Pros

Great benefits and paid vacation early on. Birthday is a paid day off. Awesome team environment for the most part and great opportunities to advance if you put in the effort.

Cons

Can lack on communication. Production sometimes comes before quality which can lead to loss of contracts. Too long of a time frame before you earn three weeks vacation. Instead of 10 years it should be 5. Shouldn't be a final top out in pay increases as this can cause a lack of effort to improve performance.

Pros

There are a ton of nice and competent folks that work at AWC.

Cons

Management from top to bottom is clueless on almost everything. Priorities are misplaced and the business is poorly understood. They rely upon tribal knowledge from folks that have worked only at AWC to ruin a good thing.

As long as it's not Orlando branch

Business Outlook

Pros

The pros are the good pay and bonuses.

Cons

To be hired there you have to be family or friend. A lot of the same last names floating around there. Office is run off of inexperienced managers, who thrive on gossip, rumors, and talking about your personal business. Someone is always on the "hot seat" (usually picked on until demoted twice and then let go if they don't quit first ) the employees are over worked and physically ill from the stress and toxic environment the managers and leads put them in the workplace, and don't try and request to see a physician on their time, that's an attendance variance to them. If your not fired in time from you not conforming to their unprofessional ways of "leading" Than you will be fired for anything they can find I quit before they gave the opportunity as well did the few before me. If you want a secure place, and to obtain your mental health ... run away from the Orlando branch.
