Pros

Uniontown building location makes for reasonable commute. Office building is recently remodeled, reasonably nice/clean work environment. Vast majority of desks are variable height with newer office chairs. I worked with some great people who became life long friends. The environment within IT allowed for exposure to many types of infrastructure/gear which afforded wide ranging experience. There was never a shortage of work or projects. If hands-on, learn by doing is your style then there is plenty of opportunity.

Cons

Within IT, I found training opportunities were very limited. Compensation was not competitive nor were performance expectations aligned with job titles. On-call rotation was sparse and the organization did not promote effective work/life balance. Leadership in IT and at the senior level did not have realistic expectations for staff or projects. Project management for IT projects was nearly non-existent. The IT group was short staffed even when all open positions were filled and supplementing with offshore contracting. IT Staff turnover is high and retention clearly a challenge which leads to loss of institutional/tribal knowledge. From a culture standpoint, the company seemed outdated and slow to implement policies related to pandemic hybrid/remote vs on-site. Political leanings of senior staff were on display more often than many would have preferred. Senior Leadership did not always correctly assess risks to the organization or take steps to mitigate those risks.

Pros

It’s a job. They pay you to work. They provide a company vehicle, cell phone, and lap top.

Cons

Management gets bored and starts squeezing the service techs and hourly employees. Gets old. They have town hall meetings every year telling us how great they are doing but don’t provide any type of bonus to the hourly employees. Insurance premiums go up more than wages most years. Annual pay increases don’t seem to be linked to your review and rarely beat inflation. They rank you on metrics that you have no control over.
