Pros

We are transforming into a company that is much more transparent. We have several new initiatives and tools that will assist us in monitoring performance and recognizing hard work. Opportunities will be almost exclusively metric driven by performance. We continue to improve in our overall successes and minimizing long term concerns and there is effective communication from the CEO to the Field. It is a very encouraging place to work in and with Senior Mgmt the communication appears to be on the same page top down but also a good opportunity for feedback back upwards to all levels.

Cons

24 hour operations, always something happening, ( which can be a positive if you like activity ) several report cards, some of which almost contradict each other. Overall fair, equitable and metric driven towards success.

Pros

No micromagement , You earn incentives when customers forget to fill the gas , also when the car was damaged and they accept to pay , managers are nice , deal with Karen and difficult customers sometimes , rush hours where there is no room for cars but it is worth it

Cons

Fluctuate schedule you might work middle shift today , tomorrow you work early morning shift like 5AM and next day you work closing shift 1 to 9 PM. It is just bad for me because I just experienced personal household problem so I have only one car in the household so I had to leave

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
