Pros

At one point, this company had a lot going for it. The people made the job worth staying for, and there was a sense of teamwork and pride. The benefits were acceptable, and things felt stable. Sadly, much of that has been lost in 2025.

Cons

The company culture took a major hit in 2025. Teams were eliminated without realistic plans to cover the work, but expectations stayed the same. Working 60-hour weeks became the norm just to keep up, while senior leaders post photos of themselves drinking at conferences on Linked In. Micromanagement was constant and comes from every direction, upper management and lab-level management. You’d be watched so closely that it was hard to do your job efficiently or independently, and there was very little trust. Benefits costed more than they’re worth, and new systems were rolled out before they were ready, which just created more work and frustration. Despite the constant talk about “culture,” there was little real appreciation, no bonus, just company wide email blasts saying “thanks for all you do - work harder so we get our stocks up.” Everyone was burnt out and exhausted. It felt like fighting for your job every day and it was horrible. This job severely affected mental and physical health due to being toxic, and poor leadership. I would run fast if you want to work here in 2026 in the office side of the company. They don’t care about you

Pros

Hardworking field technicians, supportive Corporate Finance and Payroll teams, knowledgeable Regional Administrative Managers, opportunities to learn, and valuable industry experience.

Cons

Inconsistent leadership, poor communication, unclear and constantly changing expectations, disorganized processes, lack of accountability, reactive management, limited support from leadership, low morale, and a stressful work environment. Employees often felt uninformed, and the lack of transparency made it difficult to perform their jobs effectively. Field technicians deserved greater recognition and support.
