Pros

Honestly, I cant think of anything positive to say other than the fact that I'm no longer subjected to working there.

Cons

Very poor management within the maintenance team, some managers have a dictator mentality in their role and a gross lack of leadership ability, morale is very low in support groups due to the heinous management styles exhibited with total disregard to employees personal life/work balance, 12 days on- 2 days off. overtime is "mandatory" even when there is no support needed, constant threats of disciplinary action for menial things. By far the least satisfying and worst year and 2 month experience in my 25 years in this career field. Management within the maintenance group has the inability to recognize the talent that individuals possess and bring to the table from outside sources. Some technicians are allowed to level up while others are unjustly scrutinized and not allowed to participate in the program, Participation in the preventative maintenance program is utilized as a incognito form of "punishment". Very unprofessional work environment to say the least.

Pros

Personally I have a good manager but can't speak for everyone

Cons

Super busy and stressful because they are understaffed. Not enough people because they haven't given raises or promotions in years and there is no answer for when they will start doing it so everyone is leaving. They won't hire anyone to replace them because they are broke and trying to save money.
