Pros

My peers are great and care a lot about doing their best. My direct manager acknowledges that things above him is a significant work in progress.

Cons

The people creating the strategy at the company demonstrate zero interest in their employees. I am sure they feel great about employing 13,000+ people but when they don't give raises for multiple years running, have a terrible benefit package, and continue to over complicate every process employees need to do their jobs it demonstrates the priority is not the employee. Words are a lot different then actions. The company is also going to have a big problem when the old guard and all their intellectual knowledge leaves and everyone left has no documentation and idea how business is done.

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.
