Field experience gained but inconsistent schedules and low pay
Pros
-Project Managers are easy to work with and will help you with any issues you may have on site -Have company vehicles that are kept in good working condition -Will gain plenty of field experience -great arm workout carrying the equipment
Cons
-Position is almost 100% in the field, with schedules being sent out at 5pm the day before. This leads to inconsistent work schedules with schedule updates as late as 8pm. -Schedule inconsistency can lead to days being 7 hours to 11+ hours with next to no warning. -Low pay and insufficient, inconsistent training leads to them hiring young kids out of college who are willing to work for low pay, and leave within 5 years. -No clear path for upward growth, due to small company and limited upper management positions. Felt like I could be filling the role for 10+ years. -Due to size of company new hires could quickly be "thrown to the wolves" -Older technicians seem jaded and while helpful do not inspire long term employment leading to high turnover. -Experienced rude and unprofessional behavior from one of the older techs. -If hired under Bayside solutions no PTO until hired which could be up to 9 months in with reduced pay.
