Pros

Devoted to helping employees develop their skills through consistant training and mentoring. Management goes out of their way to help employees progress and move up within the company structure. In as big a company as this, it's great to see the owner make personal visits to all the locations and visit with employees, always giving meaningful advise on how to improve and become the best in the industry. This company is forward thinking and very customer service driven. It's nice to work for a company that will put the customer and employee first.

Cons

None that I can think of at this time.

Thanks for the note! Yes, we like that Brad visits the branches and reviews results with the team members too! Thank you for the emphasis regarding providing a feeling of ownership. Sponsoring the freedom to have an entrepreneurial spirit is a benefit at Battery Systems that allows us to retain a small-company feel and responsiveness. The price: less procedure, fewer board meetings, more freedom to define your success. Not everyone likes this. There is nothing to hide behind for an entrepreneur. You must find a way to succeed that brings others along with you. So far, our history points to this working well. Keep up the awesome work! Best Regards, Todd Scott Director of HR

Pros

I enjoy going to my job everyday. Pay is fair. They have lots of benefits, such as extra pay based on performance and free healthy lunches. They offer a 401k, health insurance, bereavement time off, a good amount of vacation days and uniforms. They have helped me financially with family matters and personal problems. Everyone i have worked with in the company has always seemed to care about the employees they work with. They understand you have a life outside of the job and let you have time off if something comes up. I have worked here less than two years but in several positions and locations by my choice. I have also had a good amount of accidents on the job and they were understanding and only cared about my well-being.

Cons

It is hard physical labor but, they are straightforward with that in the hiring process. Sometimes you deal with customers who don't treat you fairly.

Pros

Depending where you want to live, they have stores all over the west coast. Great oppurtunity to move within the company, ant position.

Cons

Some of the long term, old timers who have been here... are stuck in there ways. Doesn't seem to be a lot of help from most management on stopping that.
