Pros

Yearly bonus Potential to upskill COL yearly payrise Potential for overtime Company van and tools

Cons

Can be overloaded with work as the office sometimes doesnt understand how long things take Office can overpromise then the engineer will turn up on site and have to let the customer down as it might be against company policy Could be paid a bit more as some parts of the business such as ASHP electricians earn around £5k more than EV electricans even though they do the same if not less amount than us There is a points system where the more points you earn a day the more bonus' you can earn, however the bonus to earn to make it worth while is almost impossible to earn

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
