Pros

Benefits....maybe, other than that, you really need to consider if it's worth the aggravation. See cons.

Cons

Senior management team out of touch. Misleading and bullying management style permeates the organization. Ideas and input are shunned, and ridiculed. Best talent is leaving in droves. Constantly in crisis mode. Top heavy organization, way too many projects, committees, audits, calls. Middle and top management extremely heavy, massive reductions needed. Deception and dishonesty rampant, 3 CFOs in 1 year says a lot to this point. Now a financial crisis and failure to report Q1 results. Not good. Narcissistic top leadership destroying once good company. Turnover is incredible. Constant layoffs, but its always the little guy in field.

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.
