Pros

Potential to make money if you play the game and if you don’t have a life.

Cons

They’ll attempt to sweep your personal life under the rug and ask when you can work next. They’re understaffed with a high turnover rate. They’re squeezing fresh employees with hopes of ignorance. Quick to get you in the door and even faster to over load you with someone else’s work or work that has been pass due in hopes of bumping their annual bonuses by small margins. Mismanagement, low moral during any meetings, poor instruction, belittlement of employees. You’ll likely never have a weekend off as they allow call backs(must be responded to in 24hrs, yes on your day off and are extremely likely) to jobs for moronic reasonings(most occurred example: pest witnessed outside) that are not outlined in proper call back procedures for fear of losing the customer. They charge customers monthly without proper monthly inspections and do not drop clients even while understaffed(I witnessed these while conducting routine services on equipment that had gone uninspected for well over a year).

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
