Pros

There system is pretty easy to learn. The managers that I have worked with have been very personable and great to work with. The health and vacation benefits are pretty decent.

Cons

Where do I start.... First off, the training for this company is horrendous! The first week I I was actually stuck working a whole office by myself, when I had no idea what I was really doing. I tried reaching both the assistant branch manager and branch manager by phone but neither answered, so I did what any other person would do, WING IT. I ended up putting out multiple rentals without even knowing they were done correctly. Second, scheduling specifically for my branch isn't given out until the day before the week starts, so it makes it difficult for planning things without requesting off, which seems to be a problem. Third, the company seems to be having financial difficulties, the cars have been forced to stay out longer and corporate just finished doing multiple lay-offs. This place is a good place to come to if desperate for money, but try to find something else while working here.

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.
