Cons

-Per diem is low -Not a lot of talented electricians to learn from -The few talented individuals will be overwhelmed with alot of responsibilities -Not many journeyman on most jobs, almost always out of ratio -Will spend alot of time on rework especially on jobs with temps -Don’t expect breaks, they push labor pretty hard. Lunch is about the only break you get on a ten hour day -Journeyman pay is low -401k match is very low

Pros

Steady work and local management was great.

Cons

Lots of corporate overhead made bids for new work uncompetitive. Silly corporate mentality and initiatives - lots of corporate acronyms and they took away knives in the field for safety.
