Pros

The staff employees are very competent and knowledgeable regarding the industry they serve. They are also personable and friendly to work with.

Cons

Cathy and Larry Wendt, who own the company, are incompetent employee managers. They, at times, treat their employees very poorly. Compliments are few and far between; criticisms are abundant. Benefits are abysmal.

Pros

Emphasizes teamwork Good working environment Good support from company leadership Company is transparent about operations Excellent benefits, including free lunch every day!

Cons

Can be a little overwhelming learning to document your time when first learning the processes in place at first, but the systems in place do have a logic.

Pros

The majority of the people you work with are fantastic.

Cons

Management has no clue as to how unfair and unbalanced they or their views are. The techs are asked to work/travel through their lunch hours, and if they don;t get to eat or want more time - they are advised to start early or stay late. They expect all of their employees - except for family and the two administrative people - to work at least 45-50 hours per week, and if they do not - they are reprimanded. However, management thinks this is not only fair, but also generous. Watch out though - salary here definitely does not work both ways. Even if you work over 40 hours that week - if you leave before 5 pm, they will take out vacation or personal time for it. During the interview process, they will tell you they do not micro-manage, but then you will have 15 plus emails in an hour asking about what you are doing.
