Pros

The pay is good, my particular department is wonderful, benefits right out the gate, well intentioned. You can feel positive about your jobs impact.

Cons

They claim they can't afford raises while pending what has to be (at least) in the upper hundreds of thousands in unnecessary building renovations. If you work on the field you will be worshipped as a god, if you work in home office you are a worthless pitiful thing. All acolades are awarded to top executives or those on the field. Internal communication is abysmal; I am constantly berated by field workers for things beyond my control. Regardless of how cruel they are, we are to handle them with kid gloves. They face no repercussions for harassing and insulting me on an almost daily basis. My manager seems to care, but they are stunted by upper management. I was passed over for a promotion (regardless of my years and seniority over the promoted individual) out of convenience during the pandemic, when that money would have mattered most. If you are not a boring white yes man, do not expect advancement internally. "Employee Assistance Program" that I contacted to assist with the mountains of anxiety and depression induced by an ever increasing workload is abysmal and unhelpful. I was first referred to their website better help, and after not meshing with my first Dr was told my "account was closed because they can't help me". The two therapists they got me never contacted me again. They can't even help solve the mental health problems they cause. Upper management completely out of touch. Being an individual is frowned upon. If youre an emotionless number, you will do well here.

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.
