Pros

A few coworkers were relatable and could commiserate over how bad things were.

Cons

Management was absolutely horrible. People have to get injured multiple times before taking a safety issue seriously. A guy died from a heart attack and they continue with business as usual without any consideration that the stress of the place contributed to his death. Supervisors played favorites and I got threated with writeups for nonsensical reasons, so I had to call HR multiple times. They were more interested in assigning blame to the client company and being combative than in actually learning to fix problems. There was practically no formal training. All of it except for a couple power point presentations was done on the job, and it occasionally resulted in contradictory instructions from the client's employees. Communication was generally horrible. I found myself saying multiple times "Tell me what you need and I'll do it." They wouldn't fix the issue of radios failing either, so I got blamed for failures when nobody could notify me of a problem. I guess that was too much of an expense for them to justify. The pay was a joke for the amount of responsibility put on this position. The sickday/attendance policy was a bureaucratic mess, and people got fired for taking PTO that was approved.

Pros

Organization is very flat in comparison to other companies

Cons

The "we're a family" culture is always talked of, but in reality it is reserved for those who have been around the longest. Due to high tenure, it was truly unbelievable the sheer level of immaturity leadership has displayed regarding personal/health information, sharing political opinions which has no place at work, golf preferences, layoffs, etc. It is a boys club through and through where boundaries are regularly crossed. Management tends to be very vocal about when they let people go, but noticeably quiet when people leave due to longstanding cultural issues that have gone unaddressed or unacknowledged for a long time. I have witnessed management using the most insensitive and unprofessional language when talking about who got let go or left on their terms. If you are considering the sales team specifically, it leans heavily on traditional old school business practices with limited appetite for change with both marketing and internally. Systems are barely understood to make your work more efficient and newer reps tend to exit within two to three years. Those who have stayed long you truly can't trust with feedback or personal struggles. The role is harped as financially rewarding but often at a significant cost to work life balance and personal wellbeing which is very apparent. If you don't show management you eat breathe and sleep work, good luck. Leaders are highly unreceptive to having their methods questioned, and most have spent their entire careers here which limits outside perspective. Many companies are ahead in terms of flexibility, benefits, internal tools, analytics, and overall culture. Newer employees whom I knew, by large, do not find this to be an enjoyable place to work and left or are debating on it when a new opportunity arrives.
