Pros

They pay for gas and have some fun company events every once in a while. You can do errands sometimes in between sites and they don’t mind.

Cons

Work is client and weather based which is fine, but if work is low, they tell you to use your PTO if you’re unable to make 40 hours within the week. Lots of false promises, not a lot of room for advancement, lacks serious training, and I can guarantee you, you can find a company within the same field that will offer you more compensation.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your time with GTA. To provide some clarification, it is not company policy to use PTO when work is light. Though we do offer the option for employees to use their accumulated paid time off during light periods to avoid reduced hours in a week, it is never a requirement. Compensation is an important aspect and while we make sure to offer competitive compensation packages, we also understand that there may be variations in the market. At GTA, our benefits package goes beyond market standards, encompassing 401K, life, disability, and medical insurance, paid time off, educational assistance, referral bonuses, and more. Moreover, we're committed to fostering the professional and personal advancement of our employees. We provide access to a variety of tools and resources, including in-house and external training opportunities, to support growth within the company.

Cons

- Lack of professionalism - A lot things you find out about the job are when you mess up rather than stated in training. - Toxic environment - You will be talked down to in front of other employees - Management takes their anger out on their employees
