Pros

They pay well. There is a nice base salary and often a pretty good yearly bonus. Generally flexible schedule but that is based on each manager's preference.

Cons

If you work in corporate you better be an engineer, christian, white, male, straight with a stay at home wife and a few kids if you want to have any career advancement. Or to not feel like a complete outsider. I do NOT recommend this as a place for women to work. The overall culture is pretty awful.

Stay Away from Lawton

Pros

I truly and honestly have nothing positive to say about this company, especially not the Lawton, OK location.

Cons

Dangerous area, unsafe practices such as not working between grounds, and pitiful management. This isn't even a good place to get your foot in the door. They cycle through apprentices like crazy. They lost, at the very least, five in the last two years. In my opinion, this is no place for a family. Gang activity, drive-bys, home invasions, and murder. The areas that used to be safe are starting to decline according to residents in Elgin. Just search the news. Stay far away.
