Pros
- FSEs get a company car for work orders, but for $70/month you can use the car for personal use (includes gas, taxes, tolls, maintenance, insurance, etc) - The car is insane value, I sold my car and me and my wife take that car whenever possible: grocery store, vacations, trips to visit her parents (200 miles) or summer trips (600+ miles) and it costs us nothing. - I've broken down before and called Wheels and they sent a tow truck to pick up the car and I was in a rental same day. - Someone broke my rear windshield and stole my tools, got a same day rental, Safelite appointment, and new tools for $0 - $5,250/yr for undergrad tuition reimbursement and $10,000 (money after $5,250 is taxed) for graduate programs - BUT you have to stay with BD for 3 years or you pay it back, unless you get laid off. - 3% 401k match, decent insurance, HSA - get paid for drive time and from the minute I leave my house until I am home - same rate as screw driver time. So if I leave a site at 5pm but it's an hour drive home plus another hour of traffic then it's 2 hours of OT pay. - average of 10-20 hours a paycheck (2 week) of OT, can be good or bad
Cons
- BD field service is 24/7365 so we are on call, and it can be a lot depending on how many guys staff your assigned area. I am a team of 4 so it's every 4th weekend, we share weeknights and holidays. - average of 10-20 hours a paycheck (2 week) of OT, can be good or bad - work-life balance can be difficult with on-calls and scheduling PTO around other people - BD is an organizational cluster-fudge, they'll lay off 15% of their customer facing staff who actually go onsite and fix issues for customer, then hire new VPs - VPs weirdly are always leaving and getting hired? No idea who they are or what they do? - it is insanely hard to find the resources to do our job, files to install software/reimage are a nightmare to locate, documents and guides are scattered messes - this is multibillion dollar company!
