Pros

Good pay. OK benefits OK equipment on the road.

Cons

Being told by management constantly that they don't care about you. They play favorites . based on race. Never promote from within. Facilities are old outdated run down and some are unsafe. IT systems are extemly outdated. Like from the early 80's

Pros

Steady work, benefits. Weekly pay.

Cons

Below minimum wage overtime pay. Day rate pay. No advancement without connections. Up to 16 hour days. Every promise broken or never achieved. Revolving door job adding to the "steady work" comment above. Company does not take responsibility for anything and they don't back up any employees below management. Can and will terminate you on the spot to save any trouble.
