Pros

You get weekends and the typical holidays off, there are over 500 locations in the US and a few in Canada if relocation is desirable, the benefits are good, flexible with schedules within reason.

Cons

It is a highly male driven industry and company which allows for sexual harassment issues however each location is different. Not much training provided if it's your first time in the industry.

Pros

Great people that have been there for years. The Director (the senior management) was the friendliest and most understanding person I had ever met. I would have stayed with the company if he was my direct boss. I left because of the supervisor and manager.

Cons

The supervisor lacked emotional intelligence and showed aggressive micro-management tactics. The manager played favorites but always showed professionalism when his boss was in sight. There was a lack of progress within the department. The SOP was to review a PowerPoint presentation on outdated instructions to learn how to do daily tasks. If you asked the supervisor for help, they would tell you it was in the PowerPoint and rarely would give you sound advice. When expressing concern to the manager about this, nothing was done about the SOP of learning a task. There was a lack of engagement with the manager and the team as a whole. Many recommendations were brought to the managers and nothing was ever executed or reviewed at the department level.
