Pros

Salaries are good and in line with or above national average. Extremely busy, hectic days even without storms. Constant headaches due to new back-office system,

Cons

Too much work for front-line supervisors. Some mid-level managers are uninvolved or dont seem to care. Possibly because they are over stretched as well. No work/life balance.
