Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues for the most part (see cons). Open door policy with managers. Non-stressful environment in my area at least.

Cons

My only complaint would be that there are some very obnoxious colleagues--offensive in a "light-hearted" way if that makes sense. To some, said colleagues might be considered worthy of being reported to HR. I think this may have already happened while I was there. Side note: There was one particular colleague who was very "weak" and immature in the sense that they were not able to cope with what the majority of the employees would deem "simple tasks", as well as positive critique towards others (this employee would get jealous).

Pros

The role provides the opportunity to meet a diverse range of people, oversee multiple sites, and stay active throughout the day. The constant movement and variety help keep the work engaging and dynamic.

Cons

Supervisors are often overwhelmed by the number of accounts they are responsible for managing. They are required to conduct site checks within specific timeframes, regardless of the distance between locations, which can be challenging and time-consuming. Additionally, staffing shortages and heavy workloads can force supervisors to cover posts themselves when no one on the roster is available or willing to take an assignment, preventing them from completing other critical responsibilities. The company appears to follow federal law only to the extent necessary to avoid legal repercussions. As a member of the military reserves, I have observed that legally mandated rest periods following military duty are not always adequately considered by management when scheduling employees. This can create unnecessary fatigue and make it more difficult to balance military obligations with civilian work responsibilities.
