Pros

Excellent benefits and core values, internal mobility encouraged.

Cons

There is a very high power distance between organizational levels. Middle management frequently resists to innovative and potentially beneficial proposals from employees for fear of reaction from top management. I have witnessed and personally experienced poor recruiting standards and intimidaiting practices from HR personnel. There is an evident lack of care for employees' career plans and personal interests.

Pros

- Decent pay and good benefits - work truck with gas card -good experience

Cons

- management is disconnected from field employees - review process does not reflect employee performance since managers do not go out in field in order to properly assess job performance - poor communication which leads to chaotic project implementation - no standardization of necessary info for each customer site. You walk in completely blind each time you visit a customer you’ve never been to - safety is important, but corporate pushes redundant messaging so frequently i believe it has the opposite of the intended effect - forced to wear long sleeves FR shirts in hot weather even when you are not exposed to fire hazards any more than a standard office employee
