Pros

Offers high quality services, in a unique industry niche with limited competition, unquestioned environmental integrity. Good computer systems.

Cons

Completely dysfunctional company. Tenure is the only thing that matters- stay with them 30 years and you can be a SVP- even if you are just a truck driver with no education and qualifications to hold the position. Employees do not matter, at all. This is evidenced by the lack of recognition, minimal benefits, limited 401(k) match, salary freezes, etc. Perhaps if the executives would stop flying around on their jet, the top performing employee could have a merit increase?

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.
