Pros

Coworkers were nice, work was usually pretty plentiful.

Cons

The pay this company offers is dismal compared to similar companies and jobs. Management is continually rushing you and breathing down your neck and will not hesitate to throw you under the bus for their gain. Upward advancement is almost impossible, and they continue to hire unqualified employees for higher positions, while senior technicians are lazy.

Great location just outside of Waukesha

Cons

Poor pay, often below competition Upper management doesn't manage the teams below them or take care of employees. Executives have built a culture that only cares about sales and doesn't care about producing a great product or service. Management spend a lot of time talking and not doing work.
