Pros

The pay is only decent because you work a minimum of 55 hours a week If you love never doing anything outside of working then this is the job for you

Cons

Long hours for horrible pay Post false job descriptions to attract people to apply Employees that have worked there for 10 years are being paid the same as when they started Like prison without the chains They brag about safety being their number one priority however they had me take one of the certification tests that shows you know what you’re doing for 3 employees just to save the company money Management does not communicate People are in positions of power that have no idea what they’re doing and just shift the blame to newer employees when something goes wrong Will say 12 hour shifts, promise to go down to 10 hours but never do Inconsistent when it comes to punishments Play favorites Uneven work loads (newer employees do majority of the work) Promise career advancement and keep you in the same position

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.
