Pros

Decent pay with mandatory overtime. Offer health benefits if you can afford them.

Cons

Management is the WORST I have ever dealt with!!! Will put you in danger to save branch dollars. Equipment breaks down regularly. Extreme favoritism! Bring bosses food, gossip instead of work, and get promoted! They take local jobs away from locals by firing hard local workers and importing their buddies from elsewhere. Safety Kleen will put your integrity on the line, and make u drive faulty or expired equipment, risking your license, with no regard because there is no risk to theirs. Middle micromanagement spends more time and money going to lunch, getting buddy hair cuts, and buddy shopping with company credit cards than working appreciating or acknowledging issues or hard work! Nothing but broken promises, and lies to spend company money, and cover their own tails! RUN AWAY! Save yourself the hassle!

Pros

Plenty of hours between 75 to 80 hours a week minimum. Good place to get experience as a stepping stone.

Cons

You're always on call it is mandatory that you work three weekends a month both Saturday and Sunday including the 5-day work weeks Monday through Friday Technician. As a coordinator you work 6 day work weeks Sunday through Friday you only get Saturdays off it's a salary based position so you get no compensation if you work over 8 hours a day as a coordinator and you will work more than 8 hours a day your minimum will be 12 to 14 hours a day up to a maximum of 18 hours a day regularly.
