass an audit. Oh the customers for the most part are horrible. High demands from them and managment.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
