Pros
- you don't have to be compentent to get promoted you just have to work there for a while - benefits are pretty good - good for getting experience if you have literally no prior experience, but you're probably not going to get hired if you don't have prior experience
Cons
- it varies wildly whether the people around you are good at their job and care about it, including managers and other higher level people - it used to be that if you finished all the work for the day before you were scheduled to leave, you could leave early but still clock out at the time you were scheduled for so you'd still get your expected pay. they're getting rid of that in the new year so that the executives can make more money, and that was one of the only good things about working here - super inconsistant work hours, especially during the slow season you won't work for weeks at a time, which means no pay - their official training is encore university which means watching hours of videos about how they want you to do their job. then you do the actual work and half their equipment doesn't work properly or the senior technicians tell you to do it differently than what encore university told you, which makes all that time watching the videos essentially pointless - it took three weeks for me to work with another woman technician (just a neutral observation) - if you want to make work friends, you won't be able to, especially if you're based out of a smaller property and are constantly going to other properties and working with different people every single day
